English - Chapter 90 - Al-Balad

I swear by this city

and (O Prophet,) you are going to be allowed (to fight) in this city

and by the father and all those he begot

indeed We have created man (to live) in hard struggle

Does he think that no one has power over him

He says, .I have spent a lot of wealth

Does he think that no one has seen him

and one tongue and two lips

and showed him the two ways

Yet he did not make his way through the steep course

And what may let you know what the steep course is

(It is) freeing of the neck of a slave

or giving food in a day of hunger

to an orphan near of kin

or to a needy person lying in dust

then he did not join those who believe and advise each other to be patient and advise each other to be merciful

Those are the People of the Right Hand. (i.e. their books of deeds will be given in their right hands)

As for those who reject Our verses, they are the People of the Left Hand. (i.e. their books of deeds will be given in their left hands)

Upon them will be the Fire, enveloping them with closed exits
