আল দ্বোহা (পূর্বাহ্ন / দুপুরের আগে)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours

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 stillest,

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

3 Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,

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

4 And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,

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

5 And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.

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 protect (thee) ?

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

7 Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?

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

8 Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?

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

9 Therefor the orphan oppress not,

9 Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression.

10 Therefor the beggar drive not away,

10 And repulse not the beggar.

11 Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.

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