| | Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri rendition of Surah The Dawn, Daybreak(al-Fajr)
--- |
|---|
| 89:1 | | By the emerging dawn (that dispels the darkness of night), |
| 89:2 | | And by the ten (blessed) nights, |
| 89:3 | | And by the even and the odd, |
| 89:4 | | And by the night as it departs. (Every night or particularly the night of Muzdalifa or the night of Qadr. |
| 89:5 | | Surely, in that is a mighty oath for the wise |
| 89:6 | | Have you not seen how your Lord treated (the people of ‘Ad) |
| 89:7 | | (They) were (the people) of Iram (and) were (tall like) lofty columns (possessing towering castles) |
| 89:8 | | The like of which has not (at all) been created in the countries (of the world) |
| 89:9 | | And (what treatment was given to) Thamud, who carved rocks (and constructed hundreds of cities) in the (Qura) valley |
| 89:10 | | And (how was) Pharaoh (dealt with), who wielded large armies (and used to punish victims with stakes) |
| 89:11 | | (They were) the people who perpetrated tyranny in their (respective) countries |
| 89:12 | | And spread great mischief and corruption there |
| 89:13 | | Then your Lord unleashed the scourge of punishment on them |
| 89:14 | | Indeed, your Lord is Ever-Watchful (over the tyrant transgressors) |
| 89:15 | | But as for man, when his Lord tests him (by providing him pleasure and comfort) and honours him and gives him bounties, he says: ‘My Lord has honoured me. |
| 89:16 | | But when He tries him (by afflicting him with pain and discomfort) and limits his means of sustenance, he says: ‘My Lord has humiliated me. |
| 89:17 | | No indeed! But (the truth is that after you gain honour and good fortune), you do not give honour and care to orphans |
| 89:18 | | Nor do you inspire one another (in society) to promote the feeding of the destitute (i.e., the poor and the needy) |
| 89:19 | | And you lay hand on the inherited wealth and devour it (yourselves and do not pay the poverty-stricken their due) |
| 89:20 | | And you love wealth and riches inordinately |
| 89:21 | | Assuredly, when the earth will be cleft asunder and crushed to dust particles |
| 89:22 | | And your Lord will unveil His Light and the angels will appear (before His presence) rank upon rank |
| 89:23 | | And that Day, Hell will be brought forth. On that Day man will come to understand, but how will admonition (avail him then) |
| 89:24 | | He will say: ‘Would that I had sent (something) ahead of me for my (real) life (which would have helped me Today)! |
| 89:25 | | But that Day no one will be able to torment like His torment |
| 89:26 | | And no one will be able to bind as He binds |
| 89:27 | | O contented (pleased) self |
| 89:28 | | Return to your Lord in such a state that you are both the aspirant to, and the aspired of, His pleasure (i.e., you seek His pleasure and He seeks yours) |
| 89:29 | | So join My (perfect) servants |
| 89:30 | | And enter My Paradise (of nearness and sight) |
