Note 1


This is the 89th Surah of the Qur’an and it has 30 Short verses. The Qur’an brings Dawn to the Night of Ignorance.



Any society that is oblivious to the welfare of the deprived, will inevitably fail to flourish. Material advancement of a nation is no guarantee of its durability.



verses 1, 2 and 3 of this Surah are often grossly misinterpreted for failing to look at the Qur’an in its Big Picture.



With the Glorious Name of God, the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness



As it shines through the deep darkness of the night. So does the Qur’an bring light through the Darkness of Ignorance

See 7:142.

The Monotheist Group (The Quran: A Monotheist Translation)
89:2 And ten nights.
Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
89:2 and the ten nights!1

Note 1
The "daybreak" (fajr) apparently symbolizes man's spiritual awakening; hence, the "ten nights" is an allusion to the last third of the month of Ramadan, in the year 13 before the hijrah, during which Muhammad received his first revelation (see introductory note to surah 96) and was thus enabled to contribute to mankind's spiritual awakening.
Rashad Khalifa (The Final Testament)
89:2 And the ten nights.1 ,

Note 1
The last ten nights of Ramadan, wherein many believers retreat to the masjids ( 2:187).
Shabbir Ahmed (Quran As It Explains Itself)
89:2 And ten Nights.2

Note 2
Believers have noticed the benevolent transformation the Pilgrimage has undergone. From the first to the tenth of the month of Zilhijjah, they used to indulge in all kind of obscenity. They had departed from the way of Abraham, with Hajj consisting of whistling, clapping, circumambulating the Ka'bah in complete nudity. The sublime purpose of the Pilgrimage had been reduced to senseless rituals and abomination 2:125, 2:197

The Monotheist Group (The Quran: A Monotheist Translation)
89:3 And the even and the odd.
Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
89:3 Consider the multiple and the One!2

Note 2
Lit., "the even and the odd" or "the one": i.e., the multiplicity of creation as contrasted with the oneness and uniqueness of the Creator (Baghawi, on the authority of Sa'id ibn al-Khudri, as well as Tabari in one of his alternative interpretations of the above phrase). The concept of the "even number" implies the existence of more than one of the same kind: in other words, it signifies every thing that has a counterpart or counterparts and, hence, a definite relationship with other things (cf. the term azwaj in 36:36, referring to the polarity evident in all creation), As against this, the term al-watr - or, in the more common (Najdi) spelling, al-witr - primarily denotes "that which is single" or "one" and is, hence, one of the designations given to God - since "there is nothing that could be compared with Him" (112:4) and "nothing like unto Him" (42:11).
Rashad Khalifa (The Final Testament)
89:3 By the even and the odd.2 ,

Note 2

89:15 As for man, if his Lord tests him and grants him much, then he says: "My Lord has blessed me!"
The Monotheist Group (The Quran: A Monotheist Translation)
89:15 As for man, if his Lord tests him and grants him much, then he says: "My Lord has blessed me!"
Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
89:15 BUT AS FOR man,8 whenever his Sustainer tries him by His generosity and by letting him enjoy a life of ease, he says, "My Sustainer has been [justly] generous towards me";9

Note 8
The above phrase, introduced by the particle fa-amma ("But as for. . "), obviously connects with the reference to the "solemn evidence of the truth" in verse 5 - implying that man does not, as a rule, bethink himself of the hereafter, being concerned only with this world and what promises to be of immediate advantage to him (Zamakhshari, Razi, Baydawi).

Note 9
I.e., he regards God's bounty as something due to him (Razi).
Rashad Khalifa (The Final Testament)
89:15 When the human being is tested by his Lord, through blessings and joy, he says, "My Lord is generous towards me.",
Shabbir Ahmed (Quran As It Explains Itself)
89:15 As for man, whenever his Lord lets his life take a turn by giving him honor and bliss, he says, “My Lord has honored me.”9

The Monotheist Group (The Quran: A Monotheist Translation)
89:16 And if his Lord tests him and gives him little wealth, then he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"
Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
89:16 whereas, whenever He tries him by straitening his means of livelihood, he says, "My Sustainer has disgraced me!"10

Note 10
I.e., he regards the absence or loss of affluence not as a trial, but as an evidence of divine "injustice" - which, in its turn, may lead to a denial of God's existence.
Rashad Khalifa (The Final Testament)
89:16 But if He tests him through reduction in provisions, he says, "My Lord is humiliating me!",
Shabbir Ahmed (Quran As It Explains Itself)
89:16 But when He lets his life take a turn by restricting his provision, he says, “My Lord has disgraced me.”

Rashad Khalifa (The Final Testament)
89:17 Wrong! It is you who brought it on yourselves by not regarding the orphan.,
Shabbir Ahmed (Quran As It Explains Itself)
89:17 Nay, nay, you do not honor the orphan.10

Note 10
You forget to realize your acts of commission and omission. Yateem = Orphan = Widow = Left alone in the society = Helpless. A benevolent society makes room for the ‘Yateem’

89:18 And not advocating charity towards the poor.,
Shabbir Ahmed (Quran As It Explains Itself)
89:18 And you fail to encourage one another to feed the needy (and establish a benevolent society).11

Note 11
The term used for ‘feeding’ is highly inclusive. Here it indicates failing to establish the ideal society that takes care of all individuals. Miskeen = Poor = Needy = Whose life is stranded for any reason = Whose business has stalled = Who has lost his job = Whose life has been hampered by circumstances. Ta’aam = Feeding = Food = Provision = Basic needs of life. A benevolent society takes care of the basic needs of life. None would sleep hungry therein
