Chapter 93, 11 verses
Waaldduha
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
By the Glorious Morning Light,
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
Waallayli itha saja
And by the night when it is stillest,
And by the Night when it is still, -
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
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
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
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.
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
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 فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
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 فَـَٔاوَىٰ
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
