 Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee, neither hath he been displeased.

And surely the Future shall be better for thee than the Past,

And in the end shall thy Lord be bounteous to thee and thou be satisfied.

Did he not find thee an orphan and gave thee a home?

And found thee erring and guided thee,

And found thee needy and enriched thee,

As to the orphan therefore wrong him not,

And as to him that asketh of thee, chide him not away;

And as for the favours of thy Lord tell them abroad.

 

[V.]

SURA XCIV.—THE OPENING .—8 Verses.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Have we not OPENED thine heart for thee?

And taken off from thee thy burden,

Which galled thy back?

And have we not raised thy name for thee?

Then verily along with trouble cometh ease.

Verily along with trouble cometh ease.

But when thou art set at liberty, then prosecute thy toil.

And seek thy Lord with fervour.
