The Morning Hours

الضحى

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ١

By the morning sunlight

2

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ٢

and the night when it falls still

3

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ٣

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

4

وَلَلْأَخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ٤

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

5

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ ٥

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

6

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔـاوَىٰ ٦

Did He not find you as an orphan then sheltered you

7

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلاًّ فَهَدَىٰ ٧

Did He not find you unguided then guided you

8

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلاً فَأَغْنَىٰ ٨

And did He not find you needy then satisfied your needs

9

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ٩

So do not oppress the orphan

10

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ١٠

nor repulse the beggar

11

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ١١

And proclaim the blessings of your Lord
