| | Shakir rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)
--- |
|---|
| 89:1 | | I swear 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 that there is an oath for those who possess understanding |
| 89:6 | | Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad |
| 89:7 | | (The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings |
| 89:8 | | The like of which were not created in the (other) cities |
| 89:9 | | And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts |
| 89:11 | | Who committed inordinacy in the cities |
| 89:12 | | So they made great mischief therein |
| 89:13 | | Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement |
| 89:14 | | Most surely your Lord is watching |
| 89:15 | | And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me |
| 89:16 | | But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me |
| 89:17 | | Nay! but you do not honor the orphan |
| 89:18 | | Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor |
| 89:19 | | And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately |
| 89:20 | | And you love wealth with exceeding love |
| 89:21 | | Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces |
| 89:22 | | And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks |
| 89:23 | | And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him |
| 89:24 | | He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life |
| 89:25 | | But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement |
| 89:26 | | And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding |
| 89:27 | | O soul that art at rest |
| 89:28 | | Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him) |
| 89:29 | | So enter among My servants |
| 89:30 | | And enter into My garden |
