The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I swear by the early hours of the day, 1 And by the night when it is stillest, 2 (Muhammad), your Lord has not abandoned you (by not sending you His revelation), nor is He displeased with you. 3 What is to come is better for you than what 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 shelter thee? 6 And He found you unaware (of the Quran, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) 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 as for thy Lord's blessing, declare it. 11
