I do call to witness this City;−
90:2
And thou art a freeman of this City;−
90:3
And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;−
90:4
Verily We have created man into toil and struggle.
90:5
Thinketh he, that none hath power over him?
90:6
He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance!
90:7
Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?
90:8
Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?−
90:9
And a tongue, and a pair of lips?− And shown him the two highways?
90:11
But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.
90:12
And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?−
90:13
(It is:) freeing the bondman;
90:14
Or the giving of food in a day of privation
90:15
To the orphan with claims of relationship,
90:16
Or to the indigent (down) in the dust.
90:17
Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self−restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion.
90:18
Such are the Companions of the Right Hand.
90:19
But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand. On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round). −− 090 : The City −−
