The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the bright morning hours, 1 And by the night when it is still (or darkens); 2 (Muhammad), your Lord has not abandoned you (by not sending you His revelation), nor is He displeased with you. 3 Indeed what is to come will be better for you than what has gone by. 4 And indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires,] and thou shalt be well-pleased. 5 Found He not thee an orphan, so He sheltered thee? 6 Did He not find you a wanderer so He guided you? 7 And He found thee in need, and made thee independent. 8 Therefore, be not harsh with the orphan; 9 And do not drive the beggar away, 10 but proclaim the blessings of your Lord. 11
