Meaning: The Dawn
Total Ayahs: 30
Place of Revelation: Mecca
Surah Al-Fajr begins with oaths by the dawn, nights of peace, and full moons, stressing life’s cycles. It recalls doomed nations (Ad, Thamud, Pharaoh) to warn against arrogance and oppression, especially toward the vulnerable. Then it contrasts the doomed lamenting on Judgment Day with the serene joy of the believing soul invited into Paradise.
Worldly pride and injustice bring divine retribution. True success lies in humility, kindness to the needy, and faith—revealed in the guidance offered at dawn.
Recitation brings forgiveness, light on the Day of Judgment, increased provision, and protection, especially when recited consistently—for ten nights or daily—backed by virtue narratives.
89:7–14 warn against arrogance and injustice; 89:27–30 envision the tranquil soul entering Paradise.
Tend to the needy, remain humble, welcome the dawn with humility and prayer, and prepare for the meeting with your Lord.
