Chapter 93, 11 verses
I swear by the early hours of the day,
By the Glorious Morning Light,
Waaldduha
And the night when it covers with darkness.
And by the Night when it is still, -
Waallayli itha saja
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
