Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the Glorious Morning Light,
By the morning brightness
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the forenoon (after sunrise).
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
And by the Night when it is still, -
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
By the night when it darkens (and stand still).
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
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 the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
And verily, your Lord will give you (all good) so that you shall be well-pleased.
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] refuge?
Did He not find you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) an orphan and gave you a refuge?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And He found you lost and guided [you],
And He found you unaware (of the Qur'an, its laws, and Prophethood) and guided you?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.
And He found you poor and made you rich (self-sufficient with self-contentment)?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression.
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].
And repulse not the beggar.
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
