I swear by this city
where to assassinate) you (O Muhammad) have been made lawful in this city
And I swear by your father (Adam) and the children he begot (mankind)
certainly We have created man to be in stress
Does he think that none has power over him
He may boast: "I have squandered wealth in abundance!"
Does he think that no one observes him
Have We not given him two eyes to observe
One tongue and two lips to control it
Then shown him the two high ways (good leading towards paradise and evil leading towards hell)
Yet he does not attempt to tackle the Aqabah (steep path)
And what will explain to you what the Aqabah is
It is the freeing of a neck (slave) from bondage
or the giving of food in a day of famine
to an orphan relative
or to a needy in distress
besides this, he should be of those who believe, enjoin fortitude, encourage kindness and compassion
Such are the people of the right hand (going towards paradise)
But those who disbelieve Our revelations, they are the people of the left hand (going towards hell)
having fire all around them
