| | Abdul Hye rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr) --- |
---|
89:1 | | By the dawn, |
89:2 | | by the 10 nights (first 10 days of the month of Dhul-Hijja), |
89:3 | | by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah), |
89:4 | | and by the night when it departs! |
89:5 | | Are there not in them (above oaths) sufficient proofs for the people of understanding? |
89:6 | | Have you (O Muhammad) not seen how your Lord dealt with Ad (people)? |
89:7 | | (Tall residents of) Iram with lofty pillars, |
89:8 | | the like of which were not created like them in the land. |
89:9 | | With Thamud (people), who cut out rocks in the valley (to make residences)? |
89:10 | | With Pharaoh who had the stakes? |
89:11 | | They all transgressed beyond bounds in the lands, |
89:12 | | and made much mischief in it. |
89:13 | | So your Lord poured on them different kinds of punishment. |
89:14 | | Surely, your Lord is ever watchful (over them). |
89:15 | | As for people, when their Lord tries them and gives them honor and bounties, they say: “Our Lord has honored us.” |
89:16 | | But when He tries them through restricting their means of life, then they say: “Our Lord has humiliated us!” |
89:17 | | Nay! But you did not treat the orphans with kindness and generosity, |
89:18 | | nor did you encourage each other in feeding the poor! |
89:19 | | You devour inheritance (of the weak) with greed, |
89:20 | | and you love wealth with much love! |
89:21 | | Nay! When the earth will be grounded to exceeding grinding (powder), |
89:22 | | your Lord will come with the angels standing in rows, |
89:23 | | hell will be brought near (in sight) that Day. On that Day people will remember (their deeds), but how the remembrance will avail them? |
89:24 | | One will say: “Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for my life?” |
89:25 | | On that Day, none will punish anymore except His punishment, |
89:26 | | and none can bind anyone like His binding. |
89:27 | | (It will be said to the pious): “O you the one in satisfaction! |
89:28 | | Come back to your Lord, well-pleased and well-pleasing (to Him). |
89:29 | | Then you enter among My servants, |
89:30 | | and you enter My Paradise!” |
