The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the forenoon (after sun-rise); 1 And by the Night when it is still,- 2 (Muhammad), your Lord has not abandoned you (by not sending you His revelation), nor is He displeased with you. 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 Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)? 6 Did He not find you unaware of the Right Way, and then directed you to it? 7 Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee)? 8 Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness, 9 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); 10 But tell of the favors of your Lord! 11
