| | Hamid S. Aziz rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)
--- |
|---|
| 89:1 | | I swear by (or call to witness) the daw |
| 89:2 | | And by the nights twice five (of pilgrimage) |
| 89:3 | | And the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | And the night when it passes on |
| 89:5 | | Is there not in these a lesson (evidence or admonition) for a man of understanding |
| 89:6 | | Have you not seen how your Lord did with the people of A´ad |
| 89:7 | | With the city of Iram of the lofty pillars |
| 89:8 | | The like of which has not been created in all the land |
| 89:9 | | And with the people of Thamud when they hewed the great stones in the valley |
| 89:10 | | And with Pharaoh, Lord of the stakes |
| 89:11 | | All these were outrageous in the land |
| 89:12 | | And did multiply wickedness therein |
| 89:13 | | Therefore, your Lord poured out upon them the scourge of diverse torments |
| 89:14 | | Verily, your Lord is ever watchful |
| 89:15 | | Now as for man, whenever his Lord tries him and honours him and grants him favour, then he says, "My Lord has honoured me" |
| 89:16 | | But whenever he tries him and restricts his subsistence, then he says, "My Lord despises me!" |
| 89:17 | | Nay, nay! But you do not honour the orphan |
| 89:18 | | Nor do you urge each other to feed the poor |
| 89:19 | | And you devour the inheritance (of the weak) with greed |
| 89:20 | | And you love wealth with an abounding love |
| 89:21 | | Nay, when the earth is crushed to pieces |
| 89:22 | | And your Lord comes with the angels, rank on rank |
| 89:23 | | And Hell is brought near on that Day, on that Day shall man remember! But how shall the remembrance profit him |
| 89:24 | | He will say, "Would that I had sent something forward for my life!" |
| 89:25 | | But on that Day none shall punish as He punishes |
| 89:26 | | And none shall be bound with bonds like his |
| 89:27 | | But O, you soul in peace and fulfilment |
| 89:28 | | Return unto your Lord, well pleased and well pleasing unto Him |
| 89:29 | | Enter you amongst My servants |
| 89:30 | | Enter you My Garden (Paradise) |
