Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the morning brightness
By the Glorious Morning Light,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
Waaldduha
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
And by the Night when it is still, -
And by the night when it is stillest,
Waallayli itha saja
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
And He found you lost and guided [you],
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
