90:1
I swear by this town,
90:2
and you [Prophet] are free to dwell in this town,
90:3
And [I swear by] a father and his offspring,
90:4
We have created human being for a life of hardship.
90:5
Does he thinks that no one will have power over him?
90:6
I have wasted much money, he says,
90:7
Does he think that no one sees him?
90:8
Have We not given him two eyes?
90:9
And a tongue and two lips
90:10
and have made the two ways [of good and evil] clear to him ?
90:11
But he did not take the difficult path.
90:12
And how would you know what is the difficult path?
90:13
It is to free a slave,
90:14
or to feed on a day of hunger
90:15
an orphaned relative
90:16
or a needy person in distress.
90:17
Then to become one of those who believe and urge one another to endure and to urge each other to be compassionate.
90:18
Those are the people of righteousness.
90:19
But those who defy Our revelations are the people of despair.
90:20
With the fire closing in above them.
