The Morning Hours
الضحى
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ١
By the morning sunlight
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ٢
and the night when it falls still
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ٣
Your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ has not abandoned you, nor has He become hateful ˹of you˺
وَلَلْأَخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ٤
And the next life is certainly far better for you than this one
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ ٥
And ˹surely˺ your Lord will give so much to you that you will be pleased
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔـاوَىٰ ٦
Did He not find you as an orphan then sheltered you
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلاًّ فَهَدَىٰ ٧
Did He not find you unguided then guided you
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلاً فَأَغْنَىٰ ٨
And did He not find you needy then satisfied your needs
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ٩
So do not oppress the orphan
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ١٠
nor repulse the beggar
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ١١
And proclaim the blessings of your Lord
