The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the bright morning hours, 1 And by oath of the night when it covers, 2 Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you]. 3 Indeed what is to come will be better for you than what has gone by. 4 And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased. 5 Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge? 6 And He found you unaware (of the Quran, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) and guided you? 7 And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency? 8 Therefore do not treat the orphan with harshness, 9 And as for him who asks, do not chide (him), 10 But tell of the favors of your Lord! 11
