Ad-Duhaa


وَالضُّحَىٰ ﴿1﴾

By the morning sunlight,


وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ﴿2﴾

and the night when it falls still!


مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ﴿3﴾

Your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ has not abandoned you, nor has He become hateful ˹of you˺.


وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ ﴿4﴾

And the next life is certainly far better for you than this one.


وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ ﴿5﴾

And ˹surely˺ your Lord will give so much to you that you will be pleased.


أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ ﴿6﴾

Did He not find you as an orphan then sheltered you?


وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ ﴿7﴾

Did He not find you unguided then guided you?


وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ ﴿8﴾

And did He not find you needy then satisfied your needs?


فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ﴿9﴾

So do not oppress the orphan,


وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ﴿10﴾

nor repulse the beggar.1


وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ﴿11﴾

And proclaim the blessings of your Lord.
