The Dawn • 30 verses • Medinan
الفجر
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
Al-Fajr swears by the dawn and ten nights, then recalls how 'Ad of Iram, Thamud who carved the rocks, and Pharaoh of the stakes tyrannized the lands — and how your Lord poured on them a scourge of punishment. It rebukes those who fail to honor the orphan and feed the poor, and closes with the tenderest of calls: 'O reassured soul, return to your Lord well-pleased and pleasing' (89:27–30).
