1 The Daybreak

وَالْفَجْرِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and the ten nights,

Walayalin AAashrin

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and the even and the odd,

WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and the night when it passes!

Waallayli itha yasri

هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Is all this ˹not˺ a sufficient oath for those who have sense?

Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Did you not see how your Lord dealt with ’Ȃd—

Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

˹the people˺ of Iram—with ˹their˺ great stature,

Irama thati alAAimadi

الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

unmatched in any other land;

Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and Thamûd who carved ˹their homes into˺ the rocks in the ˹Stone˺ Valley;

Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and the Pharaoh of mighty structures?

WafirAAawna thee al-awtadi

الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

They all transgressed throughout the land,

Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

spreading much corruption there.

Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

So your Lord unleashed on them a scourge of punishment.

Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

˹For˺ your Lord is truly vigilant.

Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Now, whenever a human being is tested by their Lord through ˹His˺ generosity and blessings, they boast, “My Lord has ˹deservedly˺ honoured me!”

Faamma al-insanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

But when He tests them by limiting their provision, they protest, “My Lord has ˹undeservedly˺ humiliated me!”

Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Absolutely not! In fact, you are not ˹even˺ gracious to the orphan,

Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

nor do you urge one another to feed the poor.

Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

And you devour ˹others’˺ inheritance greedily,

Wata/kuloona altturatha aklan lamman

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and love wealth fervently.

Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Enough! When the earth is entirely crushed over and over,

Kalla itha dukkati al-ardu dakkan dakkan

وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and your Lord comes ˹to judge˺ with angels, rank upon rank,

Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and Hell is brought forth on that Day—this is when every ˹disbelieving˺ person will remember ˹their own sins˺. But what is the use of remembering then?

Wajee-a yawma-ithin bijahannama yawma-ithin yatathakkaru al-insanu waanna lahu alththikra

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي

Mustafa Khattab 2018

They will cry, “I wish I had sent forth ˹something good˺ for my ˹true˺ life.”

Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

On that Day He will punish ˹them˺ severely, like no other,

Fayawma-ithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and bind ˹them˺ tightly, like no other.

Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ

Mustafa Khattab 2018

˹Allah will say to the righteous,˺ “O tranquil soul!

Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutma-innatu

ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً

Mustafa Khattab 2018

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

IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي

Mustafa Khattab 2018

So join My servants,

Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and enter My Paradise.”

Waodkhulee jannatee
