Arabic Text of Suratul Duha
Introduction to Suratul Duha
Suratul Duha (Chapter 93) is a short chapter of the Holy Quran revealed in Makkah. It means “The Morning Hours” or “The Forenoon”. This Surah was revealed to console Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) during a period when he did not receive revelation for some time.
Arabic Text of Suratul Duha
Pupils should learn to recite the following verses correctly:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
- وَالضُّحَىٰ
- وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
- مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
- وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ 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
