106 - Quran - Surah 90 - Al-Balad - The City

I do swear by this landThis land where you are free to dwellAnd by the parents and their childrenWe have created man into a life of pain and distress and toil and trialYet he thinks nothing can overpower himHe boasts: I have wasted great wealthDoes he think no one sees him?Did we not give him two eyesAnd a tongue? And two lips?And guided him to the parting of two paths. But he has not taken the uphill and challenging pathAnd how will you understand the value of the uphill and challenging path?It is the freeing of a slaveOr giving food in a time of hungerTo a family memberOr to any person in needThen, being among those believers who heed the warning -- and advise others toward patience and toward compassionThese are the people of the right handBut for those who disbelieve… they will be the people of the left handWith a seal of fire closing in on them.
