| 90:1 | | Nay! I swear by this cit | | 90:2 | | – this city wherein you have been rendered violable | | 90:3 | | and I swear by the parent and his offspring | | 90:4 | | Verily We have created man into toil and hardship | | 90:5 | | Does he think that no one can overpower him | | 90:6 | | He says: "I have squandered enormous wealth." | | 90:7 | | Does he believe that none has seen him | | 90:8 | | Did We not grant him two eyes | | 90:9 | | and a tongue and two lips | | 90:10 | | And did We not show him the two highroads (of good and evil) | | 90:11 | | But he did not venture to scale the difficult steep | | 90:12 | | And what do you know what that difficult steep is | | 90:13 | | It is freeing someone´s neck from slavery | | 90:14 | | or giving food on a day of hunge | | 90:15 | | to an orphan near of kin | | 90:16 | | or to a destitute lying in dust | | 90:17 | | and, then besides this, he be one of those who believed, and enjoined upon one another steadfastness and enjoined upon one another compassion | | 90:18 | | These are the People of the Right Hand | | 90:19 | | As for those who rejected Our Signs, they are the People of the Left Hand | | 90:20 | | Upon them shall be a Fire that will hem them in |
