89:1
وَٱلْفَجْرِ ١
By the dawn,
89:2
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ ٢
and the ten nights,
89:3
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ ٣
and the even and the odd,
89:4
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ٤
and the night when it passes!
89:5
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ ٥
Is all this ˹not˺ a sufficient oath for those who have sense?
89:6
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ٦
Did you not see how your Lord dealt with ’Ȃd—
89:7
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ ٧
˹the people˺ of Iram—with ˹their˺ great stature,
89:8
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ ٨
unmatched in any other land;
89:9
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ ٩
and Thamûd who carved ˹their homes into˺ the rocks in the ˹Stone˺ Valley;
89:10
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ١٠
and the Pharaoh of mighty structures?
89:11
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ ١١
They all transgressed throughout the land,
89:12
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ ١٢
spreading much corruption there.
89:13
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ١٣
So your Lord unleashed on them a scourge of punishment.
89:14
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ ١٤
˹For˺ your Lord is truly vigilant.
89:15
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ ١٥
Now, whenever a human being is tested by their Lord through ˹His˺ generosity and blessings, they boast, “My Lord has ˹deservedly˺ honoured me!”
89:16
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ ١٦
But when He tests them by limiting their provision, they protest, “My Lord has ˹undeservedly˺ humiliated me!”
89:17
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ١٧
Absolutely not! In fact, you are not ˹even˺ gracious to the orphan,
89:18
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ١٨
nor do you urge one another to feed the poor.
89:19
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا ١٩
And you devour ˹others’˺ inheritance greedily,
89:20
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا ٢٠
and love wealth fervently.
89:21
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا ٢١
Enough! When the earth is entirely crushed over and over,
89:22
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا ٢٢
and your Lord comes ˹to judge˺ with angels, rank upon rank,
89:23
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ٢٣
and Hell is brought forth on that Day—this is when every ˹disbelieving˺ person will remember ˹their own sins˺. But what is the use of remembering then?
89:24
يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ٢٤
They will cry, “I wish I had sent forth ˹something good˺ for my ˹true˺ life.”
89:25
فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ٢٥
On that Day He will punish ˹them˺ severely, like no other,
89:26
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ٢٦
and bind ˹them˺ tightly, like no other.
89:27
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ٢٧
˹Allah will say to the righteous,˺ “O tranquil soul!
89:28
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ ٢٨
Return to your Lord, well pleased ˹with Him˺ and well pleasing ˹to Him˺.
89:29
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى ٢٩
So join My servants,
89:30
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى ٣٠
and enter My Paradise.”
