The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the white forenoon 1 and the brooding night! 2 Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee, 3 And indeed the latter is better for you than the former. 4 And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content. 5 Did He not find you orphaned and shelter you? 6 And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance. 7 And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)? 8 So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him]. 9 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); 10 And keep recounting the favours of your Lord. 11
