Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the Glorious Morning Light,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
And by the Night when it is still, -
And by the night when it is stillest,
والليل إذا سجى
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
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,
وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
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.
ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
ووجدك ضالا فهدى
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
وأما السائل فلا تنهر
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
