Chapter 93, 11 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the forenoon (after sunrise).
I swear by the early hours of the day,
Waaldduha
By the night when it darkens (and stand still).
And the night when it covers with darkness.
Waallayli itha saja
Your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has neither forsaken you nor hates you.
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And verily, your Lord will give you (all good) so that you shall be well-pleased.
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
Did He not find you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) an orphan and gave you a refuge?
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
And He found you unaware (of the Qur'an, its laws, and Prophethood) and guided you?
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
And He found you poor and made you rich (self-sufficient with self-contentment)?
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression.
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
And repulse not the beggar.
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
