The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the bright forenoon, 1 And [by] the night when it covers with darkness, 2 your Lord has not forsaken you (Prophet Muhammad), nor does He hate you. 3 for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]! 4 Thy Lord shall give thee, and thou shalt be satisfied. 5 Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter? 6 And found thee lost on thy way, and guided thee? 7 And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)? 8 Therefore do not treat the orphan with harshness, 9 And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him]. 10 And as to the favour of thine Lord, discourse thou thereof. 11
