The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
CONSIDER the bright morning hours, 1 and by the night when it covers the world with peace: 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 Verily your Lord will soon give you so amply that you will be well-pleased. 5 Did He not find you an orphan and then gave you shelter? 6 And He found you unaware (of the Quran, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) and guided you? 7 And He found thee destitute, so He enriched thee. 8 Therefore do not treat the orphan with harshness, 9 and as for the beggar, scold him not; 10 and proclaim the bounties of your Lord. 11
