English - Chapter 89 - Al-Fajr

I swear by the dawn

and by Ten Nights

and by the even and the odd

and by the night when it moves away

Is there (not) in such an oath (enough assurance) for a man of sense

Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with (the people) of ‘Ad

of Iram , the men of tall pillars

the like of whom were never created in the lands

and (how He dealt) with (the people of) Thamud who had carved out the rocks in the Valley (of Qura)

and with Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), the man of the stakes

those who had rebelled in the cities

and spread a lot of mischief therein

Surely your Lord is ever on the watch

As for man, when his Lord tests him, and thus gives him honour and bounties, he says, .My Lord has honoured me

But when he tests him, and thus straitens his provision for him, he says, .My Lord has disgraced me

No! But you do not honour the orphan

and do not encourage one another to feed the needy

And you devour the inheritance with a sweeping gulp

and love wealth, an excessive love

No! When the earth will be crushed thoroughly to be turned into bits

and your Lord will come, and the angels as well, lined up in rows

and Jahannam (Hell), on that day, will be brought forward, it will be the day when man will realize the truth, but from where will he take advantage of such realization

He will say, .O Would that I had sent ahead (some good deeds) for (this) my life

So no one can punish like He will punish, that day

nor can anyone shackle like He will shackle

(As for an obedient man, it will be said to him,) .O content soul

come back to your Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing

So, enter among My (special) servants

and enter My Paradise
