بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, The All Gracious, The All Merciful
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ﴿١﴾
[90:1] I swear by this town-
وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ﴿٢﴾
[90:2] -and you, a resident of this town,-
وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ ﴿٣﴾
[90:3] -and the parent and child.
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ ﴿٤﴾
[90:4] We have certainly created the human being to go through hardship.
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ ﴿٥﴾
[90:5] Does he think that no one has any power over him?
يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا ﴿٦﴾
[90:6] He boasts that I have spent so much money.
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ ﴿٧﴾
[90:7] Does he think that no one can see him?
أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ ﴿٨﴾
[90:8] Did We not create for him two eyes-
وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ﴿٩﴾
[90:9] -and a tongue, and two lips-
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ ﴿١٠﴾
[90:10] -and showed him the two paths?
فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ ﴿١١﴾
[90:11] He should therefore choose the difficult one.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ ﴿١٢﴾
[90:12] And do you know what the difficult one is?
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ﴿١٣﴾
[90:13] Freeing the slaves.
أَوْ إِطْعَٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ ﴿١٤﴾
[90:14] Or feeding someone even during hard times,-
يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ﴿١٥﴾
[90:15] -a fatherless who is close by,-
أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ ﴿١٦﴾
[90:16] -or a needy who is homeless,-
ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ ﴿١٧﴾
[90:17] then if he is one of those who had attained faith, and enjoins others to patience, and enjoins others to kindness,-
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ﴿١٨﴾
[90:18] -these will be the dwellers of the bliss.
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ﴿١٩﴾
[90:19] As for those who reject Our signs, they will be the dwellers of misery.
عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌۭ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ ﴿٢٠﴾
[90:20] They will be surrounded by Fire.
