Ad-Duha — English Translation

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ﴿1﴾

By the glorious morning light;

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ﴿2﴾

and by the night when it darkens,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ﴿3﴾

your Lord has not forsaken you, nor is He displeased with you,

وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿4﴾

and the Hereafter will indeed be better for you than the present life;

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ ﴿5﴾

soon you will be gratified with what your Lord will give you.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ ﴿6﴾

Did He not find you orphaned and shelter you?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّۭا فَهَدَىٰ ﴿7﴾

Did He not find you wandering, and give you guidance?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ ﴿8﴾

Did He not find you in want, and make you free from want?

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ﴿9﴾

Therefore do not treat the orphan with harshness,

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ﴿10﴾

and do not chide the one who asks for help;

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ﴿11﴾

but proclaim the blessings of your Lord.
