90:1
I swear by (the sanctity of) this town (of Makkah)
90:2
(Because) you (oh Muhammad, SAW), are allowed in this town
90:3
By the father (the first man, prophet Adam), and (all) the children he begot
90:4
Surely, We have fashioned man to toil (and undergo a trial)
90:5
Does man think that nobody has any power over him
90:6
(Boastfully) he says, "I have squandered heaps of wealth."

Did We not give him two eyes

A tongue, and the lips
90:10
And showed him the two (divergent) paths (of good and evil)
90:11
But man does not attempt the harder (uphill course)

(It is) freeing slaves

And on a day of hunger, feeding (the hungry)
90:15
Orphans among the kinsfolk

And the needy among the destitute

Fire shall besiege and beset them, all around
