90:1 |
|
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?-
|
90:10 |
|
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.
|
90:20 |
|
On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round).
