وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
And He found you unaware of the way and guided you; and found you in need and provided for you.
Verses 93:6–8 repeat a movement from a recalled state to a divine favor. Repetition of wa-wajadaka gives the passage rhythm and continuity; fa-hadā and fa-aghnā name different forms of care.
The sense of ḍāllan must be read with appropriate prophetic context; an unsupported claim of moral wrongdoing cannot be derived from the isolated word.
