Al-Balad 90:4

I swear by this city––

Translation 1260

and you [Prophet] are an inhabitant of this city––

Translation 1260

[I swear] by parent and offspring

Translation 1260

that We have created man for toil and trial

Translation 1260

Does he think that no one will have power over him

Translation 1260

‘I have squandered great wealth,’ he says

Translation 1260

Does he think no one observes him

Translation 1260

Did We not give him eyes

Translation 1260

a tongue, lips

Translation 1260

and point out to him the two clear ways [of good and evil]

Translation 1260

Yet he has not attempted the steep path

Translation 1260

What will explain to you what the steep path is

Translation 1260

It is to free a slave

Translation 1260

to feed at a time of hunger

Translation 1260

an orphaned relative

Translation 1260

or a poor person in distress

Translation 1260

and to be one of those who believe and urge one another to steadfastness and compassion

Translation 1260

Those who do this will be on the right-hand side

Translation 1260

but those who disbelieve in Our revelations will be on the left-hand side

Translation 1260

and the Fire will close in on them

Translation 1260
