90:1
I NEED not to swear by this SOIL
90:2
This soil on which thou dost dwell
90:3
Or by sire and offspring
90:4
Surely in trouble have we created man
90:5
What! thinketh he that no one hath power over him
90:6
"I have wasted," saith he, "enormous riches!"
90:7
What! thinketh he that no one regardeth him
90:8
What! have we not made him eyes
90:9
And tongue, and lips
90:10
And guided him to the two highways
90:11
Yet he attempted not the steep
90:12
And who shall teach thee what the steep is
90:13
It is to ransom the captive
90:14
Or to feed in the day of famine
90:15
The orphan who is near of kin
90:16
or the poor that lieth in the dust
90:17
Beside this, to be of those who believe, and enjoin stedfastness on each other, and enjoin compassion on each other
90:18
These shall be the people of the right hand
90:19
While they who disbelieve our signs, Shall be the people of the left
90:20
Around them the fire shall close
