Chapter 93, 11 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the forenoon (after sunrise).
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
By the night when it darkens (and stand still).
والليل إذا سجى
And by the night when it is stillest,
Your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has neither forsaken you nor hates you.
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).
وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
And verily, your Lord will give you (all good) so that you shall be well-pleased.
ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
Did He not find you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) an orphan and gave you a refuge?
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
And He found you unaware (of the Qur'an, its laws, and Prophethood) and guided you?
ووجدك ضالا فهدى
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
And He found you poor and made you rich (self-sufficient with self-contentment)?
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression.
فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
And repulse not the beggar.
وأما السائل فلا تنهر
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).
وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
