The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the early hours of morning, 1 And by oath of the night when it covers, 2 Your Lord has not forsaken you nor does He dislike you! 3 And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life]. 4 And indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires,] and thou shalt be well-pleased. 5 Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)? 6 And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)? 7 And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient. 8 Therefore, the orphan shalt thou never wrong, 9 And do not drive the beggar away, 10 but proclaim the blessings of your Lord. 11
