| 1 | By the forenoon (after sun-rise);
| |
| 2 | And by the night when it is still (or darkens);
| |
| 3 | Your Lord (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) 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 (Peace be upon him)) an orphan and gave you a refuge?
| |
| 7 | And He found you unaware (of the Quran, 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).
