ADH DHUHAA (The Forenoon)

1. By the forenoon (after sun-rise);
2. And by the night when it is still (or darkens);
3. Your Lord (O Muhammad (Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam)) has neither forsaken You nor hated you.
4. And indeed the Hereafter is better for You than the present (life of This world).
5. And Verily, Your Lord will give You (all i.e. good) so that You shall be well-pleased.
6. Did He not find You (O Muhammad (Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam)) an orphan and gave You a refuge?
7. And He found You unaware (of the Qur'ân, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) and guided you?
8. And He found You poor, and made You rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)?
9. Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression,
10. And repulse not the beggar;
11. And proclaim the Grace of Your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and All other Graces).

وَالضُّحَى وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى

وَلَلآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الأولَى وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَى 

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَى  وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالا فَهَدَى وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلا فَأَغْنَى 

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلا تَقْهَرْ وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلا تَنْهَرْ وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

1. By the glorious morning light,
2. And by the night when it is still,
3. Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
4. And Verily the Hereafter will be better for Thee than the present.
5. And soon will Thy Guardian-Lord give Thee (That wherewith) Thou shalt be well-pleased.
6. Did He not find Thee an orphan and give Thee shelter (and care)?
7. And He found Thee wandering, and He gave Thee guidance.
8. And He found Thee In need, and made Thee independent.
9. Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
10. Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
11. But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
