- I swear by this land.
- And you are a resident of this land.
- And by a father and what he fathered.
- We created man in distress.
- Does he think that no one has power over him?
- He says, “I have used up so much money.”
- Does he think that no one sees him?
- Did We not give him two eyes?
- And a tongue, and two lips?
- And We showed him the two ways?
- But he did not brave the ascent.
- And what will explain to you what the ascent is?
- The freeing of a slave.
- Or the feeding on a day of hunger.
- An orphan near of kin.
- Or a destitute in the dust.
- Then he becomes of those who believe, and advise one another to patience, and advise one another to kindness.
- These are the people of happiness.
- But as for those who defy Our revelations—these are the people of misery.
- Upon them is a padlocked Fire.
