Al-Fajr /
The Daybreak |
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
1 |
By the Break of Day |
2 |
By the Nights twice five; |
3 |
By the Even and Odd (contrasted); |
4 |
And by the Night when it passeth away |
5 |
Is there (not) in these and adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand? |
6 |
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the `Ad (people) |
7 |
Of the (city of) Iram with lofty pillars |
8 |
The like of which were not produced in (all) the land? |
9 |
And with the Thamud (people) who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?- - |
10 |
And with Pharaoh Lord of Stakes? |
11 |
(All) these transgressed Beyond bounds in the lands. |
12 |
And heaped therein Mischief (on mischief). |
13 |
Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisement: |
14 |
For thy Lord is (As a Guardian) on a watch-tower. |
15 |
Now as for man when his Lord trieth him giving him honor and gifts then saith he (puffed up) "My Lord hath honored me." |
16 |
But when He trieth him restricting his subsistence for him then saith he (in despair) "My Lord hath humiliated me!" |
17 |
Nay nay! but ye honor not the orphans! |
18 |
Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor! |
19 |
And ye devour inheritance all with greed. |
20 |
And ye love wealth with inordinate love! |
21 |
Nay! when the earth is pounded to powder |
22 |
And thy Lord cometh and His angels rank upon rank |
23 |
And Hell that Day is brought (face to face) on that Day will man remember but how will that remembrance profit him? |
24 |
He will say: "Ah! would that I had sent forth (Good Deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life." |
25 |
For that Day His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict |
26 |
And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind. |
27 |
(To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul in (complete) rest and satisfaction! |
28 |
"Come back thou to thy Lord well pleased (thyself) and well-pleasing unto Him! |
29 |
"Enter thou then among my Devotees! |
30 |
"Yea enter thou my Heaven"! |
