Surah 093

Aḍ-Ḍuḥā

الضحى

11 verses · Meccan

Key structural observations

The surah is structured as an L-shaped flow: grace descends vertically from Allah toward your need, then must turn horizontally toward others rather than being stored.
Its remembered gifts — shelter, guidance, provision — are not only consolations but a training in becoming a passage rather than an owner of niʿma.
The final commands protect grace from spoiling into arrogance: do not crush the orphan, do not repel the petitioner, and let the blessing 'speak' as hope rather than self-display.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَالضُّحَىٰ

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
