"The City"
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
"90.1": Nay! I swear by this city.
"90.2": And you shall be made free from obligation in this city --
"90.3": And the begetter and whom he begot.
"90.4": Certainly We have created man to be in distress.
"90.5": Does he think that no one has power over him?
"90.6": He shall say: I have wasted much wealth.
"90.7": Does he think that no one sees him?
"90.8": Have We not given him two eyes,
"90.9": And a tongue and two lips,
"90.10": And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?
"90.11": But he would not attempt the uphill road,
"90.12": And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is?
"90.13": (It is) the setting free of a slave,
"90.14": Or the giving of food in a day of hunger
"90.15": To an orphan, having relationship,
"90.16": Or to the poor man lying in the dust.
"90.17": Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion.
"90.18": These are the people of the right hand.
"90.19": And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand.
"90.20": On them is fire closed over.
