Surah The Dawn [Al-Fajr] Ayah 30 Location Maccah Number 89

وَٱلْفَجْرِ ﴿١﴾

By the dawn;

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ ﴿٢﴾

And by the ten nights,

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ ﴿٣﴾

And by the even and the odd.

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ﴿٤﴾

And by the night when it departs.

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ ﴿٥﴾

Is there (not) in them sufficient proofs for men of understanding!

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ﴿٦﴾

Saw you not how your Lord dealt with `Ad

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ ﴿٧﴾

Iram of the pillars,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ﴿٨﴾

The like of which were not created in the land

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ ﴿٩﴾

And Thamud, who hewed out rocks in the valley

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ﴿١٠﴾

And Fir`awn with Al-Awtad

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ﴿١١﴾

Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands.

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ ﴿١٢﴾

And made therein much mischief.

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ﴿١٣﴾

So, your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ ﴿١٤﴾

Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ ﴿١٥﴾

As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honor and bounties, then he says: \"My Lord has honored me.\"

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ ﴿١٦﴾

But when He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: \"My Lord has humiliated me!\"

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ﴿١٧﴾

But no! But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity!

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ﴿١٨﴾

And urge not one another on the feeding of the Miskin!

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا ﴿١٩﴾

And you devour the Turath -- devouring with greed.

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا ﴿٢٠﴾

And you love wealth with love Jamma.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا ﴿٢١﴾

Nay! When the earth is flatened, Dakkan Dakka.

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا ﴿٢٢﴾

And your Lord comes with the angels in rows.

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ﴿٢٣﴾

And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance avail him

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ﴿٢٤﴾

He will say: \"Alas! Would that I had sent forth for my life!\"

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ﴿٢٥﴾

So on that Day none will punish as He will punish.

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ﴿٢٦﴾

And none will bind as He will bind.

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ﴿٢٧﴾

\"O tranquil soul!\"

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ ﴿٢٨﴾

\"Come back to your Lord, -- well-pleased and well-pleasing!\"

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى ﴿٢٩﴾

\"Enter then among My servants,\"

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى ﴿٣٠﴾

\"And enter My Paradise!\"
