Al-Lail

The Holy Qur'an ~ 93. Ad-Dhuha (The Morning Hours) , translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Al-Inshirah

PD (?) 1934.

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

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!
