Chapter 93, 11 verses
I swear by the early hours of the day,
By the morning brightness
Waaldduha
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
And the night when it covers with darkness.
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
Waallayli itha saja
And by the night when it is stillest,
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.

Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?

And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.

Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
