90 - The City | |
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. | |
| 1 | Nay! I swear by this city. |
| 2 | And you shall be made free from obligation in this city-- |
| 3 | And the begetter and whom he begot. |
| 4 | Certainly We have created man to be in distress. |
| 5 | Does he think that no one has power over him? |
| 7 | Does he think that no one sees him? |
| 9 | And a tongue and two lips, |
| 10 | And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways? |
| 11 | But he would not attempt the uphill road, |
| 12 | And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is? |
| 13 | (It is) the setting free of a slave, |
| 14 | Or the giving of food in a day of hunger |
| 15 | To an orphan, having relationship, |
| 16 | Or to the poor man lying in the dust. |
| 17 | Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion. |
| 19 | These are the people of the right hand. |
| 20 | On them is fire closed over. |
