Make we not two eyes for him
90:9
and a tongue and two lips
90:10
and guided him to the two open highways?
90:11
Yet he rushed not onto the steep ascent.
90:12
What will cause thee to recognize what the steep ascent is?

an orphan, possessor of kinship,
90:16
or a needy, possessor of misery.

Again, it had been among those who believed and counseled one another to having patience and counseled one another to clemency.

Those
will be
the Companions of the Right.

But they who were ungrateful for Our signs they
will be
the Companions of the Left
