| 90:1 | | I swear by this city (the world in which I live)... | | 90:2 | | That you are free of restriction herein! | | 90:3 | | And (I swear) by the One who gives birth (to man) and that which is born of him, | | 90:4 | | We have certainly created man in stages of difficulty! | | 90:5 | | Does he now think that none can overpower him? | | 90:6 | | He says, “I have spent much wealth.” | | 90:7 | | Does he think nobody can see him? | | 90:8 | | Did We not form two eyes for him? | | 90:9 | | A tongue and two lips... | | 90:10 | | And showed him the two ways (of falsity and Truth)! | | 90:11 | | But he did not have (the courage) to climb that steep hill! | | 90:12 | | Do you know what that steep hill is? | | 90:13 | | It is to liberate from slavery (to free consciousness from its enslavement to the body)! | | 90:14 | | Or to feed another while hungry! | | 90:15 | | (To feed) an orphan of near relation. | | 90:16 | | Or to feed the impoverished one who is in distress. | | 90:17 | | And then to be of those who believe and advise patience and mercy to one another. | | 90:18 | | These are the people of the right (the fortunate ones). | | 90:19 | | But those who deny Our signs, they are the people of the left (the unfortunate ones). | | 90:20 | | They are enclosed and trapped in Fire! |
