Surah Al-Fajr in the Qaloun Recitation

وَالْفَجْرِ﴿1﴾

By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٖ﴿2﴾

And [by] ten nights

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ﴿3﴾

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

وَاليْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِۦ﴿4﴾

And [by] the night when it passes,

هَلْ فِے ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِے حِجْرٍۖ﴿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 اِ۬لْعِمَادِ﴿7﴾

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

اِ۬لتِے لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِے اِ۬لْبِلَٰدِ﴿8﴾

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

وَثَمُودَ اَ۬لذِينَ جَابُواْ اُ۬لصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ﴿9﴾

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

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِے اِ۬لْأَوْتَادِ﴿10﴾

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes?

اِ۬لذِينَ طَغَوْاْ فِے اِ۬لْبِلَٰدِ﴿11﴾

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

فَأَكْثَرُواْ فِيهَا اَ۬لْفَسَادَ﴿12﴾

And increased therein the corruption.

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍۖ﴿13﴾

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِۖ﴿14﴾

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

فَأَمَّا اَ۬لْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا اَ۪بْتَلَيٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ﴿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."

فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيَ أَكْرَمَنِۦۖ﴿16﴾

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."

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا اَ۪بْتَلَيٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ﴿17﴾

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

فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيَ أَهَٰنَنِۦ﴿18﴾

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

كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ اَ۬لْيَتِيمَ﴿19﴾

No! But you do not honor the orphan

وَلَا تَحُضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ اِ۬لْمِسْكِينِ﴿20﴾

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

وَتَأْكُلُونَ اَ۬لتُّرَاثَ أَكْلاٗ لَّمّاٗ﴿21﴾

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

وَتُحِبُّونَ اَ۬لْمَالَ حُبّاٗ جَمّاٗ﴿22﴾

And you love wealth with immense love.

كَلَّاۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ اِ۬لْأَرْضُ دَكّاٗ دَكّاٗ﴿23﴾

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

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفّاٗ صَفّاٗ﴿24﴾

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

وَجِےٓءَ يَوْمَئِذِۢ بِجَهَنَّمَ﴿25﴾

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?

يَوْمَئِذٖ يَتَذَكَّرُ اُ۬لْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ اُ۬لذِّكْرَىٰۖ﴿26﴾

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 يَٰلَيْتَنِے قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِےۖ﴿27﴾

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

فَيَوْمَئِذٖ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥ أَحَدٞ﴿28﴾

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

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥ أَحَدٞۖ﴿29﴾

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

يَٰأَيَّتُهَا اَ۬لنَّفْسُ اُ۬لْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ﴿30﴾

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

اُ۪رْجِعِے إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةٗ مَّرْضِيَّةٗ﴿31﴾

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

فَادْخُلِے فِے عِبَٰدِے وَادْخُلِے جَنَّتِےۖ﴿32﴾

And enter among My [righteous] servants And enter My Paradise."
