The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the midday brightness 1 and by the night when it covers the world with peace: 2 Your Lord has not forsaken you nor does He dislike you! 3 and the Hereafter will indeed be better for you than the present life; 4 Your Lord will soon grant you sufficient favors to please you. 5 Did He not find you as an orphan and give you shelter? 6 And He found you unaware (of the Quran, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) and guided you? 7 And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)? 8 Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness, 9 Therefor the beggar drive not away, 10 And keep recounting the favours of your Lord. 11
