| | Abdel Haleem rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)
--- |
|---|
| 89:1 | | By the Daybreak |
| 89:2 | | by the Ten Nights |
| 89:3 | | by the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | by the passing night–&ndash |
| 89:5 | | is this oath strong enough for a rational person |
| 89:6 | | Have you [Prophet] considered how your Lord dealt with [the people] of 'Ad |
| 89:7 | | of Iram, [the city] of lofty pillars |
| 89:8 | | whose like has never been made in any land |
| 89:9 | | and the Thamud, who hewed into the rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | and the mighty and powerful Pharaoh |
| 89:11 | | All of them committed excesses in their lands |
| 89:12 | | and spread corruption there |
| 89:13 | | your Lord let a scourge of punishment loose on them |
| 89:14 | | Your Lord is always watchful |
| 89:15 | | [The nature of] man is that, when his Lord tries him through honour and blessings, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me,&rsquo |
| 89:16 | | but when He tries him through the restriction of his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.&rsquo |
| 89:17 | | No indeed! You [people] do not honour orphans |
| 89:18 | | you do not urge one another to feed the poor |
| 89:19 | | you consume inheritance greedily |
| 89:20 | | and you love wealth with a passion |
| 89:21 | | No indeed! When the earth is pounded to dust, pounded and pounded |
| 89:22 | | when your Lord comes with the angels, rank upon rank |
| 89:23 | | when Hell is that Day brought near- on that Day man will take heed, but what good will that be to him then |
| 89:24 | | He will say, ‘Would that I had provided for this life to come!&rsquo |
| 89:25 | | On that Day, no one will punish as He punishes |
| 89:26 | | and no one will bind as He binds |
| 89:27 | | ‘[But] you, soul at peace |
| 89:28 | | return to your Lord well pleased and well pleasing |
| 89:29 | | go in among My servants |
| 89:30 | | and into My Garden.&rsquo |
