Surah Ad-Dhuhaa

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ

I swear by the early hours of the day,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

And the night when it covers with darkness.

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,

وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ

And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ

Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ

And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

And find you in want and make you to be free from want?

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
