    By the morning brightness

  2. وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ٢

    Similar to At-Takwir 17, Asy-Syams 4, Al-Lail 1

  3. مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ٣

    Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muḥammad], nor has He detested [you].

    And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].

  5. وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضَىٰٓ ٥
