Juz 30 · Quarter 3

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلْفَجْرِ 1

By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ 2

And [by] ten nights

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ 3

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ 4

And [by] the night when it passes,

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ 5

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ 6

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ʿAad -

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ 7

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ 8

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

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ 9

And [with] Thamūd, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ 10

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes?

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ 11

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ 12

And increased therein the corruption.

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ 13

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ 14

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ 15

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."

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ 16

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

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ 17

No! But you do not honor the orphan

وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ 18

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

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا 19

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا 20

And you love wealth with immense love.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا 21

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

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا 22

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

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ 23

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but how [i.e., what good] to him will be the remembrance?

يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى 24

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

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ 25

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ 26

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].

يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ 27

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً 28

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى 29

And enter among My [righteous] servants

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى 30

And enter My Paradise."

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ 1

I swear by this city [i.e., Makkah] –

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ 2

And you, [O Muḥammad], are free of restriction in this city –

وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ 3

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ 4

We have certainly created man into hardship.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ 5

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا 6

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ 7

Does he think that no one has seen him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ 8

Have We not made for him two eyes?

وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ 9

And a tongue and two lips?

وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ 10

And have shown him the two ways?

فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ 11

But he has not broken through the difficult pass.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ 12

And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ 13

It is the freeing of a slave

أَوْ إِطْعَـٰمٌ فِى يَوْمٍ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍ 14

Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ 15

An orphan of near relationship

أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ 16

Or a needy person in misery

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ 17

And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ 18

Those are the companions of the right.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ 19

But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ 20

Over them will be fire closed in.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا 1

By the sun and its brightness

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا 2

And [by] the moon when it follows it

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا 3

And [by] the day when it displays it

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا 4

And [by] the night when it covers [i.e., conceals] it

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا 5

And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا 6

And [by] the earth and He who spread it

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا 7

And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا 8

And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا 9

He has succeeded who purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا 10

And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ 11

Thamūd denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا 12

When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَـٰهَا 13

And the messenger of Allāh [i.e., Ṣāliḥ] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allāh or [prevent her from] her drink."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا 14

But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَـٰهَا 15

And He does not fear the consequence thereof.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ 1

By the night when it covers

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ 2

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ 3

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ 4

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ 5

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ 6

And believes in the best [reward].

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ 7

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ 8

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ 9

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ 10

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ 11

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ 12

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ 13

And indeed, to us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ 14

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى 15

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ 16

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى 17

But the righteous one will avoid it –

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ 18

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ 19

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded –

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ 20

But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ 21

And he is going to be satisfied.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ 1

By the morning brightness

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ 2

And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ 3

Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muḥammad], nor has He detested [you].

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ 4

And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ 5

And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ 6

Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ 7

And He found you lost and guided [you],

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ 8

And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ 9

So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ 10

And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ 11

But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ 1

Did We not expand for you, [O Muḥammad], your breast?

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ 2

And We removed from you your burden

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ 3

Which had weighed upon your back

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ 4

And raised high for you your repute.

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا 5

For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease [i.e., relief].

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا 6

Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ 7

So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب 8

And to your Lord direct [your] longing.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيْتُونِ 1

By the fig and the olive

وَطُورِ سِينِينَ 2

And [by] Mount Sinai

وَهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ 3

And [by] this secure city [i.e., Makkah],

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ 4

We have certainly created man in the best of stature;

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَـٰهُ أَسْفَلَ سَـٰفِلِينَ 5

Then We return him to the lowest of the low,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ 6

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward uninterrupted.

فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِٱلدِّينِ 7

So what yet causes you to deny the Recompense?

أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ 8

Is not Allāh the most just of judges?

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ 1

Recite in the name of your Lord who created –

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ 2

Created man from a clinging substance.

ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ 3

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -

ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ 4

Who taught by the pen –

عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ 5

Taught man that which he knew not.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ 6

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ 7

Because he sees himself self-sufficient.

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ 8

Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ 9

Have you seen the one who forbids

عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ 10

A servant when he prays?

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ 11

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ 12

Or enjoins righteousness?

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ 13

Have you seen if he denies and turns away -

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ 14

Does he not know that Allāh sees?

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ 15

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock –

نَاصِيَةٍ كَـٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ 16

A lying, sinning forelock.

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ 17

Then let him call his associates;

سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ 18

We will call the angels of Hell.

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ 19

No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allāh].

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ 1

Indeed, We sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down during the Night of Decree.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ 2

And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ 3

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ 4

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.

سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ 5

Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
