In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
90:1. I swear by this land.
90:2. And you are a resident of this land.
90:3. And by a father and what he fathered.
90:4. We created man in distress.
90:5. Does he think that no one has power over him?
90:6. He says, “I have used up so much money.”
90:7. Does he think that no one sees him?
90:8. Did We not give him two eyes?
90:9. And a tongue, and two lips?
90:10. And We showed him the two ways?
90:11. But he did not brave the ascent.
90:12. And what will explain to you what the ascent is?
90:13. The freeing of a slave.
90:14. Or the feeding on a day of hunger.
90:15. An orphan near of kin.
90:16. Or a destitute in the dust.
90:17. Then he becomes of those who believe, and advise one another to patience, and advise one another to kindness.
90:18. These are the people of happiness.
90:19. But as for those who defy Our revelations—these are the people of misery.
90:20. Upon them is a padlocked Fire.
