No! I do swear by this City
— And you are a free citizen of this City —
And by father and that which he begets
We have certainly created man for hard work
Does he think that no one has any control over him
He claims, "I have squandered much wealth."
Does he think no one is keeping a watch on him
Have We not made two eyes for him
And a tongue and two lips
And shown him the two ways [right and wrong]
But he ventures not up the steep road
And what do you understand what the steep road is
Freeing a slave
Or feeding on a day of extreme hunger
An orphan closely related
Or miserable poor man
Then he becomes of those who believe and exhort one another to patience, and exhort one another to mercy
These are the people of the right hand
And those who suppress the Truth in Our Verses, those are the people of the left hand
On them is Fire closing in
