Sorah Al-Balad ( The City ) - Verses Number 20

لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ ( 1 )

I do call to witness this City;-

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ ( 2 )

And thou art a freeman of this City;-

وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ ( 3 )

And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;-

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ ( 4 )

Verily We have created man into toil and struggle.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ( 5 )

Thinketh he, that none hath power over him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا ( 6 )

He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance!

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ ( 7 )

Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ ( 8 )

Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?-

وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ( 9 )

And a tongue, and a pair of lips?-

وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ ( 10 )

And shown him the two highways?

فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ ( 11 )

But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ ( 12 )

And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?-

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ( 13 )

(It is:) freeing the bondman;

أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ ( 14 )

Or the giving of food in a day of privation

يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ( 15 )

To the orphan with claims of relationship,

أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ ( 16 )

Or to the indigent (down) in the dust.

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ ( 17 )

Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion.

أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ( 18 )

Such are the Companions of the Right Hand.

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ( 19 )

But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand.

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ( 20 )

On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round).
