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

as rendered by George Sale — 11 verses

By the brightness of the morning
and by the night, when it groweth dark
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee, neither doth He hate thee
Verily the life to come shall be better for thee than this present life
And thy Lord shall give thee a reward wherewith thou shalt be well pleased
Did He not find thee an orphan, and hath He not taken care of thee
And did He not find thee wandering in error, and hath He not guided thee into the truth
And did He not find thee needy, and hath He not enriched thee
Wherefore oppress not the orphan
neither repulse the beggar
But declare the goodness of thy Lord
