Chapter 93, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
By the Glorious Morning Light,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
And by the night when it is stillest,
And by the Night when it is still, -
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
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.
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
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.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
