Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the Glorious Morning Light,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the forenoon (after sunrise).
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
And by the Night when it is still, -
By the night when it darkens (and stand still).
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has neither forsaken you nor hates you.
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
And verily, your Lord will give you (all good) so that you shall be well-pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) an orphan and gave you a refuge?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And He found you unaware (of the Qur'an, its laws, and Prophethood) and guided you?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
And He found you poor and made you rich (self-sufficient with self-contentment)?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression.
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
And repulse not the beggar.
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
