IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Balad - The City, This Countryside as rendered by
N J Dawood (2014)
90:1
I SWEAR by this cit
90:2
(and you¹ are a resident of this city)
90:3
by the begetter² and all whom he begot
90:4
We created man to try him with affliction
90:5
Does he think that none has power over him
90:6
I have squandered vast riches!‘ he says
90:7
Does he think that none observed him
90:8
Have We not given him two eyes
90:9
a tongue, and two lips
90:10
and shown him the two paths
90:11
Yet he would not scale the Height
90:12
Would that you knew what the Height is
90:13
It is the freeing of a slave
90:14
the feeding, in the day of famine
90:15
of an orphaned relatio
90:16
or a needy man in distress
90:17
to have faith and to enjoin fortitude and mercy
90:18
Such are those that shall stand on the right hand
90:19
but those that deny Our revelations shall stand on the left
90:20
with a Fire close above them
