Sorah Al-Balad ( The City ) - Verses Number 20
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ ( 1 ) 
I swear by this city, Makkah -
وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ ( 2 )
And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ ( 3 )
And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ ( 4 )
We have certainly created man into hardship.
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ( 5 )
Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?
يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا ( 6 )
He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ ( 7 )
Does he think that no one has seen him?
أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ ( 8 )
Have We not made for him two eyes?
وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ( 9 )
And a tongue and two lips?
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ ( 10 )
And have shown him the two ways?
فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ ( 11 )
But he has not broken through the difficult pass.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ ( 12 )
And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ( 13 )
It is the freeing of a slave
أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ ( 14 )
Or feeding on a day of severe hunger
يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ( 15 )
An orphan of near relationship
أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ ( 16 )
Or a needy person in misery
ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ ( 17 )
And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.
أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ( 18 )
Those are the companions of the right.
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ( 19 )
But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.
عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ( 20 )
Over them will be fire closed in.
