Al-Balad

90:1

I swear by this city, Makkah -

90:2

And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -

90:3

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],

90:4

We have certainly created man into hardship.

90:5

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

90:6

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

90:7

Does he think that no one has seen him?

90:8

Have We not made for him two eyes?

90:9

And a tongue and two lips?

90:10

And have shown him the two ways?

90:11

But he has not broken through the difficult pass.

90:12

And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?

90:13

It is the freeing of a slave

90:14

Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

90:15

An orphan of near relationship

90:16

Or a needy person in misery

90:17

And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.

90:18

Those are the companions of the right.

90:19

But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.

90:20

Over them will be fire closed in.
