89: al fajr-the dawn

30 VERSES MAKKAN REVELATION

Destruction of disbelieving people of Iram of the pillars and Mada’in Saleh. There is condemnation for those who love wealth and look with disdain upon the poor and orphans

Righteous people are promised paradise

Various oaths by natural objects

Unbelievers warned by the fate of Ad Thamud and pharoah

Man praises Allah SWT in prosperity but reproaches him in adversity

Oppression of the poor and the orphan denounced

The wicked will vainly regret their evil deeds on the judgement day

The believing soul invited to the joys of paradise

This surah Al Fajr forms a pair with the next one Surah Balad. The central theme of both the surahs is to reprimand the leaders of Qureysh for the rebellious attitude and arrogant behaviour they have adopted with regard to Allah SWT and their fellow human beings after being bestowed with favour and riches
