# Translation Ayah
1 By the Dawn, وَالْفَجْرِ
2 by the ten nights, وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
3 by the Even and the Odd, وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
4 by the night when it departs! وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
5 Is there an oath in that for one possessing intellect? هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
6 Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt with [the people of] ‘Ad, أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
7 [and] Iram, [the city] of the pillars, إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
8 the like of which was not created among cities, الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
9 and [the people of] Thamud, who hollowed out the rocks in the valley, وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
10 and Pharaoh, the impaler وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
11 —those who rebelled [against Allah] in their cities الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
12 and caused much corruption in them, فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
13 so your Lord poured on them lashes of punishment. فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
14 Indeed your Lord is in ambush. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
15 As for man, whenever his Lord tests him, and grants him honour, and blesses him, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me.’ فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
16 But when He tests him and tightens for him his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.’ وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
17 No indeed! No, you do not honour the orphan, كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
18 and do not urge the feeding of the needy. وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
19 You eat the inheritance rapaciously, وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
20 and love wealth with much fondness. وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
21 No indeed! When the earth is levelled to a plain, كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
22 and your Lord [’s edict] arrives with the angels in ranks, وَجَاء رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
23 the day when hell is brought [near], man will take admonition on that day, but what will that admonition avail him? وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى
24 He will say, ‘Alas, had I sent ahead for my life [in the Hereafter]!’ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
25 On that day none shall punish as He punishes, فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
26 and none shall bind as He binds. وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
27 ‘O soul at peace! يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
28 Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing! ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
29 Then enter among My servants, فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي
30 and enter My paradise!’ وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
