The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the white forenoon 1 and the night when it grows still and dark. 2 Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee, 3 And indeed the latter is better for you than the former. 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 Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee)? 6 Did He not find you wandering, and give you guidance? 7 And did He not find you in want, and then enriched you? 8 Therefore do not treat the orphan with harshness, 9 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); 10 And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it). 11
