ترجمة معاني سورة الفجر باللغة الإنجليزية من كتاب Abul Ala Maududi(With tafsir) - English translation.

Al-Fajr


(89:1) By the dawn,

(89:2) and the ten nights,

(89:3) and the even and the odd,

(89:4) and by the night when it departs.

(89:5) Is there in this an oath for one endowed with understanding?1

(89:6) Have you2 not seen how your Lord dealt with Ad

(89:7) of Iram,3 known for their lofty columns,

(89:8) the like of whom no nation was ever created in the lands of the world?4

(89:9) And how did He deal with Thamud who hewed out rocks in the valley?5

(89:10) And with Pharaoh of the tent pegs6

(89:11) who transgressed in the countries of the world

(89:12) spreading in them much corruption?

(89:13) Then their Lord unloosed upon them the lash of chastisement.

(89:14) Truly your Lord is ever watchful.7

(89:15) As for man,8 when his Lord tests him by exalting him and
bestowing His bounties upon him, he says: “My Lord has exalted me.”

(89:16) But when He tests him by straitening his sustenance, he says: “My
Lord has humiliated me.”9

(89:17) But no;0 you do not treat the orphan honourably,1

(89:18) and do not urge one another to feed the poor,2

(89:19) and greedily devour the entire inheritance,3

(89:20) and love the riches, loving them ardently.4

(89:21) But no;5 when the earth is ground to powder,

(89:22) and when your Lord appears6 with rows upon rows of angels,

(89:23) and when Hell is brought near that Day. On that Day will man understand,
but of what avail will that understanding be?7

(89:24) He will say: “Would that I had sent ahead what would be of avail
for this life of mine!”

(89:25) Then on that Day Allah will chastise as none other can chastise;

(89:26) and Allah will bind as none other can bind.

(89:27) (On the other hand it will be said): “O serene soul!8

(89:28) Return to your Lord9 well-pleased (with your blissful
destination), well-pleasing (to your Lord).

(89:29) So enter among My (righteous) servants

(89:30) and enter My Paradise.”

* سورة (الفجر):

سُمِّيت سورة (الفجر) بهذا الاسم؛ لافتتاحها بقَسَمِ الله عز وجل بـ(الفجر)؛ قال تعالى: {وَاْلْفَجْرِ} [الفجر: 1].

1. في التاريخ عِبْرة وعِظة (١-١٤).

2. أهل الشقاء وأهل السعادة (١٥- ٣٠).

مقصدُ السورة هو إنذارُ قُرَيش بعذاب الآخرة عن طريقِ ضربِ المثَلِ في إعراضهم عن قَبول رسالة ربهم بمثَلِ عادٍ وثمودَ وقومِ فرعون، وما أوقَعَ اللهُ بهم من عذاب، وفي ذلك تثبيتُ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على هذه الدعوة.
