Morning Light · adh-Duha · سورة الضحى · 11 ayahs

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind.

وَالضُّحَىٰ

By the morning brightness.

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

And by the night when it grows calm and still.

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Your Lord has not left you, nor does He dislike you.

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

And surely, the Hereafter will be better for you than the first.

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

Soon your Lord will give you so much, and you will be happy.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Didn't He find you an orphan, and then gave you shelter?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

Didn't He find you lost, and then guided you?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

Didn't He find you in need, and then made you rich?

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

So never be harsh with the orphan.

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

And never turn away someone who asks for help.

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

And always speak about the blessings your Lord has given you.
