Surah Al-Fajr ( The Dawn ) - Aya count 30

وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ ﰀ ﴿١﴾

By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٖ ﰁ ﴿٢﴾

And [by] ten nights

وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ ﰂ ﴿٣﴾

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَسۡرِ ﰃ ﴿٤﴾

And [by] the night when it passes,

هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ ﰄ ﴿٥﴾

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ﰅ ﴿٦﴾

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ ﰆ ﴿٧﴾

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ ﰇ ﴿٨﴾

The likes of whom had never been created in the land?

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ ﰈ ﴿٩﴾

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ ﰉ ﴿١٠﴾

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ ﰊ ﴿١١﴾

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ ﰋ ﴿١٢﴾

And increased therein the corruption.

فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ ﰌ ﴿١٣﴾

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ ﰍ ﴿١٤﴾

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ ﰎ ﴿١٥﴾

And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ ﰏ ﴿١٦﴾

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."

كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ ﰐ ﴿١٧﴾

No! But you do not honor the orphan

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ ﰑ ﴿١٨﴾

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.

وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلٗا لَّمّٗا ﰒ ﴿١٩﴾

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبّٗا جَمّٗا ﰓ ﴿٢٠﴾

And you love wealth with immense love.

كَلَّآۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكّٗا دَكّٗا ﰔ ﴿٢١﴾

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفّٗا صَفّٗا ﰕ ﴿٢٢﴾

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

وَجِاْيٓءَ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ﰖ ﴿٢٣﴾

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِي ﰗ ﴿٢٤﴾

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."

فَيَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٞ ﰘ ﴿٢٥﴾

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٞ ﰙ ﴿٢٦﴾

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفۡسُ ٱلۡمُطۡمَئِنَّةُ ﰚ ﴿٢٧﴾

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,

ٱرۡجِعِيٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةٗ مَّرۡضِيَّةٗ ﰛ ﴿٢٨﴾

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],

فَٱدۡخُلِي فِي عِبَٰدِي ﰜ ﴿٢٩﴾

And enter among My [righteous] servants

وَٱدۡخُلِي جَنَّتِي ﰝ ﴿٣٠﴾

And enter My Paradise."
