The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the morning hours 1 And by oath of the night when it covers, 2 Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you]. 3 And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before. 4 And indeed your Lord will soon give you so much that you will be pleased. (Allah seeks to please the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 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 found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency? 8 Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness, 9 and as for the beggar, scold him not; 10 And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it). 11
