The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the midday brightness 1 and the night when it grows still and dark. 2 Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased. 3 And the Hereafter is indeed better unto thee than the life present. 4 And indeed your Lord will soon give you so much that you will be pleased. (Allah seeks to please the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 5 Found He not thee an orphan, so He sheltered thee? 6 And found you deeply engrossed in His love, so directed you? 7 Did He not find thee needy, and suffice thee? 8 Do not oppress the orphan, 9 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); 10 And keep recounting the favours of your Lord. 11
