Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the Glorious Morning Light,
I swear by the early hours of the day,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
And by the Night when it is still, -
And the night when it covers with darkness.
And by the night when it is stillest,
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
