90:1  I swear by this territory
90:2  -- and thou, O prophet, residest in this territory, -
90:3  and by the begetter, and that which He hath begotten
90:4  verily We have created man in misery
90:5  Doth he think that none shall prevail over him
90:6  He saith, I have wasted plenty of riches
90:7  Doth he think that none seeth him
90:8  Have we not made him two eyes
90:9  and a tongue, and two lips
90:10  and shewn him the two highways of good and evil
90:11  Yet he attempteth not the cliff
90:12  What shall make thee to understand what the cliff is
90:13  It is to free the captive
90:14  or to feed, in the day of famine
90:15  the orphan who is of kin
90:16  or the poor man who lieth on the ground
90:17  Whoso doth this, and is one of those who believe, and recommend perseverance unto each other, and recommend mercy unto each other
90:18  these shall be the companions of the right-hand
90:19  But they who shall disbelieve our signs, shall be the companions of the left-hand
90:20  Above them shall be arched fire
