I swear by this city––
and you [Prophet] are an inhabitant of this city––
[I swear] by parent and offspring
that We have created man for toil and trial
Does he think that no one will have power over him
‘I have squandered great wealth,’ he says
Does he think no one observes him
Did We not give him eyes
a tongue, lips
and point out to him the two clear ways [of good and evil]
Yet he has not attempted the steep path
What will explain to you what the steep path is
It is to free a slave
to feed at a time of hunger
an orphaned relative
or a poor person in distress
and to be one of those who believe and urge one another to steadfastness and compassion
Those who do this will be on the right-hand side
but those who disbelieve in Our revelations will be on the left-hand side
and the Fire will close in on them
