Morning

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوٓا۟ أَنصَارَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّـۧنَ مَنْ أَنصَارِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ ٱلْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَـَٔامَنَت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّآئِفَةٌ ۖ فَأَيَّدْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ ظَـٰهِرِينَ

You who believe, be God’s helpers. As Jesus, son of Mary, said to the disciples, ‘Who will come with me to help God?’ The disciples said, ‘We shall be God’s helpers.’ Some of the Children of Israel believed and some disbelieved: We supported the believers against their enemy and they were the ones who came out on top.

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا رُجُومًا لِّلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and made them [missiles] for stoning devils for whom We have also prepared the torment of a blazing fire.

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَن يَأْتِيكُم بِمَآءٍ مَّعِينٍۭ

Say, ‘Just think: if all your water were to sink deep into the earth who could give you flowing water in its place?’

إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـٰهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا۟ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ

We have tried them as We tried the owners of a certain garden, who swore that they would harvest its fruits in the morning

فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ

and by morning it was stripped bare, a desolate land.

فَتَنَادَوْا۟ مُصْبِحِينَ

Still they called each other at daybreak,

أَنِ ٱغْدُوا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰرِمِينَ

‘Go early to your field if you wish to gather all its fruits,’

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ

By the shining dawn!

وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

remember the name of your Lord at dawn and in the evening;

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا

On the Day they see it, it will seem they lingered [in this life] an evening [at most,] or its morning.

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

by the dawn that softly breathes:

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ

By the morning brightness

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا

who make dawn raids,

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ

Say [Prophet], ‘I seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak

وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

the harm in the envier when he envies.’
