THE MORNING HOURS MORNING BRIGHT! Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

93:1 By the Glorious Morning Light,

93:2 And by the Night when it is still,-

93:3 Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.

93:4 And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.

93:5 And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.

93:6 Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?

93:7 And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.

93:8 And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.

93:9 Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,

93:10 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);

93:11 But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!

SOLACE CONSOLATION, RELIEF Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

94:1 Have We not expanded thee thy breast?-

94:2 And removed from thee thy burden

94:3 The which did gall thy back?-

94:4 And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?

94:5 So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:

94:6 Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

94:7 Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,

94:8 And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.

THE SUN Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

91:1 By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;

91:2 By the Moon as she follows him;

91:3 By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;

91:4 By the Night as it conceals it;

91:5 By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

91:6 By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:

91:7 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;

91:8 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-

91:9 Truly he succeeds that purifies it,

91:10 And he fails that corrupts it!

91:11 The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,

91:12 Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).

91:13 But the Apostle of God said to them: "It is a She-camel of God! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"

91:14 Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!

91:15 And for Him is no fear of its consequences.

THE NIGHT Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

92:1 By the Night as it conceals (the light);

92:2 By the Day as it appears in glory;

92:3 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-

92:4 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

92:5 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (God),

92:6 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-

92:7 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

92:8 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,

92:9 And gives the lie to the best,-

92:10 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

92:11 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

92:12 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

92:13 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

92:14 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

92:15 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

92:16 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

92:17 But those most devoted to God shall be removed far from it,-

92:18 Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

92:19 And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

92:20 But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

92:21 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
