| | Amatul Rahman Omar rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)
--- |
|---|
| 89:1 | | I call to witness (all the times and places specially important for the acceptance of prayers including) the dawn (of the twentieth of Ramadzan) |
| 89:2 | | And the (last) ten Nights (of Ramadzan) |
| 89:3 | | And (the Prayers which consist of) the even and odd (number of Rak`ats performed during these nights) |
| 89:4 | | And the Night (- Lailatul-Qadr, the Blessed Night), when it moves on (to its close) |
| 89:5 | | In it there is surely a strong evidence for one who has sense and understanding |
| 89:6 | | Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with `a |
| 89:7 | | Of Iram, possessors of tall statures and lofty columns |
| 89:8 | | The like of whom have not been created in these parts of land |
| 89:9 | | And (how He dealt with the tribe of) Thamud who hewed out huge rocks in the valley (to make their housings) |
| 89:10 | | And (how He dealt with) Pharaoh, lord of vast hosts |
| 89:11 | | (All these people were) those who committed (all sort of) excesses in the cities |
| 89:12 | | And they spread a lot of corruption and lawlessness therein |
| 89:13 | | (So much) so that your Lord let loose on them the scourge and various kinds of punishments |
| 89:14 | | Behold! your God is always on the watch |
| 89:15 | | Moreover a human being is such that when his Lord disciplines him (by prosperity) and (thus) honours him and bestows favours on him, he says, `My Lord has honoured me. |
| 89:16 | | And when He disciplines him (with affliction) and (thus) straitens for him his (means of) subsistence, he says, `My Lord has (for no reason) disgraced me. |
| 89:17 | | Nay, (what you think is wrong,) but (the reason for this degradation is that) you (for your part) do not honour the orphan |
| 89:18 | | And you do not urge one another to feed the poor |
| 89:19 | | And you devour the heritage (of others) wholly and indiscriminately |
| 89:20 | | And you are exceedingly fond of wealth |
| 89:21 | | By no means (will it be so as you think). When the earth is completely crushed into pieces |
| 89:22 | | And when (the judgment of) your Lord comes (to pass), and the angels (descend also) ranged rank on rank (to execute His decree) |
| 89:23 | | On that Day Gehenna shall be brought near. (It is) on that very Day that a person will remember (the admonition), but of what avail shall that remembrance be to him (at that time) |
| 89:24 | | He will say, `O would that I had sent forward (some good deeds as a provision) for this my life here (on this side). |
| 89:25 | | So on that day none but He shall execute His punishment |
| 89:26 | | And no one but He shall bind like His binding |
| 89:27 | | (As for the person who has been blessed with a contented and peaceful mind He will say to him,) `O you soul at peace |
| 89:28 | | `Come back to your Lord well-pleased with Him and He well-pleased with you |
| 89:29 | | `Enter the fold of My chosen servants |
| 89:30 | | `And enter the Garden made by Me. |
