The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali)/93. The Brightness of the Day

93. The Brightness of the Day (Al-Duha)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

By the brightness of the day! 

And the night when it is still! -- 

Thy Lord has not forsaken thee, not is He displeased. 

And surely the latter state is better for thee than the former. 

And soon will thy Lord give thee so that thou wilt be well pleased. 

Did He not find thee an orphan and give (thee) shelter? 

And find thee groping, so He showed the way? 

And find thee in want, so He enriched thee? 

<section begin="93:9"/>Therefore the orphan, oppress not. <section end="93:9"/>

<section begin="93:10"/>And him who asks, chide not. <section end="93:10"/>

<section begin="93:11"/>And the favour of thy Lord, proclaim. <section end="93:11"/>
