Surah “The Morning Hours, The Early Hours, Morning Bright”

as rendered by Muhammad Asad — 11 verses

CONSIDER the bright morning hours
and the night when it grows still and dark
Thy Sustainer has not forsaken thee, nor does He scorn thee
for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]
And, indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires], and thou shalt be well-pleased
Has He not found thee an orphan, and given thee shelter
And found thee lost on thy way, and guided thee
And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency
Therefore, the orphan shalt thou never wrong
and him that seeks [thy] help shalt thou never chide
and of thy Sustainer's blessings shalt thou [ever] speak
