The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I CALL TO witness the early hours of morning, 1 and by the night when it darkens, 2 Your Lord has neither left you, nor despises you. 3 Indeed what is to come will be better for you than what has gone by. 4 And presently thy Lord shall give unto thee so that thou shalt be well-pleased. 5 Did He not find you an orphan and then gave you shelter? 6 Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee)? 7 And He found thee in need, and made thee independent. 8 Therefore do not treat the orphan with harshness, 9 and chide not him who asks, 10 Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse. 11
