The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I CALL TO witness the early hours of morning, 1 And by the Night when it is still,- 2 Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you]. 3 And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former, 4 And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased. 5 Did He not find you an orphan, so provided you shelter? 6 And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance. 7 And found you in need, so made you prosperous? 8 Therefore do not oppress the orphan. 9 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); 10 And keep recounting the favours of your Lord. 11
