Sorah Al-Fajr ( The Dawn ) - Verses Number 30
وَالْفَجْرِ ( 1 ) 
By the break of Day
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ ( 2 )
By the Nights twice five;
وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ ( 3 )
By the even and odd (contrasted);
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ( 4 )
And by the Night when it passeth away;-
هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ ( 5 )
Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ( 6 )
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),-
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ ( 7 )
Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars,
الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ ( 8 )
The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ ( 9 )
And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?-
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ ( 10 )
And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?
الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ ( 11 )
(All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands,
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ ( 12 )
And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ( 13 )
Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ ( 14 )
For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower.
فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ ( 15 )
Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ ( 16 )
But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ ( 17 )
Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans!
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ ( 18 )
Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!-
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا ( 19 )
And ye devour inheritance - all with greed,
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا ( 20 )
And ye love wealth with inordinate love!
كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا ( 21 )
Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,
وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا ( 22 )
And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,
وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ ( 23 )
And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي ( 24 )
He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!"
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ ( 25 )
For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict,
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ ( 26 )
And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind.
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ( 27 )
(To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction!
ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً ( 28 )
"Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him!
فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي ( 29 )
"Enter thou, then, among My devotees!
وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي ( 30 )
"Yea, enter thou My Heaven!

- The Message of the MessengersDr. Saleh As-Saleh shows in his introduction to this book that Allah could not have created this universe without a purpose. He is All-Wise, All- Knowledgeable, All-Merciful and All-Just. All of these attributes entail providing ways of guidance that would lead to the proper knowledge of Him, and thus the right way to worship Him. Allah sent his messengers to direct man to relate to His Creator through complete submission and obedience (this is the meaning of Islam). He needs to know what benefits him and what harms him. The Message from Allah comprehends everything. It brings man to live for a noble purpose. All forms of worship are explained in the Qur'an and by the Prophet. Worship is not left for our limited minds to decide upon their ways.
