| 90:1 | | I swear by (the sanctity of) this town (of Makkah) | | 90:2 | | (Because) you (oh Muhammad, SAW), are allowed in this town | | 90:3 | | By the father (the first man, prophet Adam), and (all) the children he begot | | 90:4 | | Surely, We have fashioned man to toil (and undergo a trial) | | 90:5 | | Does man think that nobody has any power over him | | 90:6 | | (Boastfully) he says, "I have squandered heaps of wealth." | | 90:7 | | Does he think nobody watches over him | | 90:8 | | Did We not give him two eyes | | 90:9 | | A tongue, and the lips | | 90:10 | | And showed him the two (divergent) paths (of good and evil) | | 90:11 | | But man does not attempt the harder (uphill course) | | 90:12 | | And how would you know what the harder course (of action) is | | 90:13 | | (It is) freeing slaves | | 90:14 | | And on a day of hunger, feeding (the hungry) | | 90:15 | | Orphans among the kinsfolk | | 90:16 | | And the needy among the destitute | | 90:17 | | Furthermore, (the harder course is) to be among those who believe and persevere (in belief), and persevere with kindness and compassion | | 90:18 | | Such are the people of the right side _ (the righteous ones) | | 90:19 | | While those who disbelieve Our verses (and Our signs) are the people of the left side _ (the rebellious ones) | | 90:20 | | Fire shall besiege and beset them, all around |
