The Morning Hours · Meccan · 11 ayahs
Allah takes an oath on the beginning of the day.
And He takes an oath on the night when it darkens and people cease to move in it.
93:3Page 596
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ٣
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muḥammad], nor has He detested [you].
O Messenger! Your Lord has not left you, nor has he begun to hate you, as the idolaters claimed when there was a break in the revelation.
93:4Page 596
وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ٤
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
Indeed, the abode of the afterlife is better for you than the worldly one, because of the everlasting bounties that it has.
93:5Page 596
وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضَىٰٓ ٥
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
Very soon He will grant you an abundant reward, and your nation also, until you become content with what He has granted you and your nation.
93:6Page 596
أَلَمۡ يَجِدۡكَ يَتِيمٗا فَـَٔاوَىٰ ٦
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
Verily, He found you at a time when you were a child whose father had passed away, and so He made a place of refuge for you by causing your grandfather Abdul Muttalib to become fond of you, and then your uncle Abu Talib.
He found you in a state where you did not know what revelation or faith was, and so He taught you about that which you did not know.
And He found you poor, so He made you self-sufficient.
Therefore, do not treat badly the one who has lost his father in childhood, nor look down upon him.
And do not rebuke the needy beggar.
93:11Page 596
وَأَمَّا بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثۡ ١١
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
And be grateful for the favours of Allah upon you, and talk about them.
