Al-Fajr
وَالۡفَجۡرِۙ
By the dawn
وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٍۙ
And [by] ten nights
وَّالشَّفۡعِ وَالۡوَتۡرِۙ
And [by] the even [number] and the odd
وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَسۡرِۚ
And [by] the night when it passes
هَلۡ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِيۡ حِجۡرٍؕ
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception
اَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍۙࣕ
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad
اِرَمَ ذَاتِ الۡعِمَادِۙࣕ
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars
الَّتِيۡ لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي الۡبِلَادِۙࣕ
The likes of whom had never been created in the land
وَثَمُوۡدَ الَّذِيۡنَ جَابُوا الصَّخۡرَ بِالۡوَادِۙࣕ
And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley
وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي الۡاَوۡتَادِۙࣕ
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes
الَّذِيۡنَ طَغَوۡا فِي الۡبِلَادِۙࣕ
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
فَاَكۡثَرُوۡا فِيۡهَا الۡفَسَادَۙࣕ
And increased therein the corruption
فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍۙۚ
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment
اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالۡمِرۡصَادِؕ
Indeed, your Lord is in observation
فَاَمَّا الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ فَاَكۡرَمَهٗ وَنَعَّمَهٗ ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّيۡ٘ اَكۡرَمَنِؕ
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
وَاَمَّا٘ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰىهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهٗ ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّيۡ٘ اَهَانَنِۚ
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me
كَلَّا بَلۡ لَّا تُكۡرِمُوۡنَ الۡيَتِيۡمَۙ
No! But you do not honor the orphan
وَلَا تَحٰٓضُّوۡنَ عَلٰي طَعَامِ الۡمِسۡكِيۡنِۙ
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor
وَتَاۡكُلُوۡنَ التُّرَاثَ اَكۡلًا لَّمًّاۙ
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether
وَّتُحِبُّوۡنَ الۡمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّاؕ
And you love wealth with immense love
كَلَّا٘ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الۡاَرۡضُ دَكًّا دَكًّاۙ
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed
وَّجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالۡمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّاۚ
And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank
وَجِايۡٓءَ يَوۡمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۙ يَوۡمَئِذٍ يَّتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ وَاَنّٰي لَهُ الذِّكۡرٰيؕ
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance
