| 90:1 | | No, I do swear by this city (Mecca), | | 90:2 | | and you are a dweller of this city, | | 90:3 | | and by the begetter (father) and that which he begot (son), | | 90:4 | | We have indeed created man in hardship. | | 90:5 | | Does he think that no one will ever have power over him? | | 90:6 | | He says, “I have destroyed plenty of wealth.” | | 90:7 | | Does he think that no one sees him ? | | 90:8 | | Did We not make for him two eyes, | | 90:9 | | and a tongue and two lips, | | 90:10 | | and show him the two high ways (of good and evil)? | | 90:11 | | But he did not attempt the uphill (road). | | 90:12 | | And what will make you realize what the uphill (road) is? | | 90:13 | | Freeing a slave, | | 90:14 | | or feeding during a period of hunger, | | 90:15 | | an orphan having relationship, | | 90:16 | | or the dusty poor, | | 90:17 | | then to be among those who believe and recommend to each other patience and recommend to each other compassion. | | 90:18 | | Those are the companions of the right hand (side). | | 90:19 | | And those who do not believe in Our signs, they are the companions of the left hand (side). | | 90:20 | | Fire will be closed over them (enveloping them from all sides). |
