| 90:1 | | I swear by this land | | 90:2 | | And you are a resident of this land | | 90:3 | | And by a father and what he fathered | | 90:4 | | We created man in distress | | 90:5 | | Does he think that no one has power over him | | 90:6 | | He says, 'I have used up so much money.' | | 90:7 | | Does he think that no one sees him | | 90:8 | | Did We not give him two eyes | | 90:9 | | And a tongue, and two lips | | 90:10 | | And We showed him the two ways | | 90:11 | | But he did not brave the ascent | | 90:12 | | And what will explain to you what the ascent is | | 90:13 | | The freeing of a slave | | 90:14 | | Or the feeding on a day of hunger | | 90:15 | | An orphan near of kin | | 90:16 | | Or a destitute in the dust | | 90:17 | | Then he becomes of those who believe, and advise one another to patience, and advise one another to kindness | | 90:18 | | These are the people of happiness | | 90:19 | | But as for those who defy Our revelations—these are the people of misery | | 90:20 | | Upon them is a padlocked Fire |
