Chapter 93, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
By the Glorious Morning Light,
Waaldduha
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
And by the night when it is stillest,
And by the Night when it is still, -
Waallayli itha saja
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
