Chapter 93, 11 verses
I swear by the early hours of the day,
Waaldduha
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
And the night when it covers with darkness.
Waallayli itha saja
And by the night when it is stillest,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
