The Koran (Al-Qur'an) PUBLIC SERVICES, / AND EMINENT LITERARY ATTAINMENTS, / THE TRANSLATOR. / PREFACE; lines 1437-1607 confidence: high
The sura invokes noon-day brightness and darkening night, says the Lord has not forsaken the addressee, promises future bounty, recalls that God gave him home, guidance, and enrichment, and commands him to protect the orphan, not reject the asker, and proclaim the Lord's favours.
The passage presents anxiety and depression in editorial framing, then has God declare that the addressed person is not forsaken and recount divine favours.
