| 90:1 | | I swear by this city — | | 90:2 | | and you are resident in this city — | | 90:3 | | and by a father and what he fathered, | | 90:4 | | We created man in trouble. | | 90:5 | | Does he imagine that no one has power over him? | | 90:6 | | He says, ´I have consumed vast quantities of wealth.´ | | 90:7 | | Does he imagine that no one has seen him? | | 90:8 | | Have We not given him two eyes, | | 90:9 | | and a tongue and two lips | | 90:10 | | and shown him the two highways? | | 90:11 | | But he has not braved the steep ascent. | | 90:12 | | What will convey to you what the steep ascent is? | | 90:13 | | It is freeing a slave | | 90:14 | | or feeding on a day of hunger | | 90:15 | | an orphaned relative | | 90:16 | | or a poor man in the dust; | | 90:17 | | then to be one of those who have iman and urge each other to steadfastness and urge each other to compassion. | | 90:18 | | Those are the Companions of the Right. | | 90:19 | | Those who reject Our signs, they are the Companions of the Left. | | 90:20 | | Above them is a sealed vault of Fire. |
