By the dawn

And ˹by˺ ten nights

And ˹by˺ the even ˹number˺ and the odd

And ˹by˺ the night when it passes,

Is there ˹not˺ in ˹all˺ that an oath ˹sufficient˺ for one of perception?

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -

˹With˺ Iram - who had lofty pillars,

The likes of whom had never been created in the land?

And ˹with˺ Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

And ˹with˺ Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -

˹All of˺ whom oppressed within the lands

And increased therein the corruption.

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

وَالْفَجْرِ

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ

هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ

الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ

الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ

فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ

And as for man, when his Lord tries him and ˹thus˺ is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."

No! But you do not honor the orphan

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.

And you consume inheritance, devouring ˹it˺ altogether,

And you love wealth with immense love.

فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ

كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

And brought ˹within view˺, that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead ˹some good˺ for my life."

So on that Day, none will punish ˹as severely˺ as His punishment,

˹To the righteous it will be said˺, "O reassured soul,

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing ˹to Him˺,

And enter among My ˹righteous˺ servants

And enter My Paradise."

كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا

وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

يَقُولُيَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ

يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ

ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً

فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي

وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
