| The CityIn the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
[90:1]
I swear by this land,
[90:2]
and you have free disposal of this land.
[90:3]
And [by] the begetter and that which he begat.
[90:4]
We certainly created man in travail.
[90:5]
Does he suppose that no one will have power over him?
[90:6]
He says, ‘I have exhausted vast wealth!’
[90:7]
Does he suppose that no one has seen him?
[90:8]
Have We not given him two eyes,
[90:9]
and a tongue, and two lips,
[90:10]
and guided him to the two paths?
[90:11]
Yet why does he not assault the obstacle?
[90:12]
And what will show you what the obstacle is?,
[90:13]
the freeing of a slave,
[90:14]
or to give food on a day of hunger,
[90:15]
to an orphan near of kin
[90:16]
or a needy person in misery;
[90:17]
while being one of those who believe and enjoin one another to steadfastness and enjoin one another to compassion.
[90:18]
Those are the ones of the right [side].
[90:19]
But those who disbelieve in Our signs, they are the ones of the left [side].
[90:20]
Over them will be an enclosing Fire.
