سورة الضحى
The Morning Hours
Ad-Dhuhaa | Sura # 93 | 11 verses | Makkan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful
وَالضُّحَىٰ١
93:1 (I swear) by the morning brightness,
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ٢
93:2 and by the night when it covers (with darkness).
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ٣
93:3 (O' Noble Prophet ﷺ) Your Lord did not leave you, nor is He displeased (as some enemies are claiming).
In is in Ahadith that the revelations were stopped for a few days during Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) stay in Makka. In some Ahadith, it is for 12 days, in some it is 15, 25 and even 40 days. It made the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) sorrowful and gave an opportunity to the disbelievers who started claiming that the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) Lord was displeased and had forsaken him. Sura Ad-Dhuhaa was revealed at that time.
The break in revelations is known as 'Fatra' (الفطرة) which is normal with Prophets.
The break of 'Ilham' and/or the state of closeness with Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) in the case of Awliya is also normal. It is known as 'Qabz' (قبض). In the state of Qabz, it looks that Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) has abandoned the Wali. During this state, Awliya Allah turn to Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) in repentance and continue with Astaghfaar until the state is over and they come back to the state of proximity with Allah which is known as 'Bast' (بسط).
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ٤
93:4 (O' Noble Prophet ﷺ) every moment for you is better than the moment just passed.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ٥
93:5 And (surely) your Lord will give so much that you will be pleased.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ٦
93:6 Did He not find you an orphan and took care of you?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ٧
93:7 And did He not find you lost (in the love of your beloved Lord during seclusion in Hira Cave) and He showed you the way (towards Him)?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ٨
93:8 Did He not find you in need and made you self-sufficient?
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ٩
93:9 (O' Noble Prophet ﷺ) Treat the orphan kindly (not strictly).
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ١٠
93:10 And be soft on the beggar (not angry).
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ١١
93:11 And proclaim the blessings of your Lord (to the whole world).
