Text: Chapter 89: Al-Fajr (Dawn)
وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Is all this ˹not˺ a sufficient oath for those who have sense?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
and Thamûd who carved ˹their homes into˺ the rocks in the ˹Stone˺ Valley;
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
So your Lord unleashed on them a scourge of punishment.1
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Now, whenever a human being is tested by their Lord through ˹His˺ generosity and blessings, they boast, “My Lord has ˹deservedly˺ honoured me!”
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
But when He tests them by limiting their provision, they protest, “My Lord has ˹undeservedly˺ humiliated me!”
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Absolutely not! In fact, you are not ˹even˺ gracious to the orphan,
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Enough! When the earth is entirely crushed over and over,
وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
and your Lord comes ˹to judge˺ with angels, rank upon rank,
وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
and Hell is brought forth on that Day—this is when every ˹disbelieving˺ person will remember ˹their own sins˺. But what is the use of remembering then?
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
They will cry, “I wish I had sent forth ˹something good˺ for my ˹true˺ life.”
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
On that Day He will punish ˹them˺ severely, like no other,
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Return to your Lord, well pleased ˹with Him˺ and well pleasing ˹to Him˺.
