Ad-Duhaa · The Morning Hours

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ﴿١﴾

By the morning brightness

wal-ḍuḥā

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ﴿٢﴾

And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,

wa-al-layli idhā sajā

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ﴿٣﴾

Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muḥammad], nor has He detested [you].

mā waddaʿaka rabbuka wamā qalā

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿٤﴾

And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].

walalākhiratu khayrun laka mina l-ūlā

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ ﴿٥﴾

And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.

walasawfa yuʿ'ṭīka rabbuka fatarḍā

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ ﴿٦﴾

Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?

alam yajid'ka yatīman faāwā

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّۭا فَهَدَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

And He found you lost and guided [you],

wawajadaka ḍāllan fahadā

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.

wawajadaka ʿāilan fa-aghnā

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ﴿٩﴾

So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].

fa-ammā l-yatīma falā taqhar

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ﴿١٠﴾

And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].

wa-ammā l-sāila falā tanhar

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ﴿١١﴾

But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].

wa-ammā biniʿ'mati rabbika faḥaddith
