بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

1. By the morning brightness 2. And [by] the night when it covers with darkness, 3. Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you]. 4. And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life]. 5. And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied. 6. Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge? 7. And He found you lost and guided [you], 8. And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient. 9. So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him]. 10. And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him]. 11. But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
