In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |

1. |
I swear by this city (Makkah); |
2. |
And you are free (from sin, to punish the enemies of Islâm on the Day of the conquest) in this city (Makkah), |
3. |
And by the begetter (i.e. Adam) and that which he begot (i.e. his progeny); |
4. |
Verily, We have created man in toil. |
5. |
Thinks he that none can overcome him? |
6. |
He says (boastfully): "I have wasted wealth in abundance!" |
7. |
Thinks he that none sees him? |
8. |
Have We not made for him a pair of eyes? |
9. |
And a tongue and a pair of lips? |
10. |
And shown him the two ways (good and evil)? |
11. |
But he has made no effort to pass on the path that is steep. |
12. |
And what will make you know the path that is steep? |
13. |
(It is) Freeing a neck (slave, etc.) |
14. |
Or giving food in a day of hunger (famine), |
15. |
To an orphan near of kin. |
16. |
Or to a Miskîn (poor) afflicted with misery. |
17. |
Then he became one of those who believed,
and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to pity and compassion. |
18. |
They are those on the Right Hand (the dwellers of Paradise), |
19. |
But those who disbelieved in Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they are those on the Left Hand (the dwellers of Hell). |
20. |
The Fire will be shut over them. (i.e. they will be enveloped by the Fire without any opening or window or outlet) ********* |
