Chapter 90

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

I do swear by this land.

And you are a dweller in this land.

And a father and what he begets.

We have created the human being in struggle.

Does he think that no one is able to best him?

He says: "I spent so much money!"

Does he think that no one sees him?

Did We not make for him two eyes?

And a tongue and two lips?

And We guided him to dual paths?

He should choose the difficult path.

Do you know which is the difficult path?

The freeing of a slave,

Or feeding on a day of great hardship,

An orphan of relation,

Or a poor person in need;

Then becoming one of those who believe, and exhort one another to patience, and exhort one another to kindness.

Those are the people of the right.

And those who rejected Our revelations, they are the people of misery.

Upon them is a Fire closed over.
