IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Balad - The City, This Countryside as rendered by
Edward Henry Palmer
90:1
I need not swear by the Lord of this land
90:2
and though a dweller in this land
90:3
Nor by the begetter and what he begets
90:4
We have surely created man in trouble
90:5
Does he think that none can do aught against him
90:6
He says, I have wasted wealth in plenty
90:7
does he think that no one sees him
90:8
Have we not made for him two eye
90:9
and a tongue, and two lips
90:10
and guided him in the two highways
90:11
but he will not attempt the steep
90:12
And what shall make thee know what the steep is
90:13
It is freeing captives
90:14
or feeding on the day of famine
90:15
an orphan who is akin
90:16
or a poor man who lies in the dust
90:17
and again (it is) to be of these who believe and encourage each other to patience, and encourage each other to mercy,
90:18
these are the fellows of the right
90:19
But those who disbelieve in our signs, they are the fellows of the left
90:20
for them is fire that closes in
