আদ দোহা (পূর্বাহ্ন)

1 By the Glorious Morning Light,

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the forenoon (after sunrise).

2 And by the Night when it is still, -

2 By the night when it darkens (and stand still).

3 Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.

3 Your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has neither forsaken you nor hates you.

4 And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.

4 And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).

5 And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.

5 And verily, your Lord will give you (all good) so that you shall be well-pleased.

6 Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?

6 Did He not find you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) an orphan and gave you a refuge?

7 And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.

7 And He found you unaware (of the Qur'an, its laws, and Prophethood) and guided you?

8 And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.

8 And He found you poor and made you rich (self-sufficient with self-contentment)?

9 Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,

9 Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression.

10 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);

10 And repulse not the beggar.

11 But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!

11 And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).
