| | Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)
--- |
|---|
| 89:1 | | By the daybreak |
| 89:2 | | And the ten nights |
| 89:3 | | And the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | And the night when it departs |
| 89:5 | | Truly in this is an oath for men of understanding |
| 89:6 | | Hast thou not considered how thy Lord dealt with ‘Ad |
| 89:7 | | (Of) Iram, having lofty buildings |
| 89:8 | | The like of which were not created in the land |
| 89:9 | | And (with) Thamud, who hewed out rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | And (with) Pharaoh, the lord of hosts |
| 89:11 | | Who exceeded limits in the cities |
| 89:12 | | And made great mischief therein |
| 89:13 | | So thy Lord poured on them a portion of chastisement |
| 89:14 | | Surely thy Lord is Watchful |
| 89:15 | | As for man, when his Lord tries him, then gives him honour and favours him, he says: My Lord honours me |
| 89:16 | | But when He tries him, then straitens to him his subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me |
| 89:17 | | Nay, but you honour not the orphan |
| 89:18 | | Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor |
| 89:19 | | And you devour heritage, devouring all |
| 89:20 | | And you love wealth with exceeding love |
| 89:21 | | Nay, when the earth is made to crumble to pieces |
| 89:22 | | And thy Lord comes with the angels, ranks on ranks |
| 89:23 | | And hell is made to appear that day. On that day man will be mindful, and of what use will being mindful be then |
| 89:24 | | He will say: O would that I had sent before for (this) my life |
| 89:25 | | But none can punish as He will punish on that day |
| 89:26 | | And none can bind as He will bind on that day |
| 89:27 | | O soul that art at rest |
| 89:28 | | Return to thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing |
| 89:29 | | So enter among My servants |
| 89:30 | | And enter My Garden |
