The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I swear by the early hours of the day, 1 and the night when it grows still and dark. 2 Thy Lord has neither forsaken thee nor hates thee 3 And the Hereafter is indeed better unto thee than the life present. 4 And indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires,] and thou shalt be well-pleased. 5 Has He not found thee an orphan, and given thee shelter? 6 And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance. 7 And find you in want and make you to be free from want? 8 Therefore do not treat the orphan with harshness, 9 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); 10 but proclaim the blessings of your Lord. 11
