The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
CONSIDER the bright morning hours, 1 and the brooding night! 2 Thy Sustainer has not forsaken thee, nor does He scorn 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 thee an orphan, and shelter thee? 6 And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)? 7 And find you in want and make you to be free from want? 8 Therefore do not treat the orphan with harshness, 9 Therefor the beggar drive not away, 10 But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim! 11
