90. THE CITY ( Al – Balad )
|
|
In
the name of Allah , the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
|
|
1.
No, I do swear by this city (Mecca),
|
|
2.
and you are a dweller of this city,
|
|
3.
and by the begetter (father) and that which he begot (son),
|
|
4.
We have indeed created man in hardship.
|
|
5.
Does he think that no one will ever have power over him?
|
|
6.
He says, “I have destroyed plenty of wealth.”
|
|
7.
Does he think that no one sees him ?
|
|
8.
Did We not make for him two eyes,
|
|
9.
and a tongue and two lips,
|
|
10.
and show him the two high ways (of good and evil)?
|
|
11.
But he did not attempt the uphill (road).
|
|
12.
And what will make you realize what the uphill (road) is?
|
|
13.
Freeing a slave,
|
|
14.
or feeding during a period of hunger,
|
|
15.
an orphan having relationship,
|
|
16.
or the dusty poor,
|
|
17.
then to be among those who believe and recommend to each other patience
and recommend to each other compassion.
|
|
18.
Those are the companions of the right hand (side).
|
|
19.
And those who do not believe in Our signs, they are the companions of
the left hand (side).
|
|
20.
Fire will be closed over them (enveloping them from all sides). ( R
