90:1
I swear by this territory
90:2
-- and thou, O prophet, residest in this territory, -
90:3
and by the begetter, and that which He hath begotten
90:4
verily We have created man in misery
90:5
Doth he think that none shall prevail over him
90:6
He saith, I have wasted plenty of riches
90:7
Doth he think that none seeth him
90:8
Have we not made him two eyes
90:9
and a tongue, and two lips
90:10
and shewn him the two highways of good and evil
90:11
Yet he attempteth not the cliff
90:12
What shall make thee to understand what the cliff is
90:13
It is to free the captive
90:14
or to feed, in the day of famine
90:15
the orphan who is of kin
90:16
or the poor man who lieth on the ground
90:17
Whoso doth this, and is one of those who believe, and recommend perseverance unto each other, and recommend mercy unto each other
90:18
these shall be the companions of the right-hand
90:19
But they who shall disbelieve our signs, shall be the companions of the left-hand
90:20
Above them shall be arched fire
