Sorah Ad-Dhuha ( The Forenoon ) - Verses Number 11

وَالضُّحَىٰ ( 1 )

By the Glorious Morning Light,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ( 2 )

And by the Night when it is still,-

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ( 3 )

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

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ ( 4 )

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

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ ( 5 )

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

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ ( 6 )

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

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ ( 7 )

And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ ( 8 )

And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ( 9 )

Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ( 10 )

Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ( 11 )

But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!

Response on Misconceptions about the Ruling of Celebrating the Birthday of the ProphetThis is a medium response to one Yemenite Sufi whose name is Al-Habeeb Ibn 'Ali Al-Jafri. In his most recent tape entitled ''The Objectives of a Female Believer and Her Example in Life'', he mentioned that the celebration of the Prophet's, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, birthday is permissible. He provided evidence from the Quran and the Sunnah (of the Prophet, sallalaahu 'alayhi wa salam) -as he claims- and he confused the ordinary listener with this evidence.
