# Translation Ayah
1 By oath of the (particular) dawn. وَالْفَجْرِ
2 And by oath of ten nights. وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
3 And by oath of the even and the odd. وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
4 And by oath of the night when it recedes وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
5 Why is there an oath in this, for the intelligent? هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
6 Did you not see how did your Lord deal with (the tribe of) Aad? أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
7 (And) the tall giants of Iram? إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
8 Like whom no one else was born in the cities. الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
9 And the tribe of Thamud, who hewed rocks in the valley. وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
10 And with Firaun, who used to crucify. وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
11 Those who rebelled in the cities, الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
12 And who then spread a lot of turmoil in them. فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
13 Therefore your Lord struck them hard with the means of punishment. فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
14 Indeed nothing is hidden from the sight of your Lord. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
15 So man, whenever his Lord tests him by giving him honour and favours – thereupon he says, “My Lord has honoured me.” فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
16 And if He tests him and restricts his livelihood – thereupon he says, “My Lord has degraded me!” وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
17 Not at all – but rather you do not honour the orphan. كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
18 And do not urge one another to feed the needy. وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
19 And you readily devour the inheritance with greed. وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
20 And you harbour intense love for wealth. وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
21 Most certainly – when the earth is smashed and blown to bits. كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
22 And when the command of your Lord comes – and the angels row by row, وَجَاء رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
23 And when hell is brought that day – on that day will man reflect, but where is the time now to think? وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى
24 He will say, “Alas – if only I had sent some good deeds ahead, during my lifetime!” يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
25 So on that day, no one punishes like He does! فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
26 And no one binds like He does! وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
27 O the contented soul! يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
28 Return towards your Lord – you being pleased with Him, and He pleased with you! ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
29 Then enter the ranks of My chosen bondmen! فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي
30 And come into My Paradise! وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
