Al-Fajrسُوۡرَةُ الفَجر
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
﴾.﴿
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent and the most Merciful.
هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ
﴾۵﴿
کیا ان قسموں میں اہلِ عقل کےلیے (کوئی اہمیت) نہیں؟ (یقینًا ہے، تو پھر سن لو کہ مخالفینِ رسول ضرور تباہ و برباد ہوں گے)
Is there nothing in these oaths (of any importance) for the wise? (Indeed, there is, then, Be heard! The disbelievers who deny the Holy Prophet ﷺ will be ruined soon),
أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
﴾۶﴿
(O Prophet!) Did you not see how your Lord dealt with (the nation of) Ad?
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ
﴾۷﴿
(Who were the dwellers) of Erum and possessors of (lofty) pillars,
ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
﴾۸﴿
(meaning those) The like of which were not created in the (worldly) lands,
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ
﴾۹﴿
And (O Prophet! Did you not see the nation of) Thamud, who hewed rocks in the valley?
وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ
﴾۱۰﴿
And (O Prophet! Did you not see) Pharaoh, who had pegs,
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
﴾۱۱﴿
Who did transgress beyond bounds in the cities,
فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ
﴾۱۲﴿
And made therein much mischief,
فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ
﴾۱۳﴿
So your Lord let loose on them the whip of torment,
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ
﴾۱۴﴿
Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them),
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ
﴾۱۵﴿
تو (اے رسول) انسان (کی بھی عجیب حالت ہے کہ) جب اس کا ربّ اسے آزماتا ہے، عزّت بخشتا ہے اور نعمت سے سرفراز فرماتا ہے تو کہتا ہے میرے ربّ نے مجھے عزّت بخشی
(O Prophet!) And as for (the strange state of) man, when his Lord tests him by giving him honour and bounties, then he says: “My Lord has honoured me.”
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
﴾۱۶﴿
But when He tests him, by restricting his sustenance, he says: “My Lord has humiliated me”
كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ
﴾۱۷﴿
Nay! (Allah does not do this without reason) But (He does so when) you do not treat the orphans respectfully,
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ
﴾۱۸﴿
And do not urge on the feeding of the needy
وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلٗا لَّمّٗا
﴾۱۹﴿
And you devour inheritance all with greed (illegally),
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبّٗا جَمّٗا
﴾۲۰﴿
And you love wealth with much love,
كَـلَّآ ۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكّٗا دَكّٗا
﴾۲۱﴿
(قیامت کے متعلّق کافروں کا خیال) ہرگز (صحیح) نہیں (وہ آئے گی اور ضرور آئے گی) جب زمین ہموار کر دی جائے گی
(The disbelievers are delusional about the occurrence of the Last day ) Nay! (It will occur definitely) When the earth is (completely crushed and) flattened,
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفّٗا صَفّٗا
﴾۲۲﴿
And your Lord comes along with the angels, lined up in rows,
وَجِاْيٓءَ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ
﴾۲۳﴿
اس دن جہنّم کو بھی لایا جائے گا تو اس دن انسان نصیحت حاصل کرے گا لیکن اس دن نصیحت کہاں (فائدہ دے گی)
And Hell will be brought (near) that Day. Man will take heed on that Day, but what ( good ) will remembrance be on that day for him?
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِي
﴾۲۴﴿
He will say: “Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life!”
فَيَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٞ
﴾۲۵﴿
So on that Day, (Allah will punish them as) none will punish (such) as He will punish,
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٞ
﴾۲۶﴿
And none will bind as He will bind.
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفۡسُ ٱلۡمُطۡمَئِنَّةُ
﴾۲۷﴿
(It will be said to the fortunate soul): “O (you) the tranquil soul!”
ٱرۡجِعِيٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةٗ مَّرۡضِيَّةٗ
﴾۲۸﴿
“Return to your Lord, Well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing unto Him!,
فَٱدۡخُلِي فِي عِبَٰدِي
﴾۲۹﴿
“Enter you, then, among My (honourable) slaves,
