Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the Glorious Morning Light,
I swear by the early hours of the day,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
And by the Night when it is still, -
And the night when it covers with darkness.
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
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.
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
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.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
