-
90:1
I swear by this land.
-
90:2
While you are a legal resident at this land.
-
90:3
A father and what he begets.
-
90:4
We have created the human being to struggle.
-
90:5
Does he think that no one is able to best him?
-
90:6
He says: "I spent so much money!"
-
90:7
Does he think that no one saw him?
-
90:8
Did We not make for him two eyes?
-
90:9
A tongue and two lips?
-
90:10
We guided him to both paths?
-
90:11
He should choose the better path.
-
90:12
Do you know which the better path is?
-
90:13
The freeing of slaves.
-
90:14
Or the feeding on a day of great hardship.
-
90:15
An orphan of relation.
-
90:16
Or a poor person in need.
-
90:17
Then he has become one of those who have acknowledged, and exhort one another to patience, and exhort one another to kindness.
-
90:18
Those are the people of happiness.
-
90:19
As for those who rejected Our signs, they are the people of misery.
-
90:20
Upon them is a fire closed over.
