# Translation Ayah
1 I swear by this city (Mecca) – لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
2 For you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) are in this city. وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
3 And by oath of your forefather Ibrahim, and by you – his illustrious son! وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
4 We have indeed created man surrounded by hardships. لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
5 Does man think that no one will ever have power over him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ
6 He says, “I destroyed vast wealth.” يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا
7 Does man think that no one saw him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ
8 Did We not make two eyes for him? أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
9 And a tongue and two lips? وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
10 And did We not guide him to the two elevated things? وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
11 So he did not quickly enter the steep valley. فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ
12 And what have you understood, what the valley is! وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ
13 The freeing of a slave! فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ
14 Or the feeding on a day of hunger. أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ
15 Of a related orphan, يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ
16 Or of a homeless needy person! أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ
17 And moreover to be of those who accepted faith, and who urged patience to one another and who urged graciousness to one another. ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ
18 These are the people of the right. أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
19 And those who denied Our signs, are the people of the left. وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
20 Upon them is a fire, in which they are imprisoned, closed and shut above them. عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
