and you are a lodger in this country

And by the giver of birth, and whom he fathered

Have We not given him two eyes
90:9
a tongue, and two lips
90:10
and guided him on the two paths (of good and evil)
90:11
Yet he has not scaled the height
90:12
What could let you know what the height is

so that he becomes one of those who believe, charge each other to be patient, and charge each other to be merciful
