| | Dr. Munir Munshey rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)
--- |
|---|
| 89:1 | | (I swear by) the dawn |
| 89:2 | | The ten nights (of the month of ´Hajj´) |
| 89:3 | | Even and odd (numbers) |
| 89:4 | | And the night as it passes |
| 89:5 | | Is there a (more solemn) vow for the sensible ones |
| 89:6 | | Are you not aware of what your Lord did to the (people of) ´Aads´ |
| 89:7 | | Those well known for the high pillars (of their architecture) |
| 89:8 | | Such that the likes of them had never been raised in other cities |
| 89:9 | | And (how He dealt) with the people of ´Samood´, who hollowed out huge rocks (and built palaces) in the valley |
| 89:10 | | And with the pharaoh wielding the kingdom |
| 89:11 | | Those who transgressed and crossed all bounds in the lands |
| 89:12 | | And vastly increased mischief and corruption in the land |
| 89:13 | | So your Lord unleashed upon them the scourge of suffering |
| 89:14 | | Indeed, your Lord is ever so vigilant |
| 89:15 | | Such is man! When his Lord puts him through a test by granting him honor and a life of ease, he says, "My Lord has honored me!" |
| 89:16 | | And when He tests him by restricting his means of livelihood, he says, "My Lord has disgraced me!" |
| 89:17 | | Not at all! In fact, you do not treat the orphans kindly |
| 89:18 | | Nor do you encourage each other to feed the poor |
| 89:19 | | Greedily, you (misappropriate and) devour the inheritance (of the weak, the widows and the orphans) |
| 89:20 | | You love wealth with all your heart |
| 89:21 | | No, of course not! (On the day) when the earth is pounded repeatedly and crushed |
| 89:22 | | And your Lord (Himself) comes down, along with His angels ranked in rows |
| 89:23 | | And (the day) the hell is brought (in view), is the day when man shall remember clearly. But rememberance then will be of no avail |
| 89:24 | | Man will say, "Alas! If only I had sent ahead of me (the good deeds) for this life of mine!" |
| 89:25 | | No one can punish (as severely) as He will, that day |
| 89:26 | | No one can tie up and bind as (securely as) He will (that day) |
| 89:27 | | (The righteous would be told), "Oh you, the tranquil peaceful soul!" |
| 89:28 | | "Return to your Lord contented and happy, having won His pleasure!" |
| 89:29 | | "Join My (honored) servants!" |
| 89:30 | | "And enter My (idyllic blissful) paradise!" |
