The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I CALL TO witness the early hours of morning, 1 and by the night when it darkens, 2 Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee, 3 for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]! 4 And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased. 5 Did He not find you an orphan, so provided you shelter? 6 And He found you lost and guided [you], 7 And find you in want and make you to be free from want? 8 Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression, 9 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); 10 and proclaim the bounties of your Lord. 11
