Section 1 [Fajr
89:1] By oath of the (particular) dawn. [Fajr
89:2] And by oath of ten nights. [Fajr
89:3] And by oath of the even and the odd. [Fajr
89:4] And by oath of the night when it recedes [Fajr
89:5] Why is there an oath in this, for the intelligent? [Fajr
89:6] Did you not see how did your Lord deal with (the tribe of) Aad? [Fajr
89:7] The tall giants of Iram? [Fajr
89:8] Like whom no one else was born in the cities. [Fajr
89:9] And the tribe of Thamud, who hewed rocks in the valley. [Fajr
89:10] And with Firaun, who used to crucify. [Fajr
89:11] Those who rebelled in the cities, [Fajr
89:12] And who then spread a lot of turmoil in them. [Fajr
89:13] Therefore your Lord struck them hard with the means of punishment. [Fajr
89:14] Indeed nothing is hidden from the sight of your Lord. [Fajr
89:15] So man, whenever his Lord tests him by giving him honour and favours –
thereupon he says, “My Lord has honoured me.” [Fajr
89:16] And if He tests him and restricts his livelihood – thereupon he
says, “My Lord has degraded me!” [Fajr
89:17] Not at all – but rather you do not honour the orphan. [Fajr
89:18] And do not urge one another to feed the needy. [Fajr
89:19] And you readily devour the inheritance with greed. [Fajr
89:20] And you harbour intense love for wealth. [Fajr
89:21] Most certainly - when the earth is smashed and blown to bits. [Fajr
89:22] And when the command of your Lord comes – and the angels row by
row, [Fajr
89:23] And when hell is brought that day – on that day will man reflect,
but where is the time now to think? [Fajr
89:24] He will say, “Alas – if only I had sent some good deeds
ahead, during my lifetime!” [Fajr
89:25] So on that day, no one punishes like He does! [Fajr
89:26] And no one binds like He does! [Fajr
89:27] O the contented soul! [Fajr
89:28] Return towards your Lord – you being pleased with Him, and He
pleased with you! [Fajr
89:29] Then enter the ranks of My chosen bondmen! [Fajr
89:30] And come into My Paradise! |
