Chapter 90 - "The City"

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

90.1: Nay! I swear by this city.

90.2: And you shall be made free from obligation in this city --

90.3: And the begetter and whom he begot.

90.4: Certainly We have created man to be in distress.

90.5: Does he think that no one has power over him?

90.6: He shall say: I have wasted much wealth.

90.7: Does he think that no one sees him?

90.8: Have We not given him two eyes,

90.9: And a tongue and two lips,

90.10: And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?

90.11: But he would not attempt the uphill road,

90.12: And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is?

90.13: (It is) the setting free of a slave,

90.14: Or the giving of food in a day of hunger

90.15: To an orphan, having relationship,

90.16: Or to the poor man lying in the dust.

90.17: Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion.

90.18: These are the people of the right hand.

90.19: And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand.

90.20: On them is fire closed over.
