| 90:1 | | I swear by this city (Makkah, where it is prohibited to harm anyone), | | 90:2 | | you (O Muhammad) are free (from sin to punish the enemies of Islam) in this city (Makkah), | | 90:3 | | and by the father (Adam) and the children which he begot (mankind), | | 90:4 | | surely, We have created human in toil (to work hard). | | 90:5 | | Does human think that none can overcome them? | | 90:6 | | Human says (boastfully): “I have wasted wealth in abundance!” | | 90:7 | | Does human thinks that none sees them? | | 90:8 | | Have We not made for them a pair of eyes (to see)? | | 90:9 | | And a tongue and a pair of lips (to control)? | | 90:10 | | And shown him the 2 ways (good and evil)? | | 90:11 | | Yet, human has not attempted to pass on the steep path (Aqabah)! | | 90:12 | | And what will make you know what the steep path is? | | 90:13 | | (It is) the freeing of a neck (slave from bondage); | | 90:14 | | or giving food in a day of hunger (famine) | | 90:15 | | to an orphan relative, | | 90:16 | | or to a poor clinging to dust (out of misery) | | 90:17 | | then human should be one of those who believe, recommend one another to the patience, and recommend one another to kindness and compassion. | | 90:18 | | They are the people of the Right Hand (people of Paradise). | | 90:19 | | But those who disbelieve in Our revelations, they are the people of the left hand (people of hell), | | 90:20 | | with the fire all around them. |
