Surah The morning hours [Ad-Dhuha] in English

Surah The morning hours [Ad-Dhuha] Ayah 11 Location Maccah Number 93

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ﴿١﴾

I CALL TO witness the early hours of morning,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ﴿٢﴾

And the night when dark and still,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ﴿٣﴾

Your Lord has neither left you, nor despises you.

وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿٤﴾

What is to come is better for you than what has gone before;

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ ﴿٥﴾

For your Lord will certainly give you, and you will be content.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ ﴿٦﴾

Did He not find you an orphan and take care of you?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّۭا فَهَدَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

Did He not find you perplexed, and show you the way?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

Did He not find you poor and enrich you?

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ﴿٩﴾

So do not oppress the orphan,

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ﴿١٠﴾

And do not drive the beggar away,

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ﴿١١﴾

And keep recounting the favours of your Lord.
