| 90:1 | | I swear an oath by this land | | 90:2 | | thou art allowed in this land | | 90:3 | | and by ones who are your parents and what is procreated, | | 90:4 | | truly, We created the human being in trouble. | | 90:5 | | Assumes he that none has power over him? | | 90:6 | | He says: I have caused abundant wealth to perish. | | 90:7 | | Assumes he that none sees him? | | 90:8 | | Make we not two eyes for him | | 90:9 | | and a tongue and two lips | | 90:10 | | and guided him to the two open highways? | | 90:11 | | Yet he rushed not onto the steep ascent. | | 90:12 | | What will cause thee to recognize what the steep ascent is? | | 90:13 | | It is the liberating of a bondsperson | | 90:14 | | or feeding on a day possessing famine | | 90:15 | | an orphan, possessor of kinship, | | 90:16 | | or a needy, possessor of misery. | | 90:17 | | Again, it had been among those who believed and counseled one another to having patience and counseled one another to clemency. | | 90:18 | | Those will be the Companions of the Right. | | 90:19 | | But they who were ungrateful for Our signs they will be the Companions of the Left | | 90:20 | | and over them will be fire, that which is closing in. |
