| 90:1 | | Nay, (it will never happen as the disbelievers desire.) I do swear by this city (of Makkah) | | 90:2 | | When you will surely alight (as a conqueror) in this city | | 90:3 | | And (I cite as witness your) father (- Abraham) and (his exalted) son (- Ismail) | | 90:4 | | We have certainly created a human being (to face obstacles and) to struggle hard (to achieve a marvelous goal) | | 90:5 | | Does he think that no one will have power (to use) against him | | 90:6 | | He will say, `I have wasted enormous wealth. | | 90:7 | | But does he think that no one sees him | | 90:8 | | Have We not given him two eyes (to distinguish right from wrong) | | 90:9 | | And a tongue and two lips (so that he can ask if he cannot see for himself) | | 90:10 | | And We have pointed out to him the two conspicuous high ways (of right and wrong) | | 90:11 | | Yet he would not attempt the uphill path of steep and difficult ascent | | 90:12 | | And what should make you know what the uphill path of steep and difficult ascent is | | 90:13 | | (It is) the freeing of a captive (from the bondage of slavery, debt and other afflictions) | | 90:14 | | Or feeding in the time of famin | | 90:15 | | An orphan, near of kin | | 90:16 | | Or a downtrodden poor man | | 90:17 | | And what is even more, then he is of those who believe and exhort one another to be patiently persevering and exhort one another to be compassionate (towards God's creation) | | 90:18 | | These (who follow this hard path) are the blessed ones (- the people of the right hand) | | 90:19 | | But those who denied Our Messages are the wretched ones (- the people of the left hand) | | 90:20 | | There shall envelop them the Fire closed over (- a Fire the heat of which is not allowed to escape and they themselves cannot get out of it) |
