Surah “The City, This Countryside”

as rendered by Umm Muhammad (Sahih International) — 20 verses

I swear by this city, Makkah
And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city
And [by] the father and that which was born [of him]
We have certainly created man into hardship
Does he think that never will anyone overcome him
He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."
Does he think that no one has seen him
Have We not made for him two eyes
And a tongue and two lips
And have shown him the two ways
But he has not broken through the difficult pass
And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass
It is the freeing of a slav
Or feeding on a day of severe hunger
An orphan of near relationshi
Or a needy person in miser
And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion
Those are the companions of the right
But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left
Over them will be fire closed in
