The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I swear by the early hours of the day, 1 and the brooding night! 2 Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased. 3 for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]! 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 as an orphan and give you shelter? 6 And He found you lost and guided [you], 7 And He found thee in need, and made thee independent. 8 Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression, 9 and do not reject the beggars 10 and proclaim the bounties of your Lord. 11
