| لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ {١} |
1. I swear by this (sacred) city (Makkah), |
| وَأَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ {٢} |
2. – And you (O Messenger) are a dweller in this city. – |
| وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ {٣} |
3. And by him (Abraham) who begets, and him (Muhammad) whom he begot; |
| لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ {٤} |
4. We have assuredly created human in (a life of) trial and hardship. |
| أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ {٥} |
5. Does human think that no one has power over him? |
| يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُبَدًا {٦} |
6. He says: "I have consumed abundant wealth!" |
| أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ {٧} |
7. Does he, then, think that no one ever sees him? |
| أَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُ عَيْنَيْنِ {٨} |
8. Have We not made for him a pair of eyes, |
| وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ {٩} |
9. And a tongue and two lips, |
| وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ {١٠} |
10. And shown him the two ways (one to follow and one to avoid)? |
| فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ {١١} |
11. Yet he makes no effort to make the ascent. |
| وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ {١٢} |
12. What enables you to perceive what the ascent is? |
| فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ {١٣} |
13. It is the freeing of a bondsman (a slave or a captive); |
| أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ {١٤} |
14. Or feeding, on a day of privation, |
| يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ {١٥} |
15. An orphan near of kin, |
| أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ {١٦} |
16. Or a poor wretch in misery; |
| ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ {١٧} |
17. And being, besides, of those who believe and exhort one another to patience and exhort one another to pity and compassion. |
| أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ {١٨} |
18. Those are they who are the people of happiness and prosperity (who will be given their Records in their right hands on Judgment Day). |
| وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ {١٩} |
19. But those who disbelieve in Our Revelations – they are the people of wretchedness (who will be given their Records in their left hands), |
| عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُؤْصَدَةٌ {٢٠} |
20. On them is Fire closed over. |
