Sorah Al-Balad ( The City ) - Verses Number 20

لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ ( 1 )

I swear by this city, Makkah -

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ ( 2 )

And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -

وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ ( 3 )

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ ( 4 )

We have certainly created man into hardship.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ( 5 )

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا ( 6 )

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ ( 7 )

Does he think that no one has seen him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ ( 8 )

Have We not made for him two eyes?

وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ( 9 )

And a tongue and two lips?

وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ ( 10 )

And have shown him the two ways?

فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ ( 11 )

But he has not broken through the difficult pass.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ ( 12 )

And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ( 13 )

It is the freeing of a slave

أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ ( 14 )

Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ( 15 )

An orphan of near relationship

أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ ( 16 )

Or a needy person in misery

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ ( 17 )

And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.

أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ( 18 )

Those are the companions of the right.

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ( 19 )

But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ( 20 )

Over them will be fire closed in.
