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!

- A Program of Studies for New MuslimsTo act correctly, a Muslim must first acquire authentic knowledge, change his mode of thought and improve his practical ability. These changes must result from the Muslims' own decisions and efforts if they are to be educationally enduring, religiously sound, socially important and physically permanent. It is with this aim and intention that the Islamic Teaching Center has prepared "A Program of Studies for New Muslims" It is an attempt to enable the New Muslim to respond to his environment in North America equipped with an Islamic framework reflecting his beliefs, values, attitudes and behavior which characterize him as a new breed of men enjoining right, eradicating evil, forbidding wrong and believing in Allah.

- Fundamental Shi'ite BeliefsAn important book shows the corrupt belief of Shi’ites. The author said in the introduction, “I wrote this book for a number of reasons including: (1) The increased efforts of the Shi’ites to spread their ideology in the Muslim world. (2) The danger of this deviant sect poses on Islam. (3) The ignorance of many Muslims about the danger of this deviant sect. (4) The corrupt Aqeedah (belief system) of the Shi’ites, which includes polytheism, defamation of the Quran and defamation of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with them all. (5) Their extreme beliefs in relation to their imams."

- The Miraculous QuranThe first and second articles are an introduction for the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and make comparison between the Quran’s content and the orientalists’ sayings about it. The third explains that in order for a religion to be true, it must be from God in a total sense and not only in its origin then the scholars distort it. The fourth and fifth mention one of the unique qualities of the Quran which is its detailed preservation, a fact which makes it much different than all other religions, confirm that the Quran itself contains proofs for its truth and requires no “leap of faith” in order to believe it, and take a look at the accusation that Muhammad borrowed or stole the Quran from other religions, particularly the Christianity and the Judaism. The sixth and seventh mention the depictions of God and the Prophets in the Quran vs. the Bible and the Talmud and explain the comprehensiveness, completeness, balance and practicality of the legislation of the Quran. The eighth shows the Quran's effect on the generation of the Prophet and the next generations to the extent that it made them leaders of the world to guide people to the straight path. The ninth mentions a unique prophecy which dealt with events completely out of the control of the Prophet or the Arabs that the Byzantine kingdom will defeat the Persian Kingdom within three to nine years. The tenth takes a look at some of the scientific facts mentioned in the Quran which modern scientists, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, affirm as true. Finally, the eleventh shows the linguistic miracle of the Quran and refers that Allah challenged the disbelievers of Makkah to compile a book like the Quran but they failed. The challenge got into very simple standard i.e. to compile a Surah (Chapter) looks like any of its Surahs but they also failed.
