Al-Fajr

By the dawn

And [by] ten nights

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

And [by] the night when it passes

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars

The likes of whom had never been created in the land

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

And increased therein the corruption

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment

Indeed, your Lord is in observation

And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me

No! But you do not honor the orphan

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether

And you love wealth with immense love

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers]

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him]

And enter among My [righteous] servants

And enter My Paradise
