The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
CONSIDER the bright morning hours, 1 and the night when it grows still and dark. 2 Your Lord has neither left you, nor despises you. 3 for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]! 4 And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall 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 you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)? 8 Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him). 9 And do not rebuke the beggar. 10 And as to the favour of thine Lord, discourse thou thereof. 11
