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
