بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ ﴿۱﴾
No, I swear by this country (Mecca), (1)
وَأَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ ﴿۲﴾
and you are a lodger in this country. (2)
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ ﴿۳﴾
And by the giver of birth, and whom he fathered, (3)
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ ﴿۴﴾
We created the human in fatigue. (4)
أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ﴿۵﴾
Does he think that none has power over him! (5)
يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُبَدًا ﴿۶﴾
He will say: 'I have destroyed a vast wealth. ' (6)
أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ ﴿۷﴾
Does he think that none has observed him? (7)
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُ عَيْنَيْنِ ﴿۸﴾
Have We not given him two eyes, (8)
وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ﴿۹﴾
a tongue, and two lips, (9)
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ ﴿۱۰﴾
and guided him on the two paths (of good and evil)? (10)
فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ ﴿۱۱﴾
Yet he has not scaled the height. (11)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ ﴿۱۲﴾
What could let you know what the height is! (12)
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
(It is) the freeing of a slave, (13)
أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ ﴿۱۴﴾
the giving of food upon the day of hunger (14)
يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ﴿۱۵﴾
to an orphaned relative (15)
أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ ﴿۱۶﴾
or to a needy person in distress; (16)
ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ ﴿۱۷﴾
so that he becomes one of those who believe, charge each other to be patient, and charge each other to be merciful. (17)
أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ﴿۱۸﴾
Those are the Companions of the Right. (18)
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ﴿۱۹﴾
But those who disbelieve in Our verses, they are the Companions of the Left, (19)
عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُؤْصَدَةٌ ﴿۲۰﴾
with the Fire closed above them. (20)
