| In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 90. 1 ] No, I swear by this country ( Mecca ), | ||
| 2 | [ 90. 2 ] and you are a lodger in this country. | ||
| 3 | [ 90. 3 ] And by the giver of birth, and whom he fathered, | ||
| 4 | [ 90. 4 ] We created the human in fatigue. | ||
| 5 | [ 90. 5 ] Does he think that none has power over him! | ||
| 6 | [ 90. 6 ] He will say: 'I have destroyed a vast wealth.' | ||
| 7 | [ 90. 7 ] Does he think that none has observed him? | ||
| 8 | [ 90. 8 ] Have We not given him two eyes, | ||
| 9 | [ 90. 9 ] a tongue, and two lips, | ||
| 10 | [ 90. 10 ] and guided him on the two paths ( of good and evil )? | ||
| 11 | [ 90. 11 ] Yet he has not scaled the height. | ||
| 12 | [ 90. 12 ] What could let you know what the height is! | ||
| 13 | [ 90. 13 ] ( It is ) the freeing of a slave, | ||
| 14 | [ 90. 14 ] the giving of food upon the day of hunger | ||
| 15 | [ 90. 15 ] to an orphaned relative | ||
| 16 | [ 90. 16 ] or to a needy person in distress; | ||
| 17 | [ 90. 17 ] so that he becomes one of those who believe, charge each other to be patient, and charge each other to be merciful. | ||
| 18 | [ 90. 18 ] Those are the Companions of the Right. | ||
| 19 | [ 90. 19 ] But those who disbelieve in Our verses, they are the Companions of the Left, | ||
| 20 | [ 90. 20 ] with the Fire closed above them. | ||
