IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Fajr - The Dawn, Daybreak as rendered by
N J Dawood (2014)
89:1
BY THE Daw
89:2
and the Ten Nights¹
89:3
by that which is dual, and that which is single
89:4
by the night, as it journeys on
89:5
Is there not in this a mighty oath for a man of sense
89:6
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ‘Ād
89:7
The many-columned city of Iram
89:8
whose like has never been created in the land
89:9
And Thamūd, who hewed out their dwellings among the rocks of the valley
89:10
And Pharaoh, who impaled his victims upon the stake
89:11
They had all led sinful lives
89:12
and made the land teem with wickedness
89:13
Therefore your Lord let loose on them the scourge of a torment
89:14
for from His eminence your Lord observes all
89:15
As for man, when his Lord tests him by honouring him and bestowing blessings on him, he says: ‘My Lord has honoured me.&lsquo
89:16
But when He tests him by diminishing his provisions, he says: ‘My Lord despises me.&lsquo
89:17
No! But you show no kindness to the orphan
89:18
nor do you vie with each other in feeding the destitute
89:19
Greedily you lay your hands on the inheritance of the weak
89:20
and you love riches with all your hearts
89:21
No! But when the earth is crushed to fine dust
89:22
and your Lord comes down with the angels, in their ranks
89:23
and Hell is on that day brought near ― on that day man will remember. And what will remembrance avail him
89:24
He will say: ‘Would that I had been charitable in my lifetime!&lsquo
89:25
But on that day none will punish as He will punish
89:26
and none will bind with chains like His
89:27
O serene soul
89:28
Return to your Lord, well pleased, and pleasing in His sight
89:29
Join My servant
89:30
and enter My Paradise
