89 The Dawn -Al-Fajr
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[89.1] By the dawn
[89.2] and ten nights (of pilgrimage or the last ten
days of Ramadan),
[89.3] by the even, and the odd,
[89.4] by the night when it journeys on!
[89.5] Is there in that an oath for the mindful?
[89.6] Have you not heard how your Lord dealt with Aad?
[89.7] of the columned (city) of Iram,
[89.8] the like of which was never created in the
countries?
[89.9] And Thamood, who hewed out the rocks of the
valley?
[89.10] And Pharaoh, of the pegs (impaling his victims)?
[89.11] They were tyrants in the land
[89.12] and exceeded in corruption therein.
[89.13] (Therefore) your Lord let loose upon them a
scourge of punishment;
[89.14] indeed, your Lord is ever watchful.
[89.15] As for man, when his Lord tests him by honoring
him and favoring him, he says: 'My Lord, has honored me. '
[89.16] But when He tests him by restricting his
provision, he says: 'My Lord has humiliated me. '
[89.17] No! But you show no good to the orphan,
[89.18] nor do you urge one another to feed the needy.
[89.19] and you devour the inheritance with greed,
[89.20] and you ardently love wealth.
[89.21] No! But when the earth quakes and is pounded,
[89.22] and your Lord comes with the angels, rank upon
rank,
[89.23] and Gehenna (Hell) is brought near on that Day
the human will remember, and how shall the Reminder be for him?
[89.24] He will say: 'Would that I had forwarded (good
works) for my life! '
[89.25] But on that Day none will punish as He (Allah)
will punish,
[89.26] nor will any bind as He binds.
[89.27] O satisfied soul,
[89.28] return to your Lord wellpleased, wellpleasing.
