The Forenoon (Al-Duhaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the early hours of morning, 1 and the night when it grows still and dark. 2 your Lord has not forsaken you, nor is He displeased with you, 3 And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before. 4 And indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires,] and thou shalt be well-pleased. 5 Did He not find thee an orphan, and shelter thee? 6 Did He not find thee erring, and guide thee? 7 And He found thee in need, and made thee independent. 8 As for the orphan, do not oppress him, 9 And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him]. 10 But tell of the favors of your Lord! 11
