Al-Fajr

Quran Text — Al-Fajr

89:1 By the dawn.

89:2 And ten nights.

89:3 And by the even and the odd.

89:4 And the night as it passes.

89:5 Is there in this an oath for a man of sense?

89:6 Didn’t you see how your Lord dealt with Aad?

89:7 Iram of the pillars.

89:8 The likes of which had never been created in the lands.

89:9 And Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

89:10 And Pharaoh, owner of the stakes?

89:11 All of them transgressed within their lands.

89:12 Spreading rampant corruption and chaos.

89:13 Therefore, your Lord poured upon them a whip of punishment.

89:14 Your Lord lies in ambush.

89:15 As for man: when his Lord tests him, honors him, and blesses him, he says, “My Lord has honored me.”

89:16 Yet, when He tests him and restricts his provision, he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.”

89:17 But no! You don’t honor the orphan.

89:18 And you don’t encourage one another to feed the poor.

89:19 And you devour inheritance with all greed.

89:20 And you love wealth with vehement love.

89:21 When the earth is leveled, pounded, and pulverized.

89:22 And your Lord comes and the angels, rank upon rank.

89:23 On that Day, Hell will be presented. On that Day, man will remember, but how will remembrance avail him?

89:24 He will say, “Oh, I wish I had prepared for my life!”

89:25 On that Day, none will punish as His punishment.

89:26 And none will shackle as His shackles.

89:27 But as for you, O tranquil soul.

89:28 Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing.

89:29 Join My servants!

89:30 And enter My Paradise!
