Surah “The City, This Countryside”

as rendered by [The Monotheist Group] (2011 Edition) — 20 verses

I swear by this land
And you remain committed to this land
And a father and what he begets
We have created man to struggle
Does he think that no one is able to best hi
He says: "I spent so much money!"
Does he think that no one saw hi
Did We not make for him two eye
And a tongue and two lip
And We guided him to both path
He should choose the difficult path
Do you know which is the difficult pat
The freeing of slaves
Or the feeding on a day of great hardship
An orphan of relation
Or a poor person in need
Then he has become one of those who have believed, and exhort one another to patience, and exhort one another to kindness
Those are the people of happiness
As for those who rejected Our revelations, they are the people of misery
Upon them is a Fire closed over
