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.”
