سورۃ الفجر
-
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْفَجْرِ (1)
By oath of the (particular) dawn. -
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ (2)
And by oath of ten nights. -
وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ (3)
And by oath of the even and the odd. -
وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ (4)
And by oath of the night when it recedes -
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ (5)
Why is there an oath in this, for the intelligent? -
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ (6)
Did you not see how did your Lord deal with (the tribe of) Aad? -
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ (7)
The tall giants of Iram? -
الَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى الْبِلَٰدِ (8)
Like whom no one else was born in the cities. -
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ (9)
And the tribe of Thamud, who hewed rocks in the valley. -
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى الْأَوْتَادِ (10)
And with Firaun, who used to crucify. -
الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى الْبِلَٰدِ (11)
Those who rebelled in the cities, -
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ (12)
And who then spread a lot of turmoil in them. -
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ (13)
Therefore your Lord struck them hard with the means of punishment. -
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ (14)
Indeed nothing is hidden from the sight of your Lord. -
فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ (15)
So man, whenever his Lord tests him by giving him honour and favours – thereupon he says, “My Lord has honoured me.” -
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ (16)
And if He tests him and restricts his livelihood – thereupon he says, “My Lord has degraded me!” -
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ (17)
Not at all – but rather you do not honour the orphan. -
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ (18)
And do not urge one another to feed the needy. -
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا (19)
And you readily devour the inheritance with greed. -
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا (20)
And you harbour intense love for wealth. -
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا (21)
Most certainly - when the earth is smashed and blown to bits. -
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا (22)
And when the command of your Lord comes – and the angels row by row, -
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ (23)
And when hell is brought that day – on that day will man reflect, but where is the time now to think? -
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى (24)
He will say, “Alas – if only I had sent some good deeds ahead, during my lifetime!” -
فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ (25)
So on that day, no one punishes like He does! -
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ (26)
And no one binds like He does! -
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ (27)
O the contented soul! -
ارْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ (28)
Return towards your Lord – you being pleased with Him, and He pleased with you! -
فَادْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى (29)
Then enter the ranks of My chosen bondmen! -
وَادْخُلِى جَنَّتِى (30)
And come into My Paradise!
