سورة الضحى

The Morning Hours11 ayat Makkiyah

Translated by Abul Ala Maududi

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ

By the bright forenoon,

2

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

and by the night when it covers the world with peace:

3

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

(O Prophet), your Lord has neither forsaken you, nor is He displeased.

4

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

Indeed what is to come will be better for you than what has gone by.

5

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

Verily your Lord will soon give you so amply that you will be well-pleased.

6

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Did He not find you an orphan and then gave you shelter?

7

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

Did He not find you unaware of the Right Way, and then directed you to it?

8

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

And did He not find you in want, and then enriched you?

9

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Therefore, be not harsh with the orphan;

10

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

and chide not him who asks,

11

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

and proclaim the bounty of your Lord.
