١
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
٢
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ
٣
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
٤
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
٥
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
Allah swears by the dawn, by the first ten nights of Dhul-Hijjah, by the even and the odd, and by the night as it passes. Is that not enough for anyone who thinks?
٦
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
٧
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
٨
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
Have you not seen, O Prophet, peace be upon him, what your Lord did with the people of 'Aad, the tribe of Iram, so strong, with buildings raised on tall pillars, the like of which were never made in any land?
٩
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
١٠
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
And with Thamud, the people of Salih, peace be upon him, who carved homes out of the rock in the valley? And with Pharaoh, king of Egypt, owner of the armies that held up his rule?
١١
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
١٢
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
١٣
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
١٤
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
They all transgressed in the lands and spread much corruption there, so your Lord poured a severe punishment upon them. Your Lord, O Prophet, peace be upon him, is ever watchful over those who disobey Him.
١٥
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
١٦
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
As for man, when his Lord tests him with blessings and gives him plenty, he says, 'My Lord has honoured me.' And when He tests him by giving him less, he says, 'My Lord has humiliated me.'
١٧
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
١٨
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
١٩
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا
٢٠
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا
No! It is not as he thinks; honour comes from obeying Allah. But you do not honour the orphan, you do not urge one another to feed the poor, you devour other people's inheritance, and you love wealth with a great love.
٢١
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا
٢٢
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا
٢٣
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
No! When the earth is pounded and crushed, and your Lord comes to judge between His creation, with the angels in rows upon rows, and Hell is brought near that Day, then man will remember, but what good will remembering do him then?
٢٤
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
٢٥
فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ
٢٦
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ
He will say, 'If only I had sent ahead good deeds for my real life!' On that Day no one punishes like His punishment, and no one binds like His binding.
٢٧
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
٢٨
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ
٢٩
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى
٣٠
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
O soul at peace with the remembrance of Allah and faith in Him, return to your Lord, pleased with the honour He gave you, and He is pleased with you. Enter among My good servants, and enter My Paradise.
