The Morning Hours
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
وَالضُّحٰىۙ
By the morning brightness
وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا سَجٰىۙ
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,1
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلٰىؕ
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muḥammad], nor has He detested [you].
وَلَـلۡاٰخِرَةُ خَيۡرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الۡاُوۡلٰىؕ
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيۡكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضٰىؕ
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
اَلَمۡ يَجِدۡكَ يَتِيۡمًا فَاٰوٰى
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآ لًّا فَهَدٰى
And He found you lost and guided [you],
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآٮِٕلًا فَاَغۡنٰىؕ
And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.
فَاَمَّا الۡيَتِيۡمَ فَلَا تَقۡهَرۡؕ
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
وَاَمَّا السَّآٮِٕلَ فَلَا تَنۡهَرۡؕ
And as for the petitioner,1 do not repel [him].
وَاَمَّا بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثۡ
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
