| بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ | |
| In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |
| وَالْفَجْرِ |
01 |
| By the dawn; | |
| وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ |
02 |
| By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hîjjah) , | |
| وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ |
03 |
| And by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allâh) . | |
| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ |
04 |
| And by the night when it departs. | |
| هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ |
05 |
| There is indeed in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men of understanding (and that, they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbeliefs, etc.)! | |
| أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ |
06 |
| Did you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) not see (thought) how your Lord dealt with ’Ad (people)? | |
| إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ |
07 |
| Who were very tall like lofty pillars, | |
| الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ |
08 |
| The like of which were not created in the land? | |
| وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ |
09 |
| And (with) Thamûd (people), who cut (hewed) out rocks in the valley (to make dwellings)? | |
| وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ |
10 |
| And (with) Fir’aun (Pharaoh), who had pegs (who used to torture men by binding them to pegs)? | |
| الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ |
11 |
| Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allâh). | |
| فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ |
12 |
| And made therein much mischief. | |
| فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ |
13 |
| So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment. | |
| إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ |
14 |
| Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them). | |
| فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ |
15 |
| As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): ”My Lord has honoured me.” | |
| وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ |
16 |
| But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: ”My Lord has humiliated me!” | |
| كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ |
17 |
| Nay! But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity (i.e. you neither treat them well, nor give them their exact right of inheritance)! | |
| وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ |
18 |
| And urge not on the feeding of AlMiskîn (the poor)! | |
| وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا |
19 |
| And you devour inheritance all with greed, | |
| وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا |
20 |
| And you love wealth with much love! | |
| كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا |
21 |
| Nay! When the earth is ground to powder, | |
| وَجَاء رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا |
22 |
| And your Lord comes with the angels in rows, | |
| وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى |
23 |
| And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance (then) avail him? | |
| يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي |
24 |
| He will say: ”Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life!” | |
| فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ |
25 |
| So on that Day, none will punish as He will punish. | |
| وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ |
26 |
| And none will bind as He will bind. | |
| يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ |
27 |
| (It will be said to the pious): ”O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction! | |
| ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً |
28 |
| ”Come back to your Lord, Well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing unto Him! | |
| فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي |
29 |
| ”Enter you, then, among My honoured slaves, | |
| وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي |
30 |
| ”And enter you My Paradise!” | |
