The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the bright forenoon, 1 And the night when dark and still, 2 Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased. 3 And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former, 4 And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased. 5 Did He not find thee an orphan, and shelter thee? 6 Did He not find you unaware of the Right Way, and then directed you to it? 7 And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)? 8 Therefore, be not harsh with the orphan; 9 And repulse not the beggar; 10 Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse. 11
