Asad, Surah 90: The City (Al-Balad)

Surahs

[1] NAY! I call to witness this land –

[2] this land in which thou art free to dwell -

[3] and [I call to witness] parent and offspring:

[4] Verily, We have created man into [a life of] pain, toil and trial.

[5] Does he, then, think that no one has power over him?

[6] He boasts, "I have spent wealth abundant!"

[7] Does he, then, think that no one sees him?

[8] Have We not given him two eyes,

[9] and a tongue, and a pair of lips,

[10] and shown him the two highways [of good and evil]?

[11] But he would not try to ascend the steep uphill road...

[12] And what could make thee conceive what it is, that steep uphill road?

[13] [It is] the freeing of one's neck [from the burden of sin],

[14] or the feeding, upon a day of [one's own] hunger,

[15] of an orphan near of kin,

[16] or of a needy [stranger] lying in the dust –

[17] and being, withal, of those who have attained to faith, and who enjoin upon one another patience in adversity, and enjoin upon one another compassion.

[18] Such are they that have attained to righteousness;

[19] whereas those who are bent on denying the truth of Our messages – they are such as have lost themselves in evil,

[20] [with] fire closing in upon them.
