| | Mohammad Shafi rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)

| 89:1 | | By the dawn |
| 89:2 | | And the ten nights |
| 89:3 | | And the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | And by the night as it passes |
| 89:5 | | Is there in this an oath for one with understanding? |
| 89:6 | | Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with AAa |
| 89:7 | | [The anscient people] of Iram, [city of] lofty-pillared buildings |
| 89:8 | | Like which no city had ever been created on the lands |
| 89:9 | | And [another ancient people of] Thamood who hewed the rocks in the valley [to carve out buildings therefrom] |
| 89:10 | | And Pharaoh of the many tent pegs (i.e. with means and power) |
| 89:11 | | Who committed transgression in the lands |
| 89:12 | | They often spread anarchy in them |
| 89:13 | | Then their Lord lashed them with whip of punishment |
| 89:14 | | Indeed, your Lord is ever watchful |
| 89:15 | | Then as his Lord tests him by bestowing honour and bounties upon him, man says, "My Lord has honoured me!" |
| 89:16 | | And as He tests him by restricting his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me!" |
| 89:17 | | No! On the contrary, you do not treat the orphan honourably |
| 89:18 | | And urge not one another to feed the poor |
| 89:19 | | And devour the inheritance — devouring it all |
| 89:20 | | And love the worldly wealth — loving it immensely |
| 89:21 | | [And] no, [the Lord does not restrict His provisions to man to humiliate him]! When the earth is pounded to make it level |
| 89:22 | | And when your Lord reveals Himself with rows upon rows of angels |
| 89:23 | | And Hell brought near, that Day will man remember [what the Qur'aan had told him]! Of what avail will that remembering be to him |
| 89:24 | | Man will say, "Would that I had sent ahead for this life of mine!" |
| 89:25 | | Then, on that Day, Allah will punish him as none other can |
| 89:26 | | And bind him as none other can |
| 89:27 | | "O you contented soul!" |
| 89:28 | | "Return to your Lord pleased [with yourself], pleasing (to your Lord)." |
| 89:29 | | "Enter then to be among My devotees!" |
| 89:30 | | "And enter My Garden!" , |
