[1] I do not (need to) swear by this town (Mecca)
[2] in which you are now living
[3] or by the great father and his wonderful son (Abraham and Ishmael)
[4] that We have created the human being to face a great deal of hardship.
[5] Does He think that no one will ever have control over him?
[6] (He boasts and shows off) saying, "I have spent a great deal of money (for the cause of God)".
[7] Does he think that no one has seen him?
[8] Have We not given him two eyes,
[9] a tongue, and two lips?
[10] Have We not shown him the ways of good and evil?
[11] Yet, he has not entered into Aqaba
[12] Would that you knew what Aqaba is!
[13] It is the setting free of a slave
[14] or, in a day of famine, the feeding of
[15] an orphaned relative
[16] and downtrodden destitute person, (so that he would be of)
[17] the believers who cooperate with others in patience (steadfastness) and kindness.
[18] These are the people of the right hand.
[19] As for those who disbelieve in Our revelations, they are the people of the left
[20] who will be engulfed in the fire.
