# Translation Ayah
1 I swear by this city (Makkah); لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
2 And you are free (from sin, to punish the enemies of Islam on the Day of the conquest) in this city (Makkah). وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
3 And by the begetter (i.e. Adam) and that which he begot (i.e. his progeny); وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
4 Verily, We have created man in toil. لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
5 Thinks he that none can overcome him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ
6 He says (boastfully): "I have wasted wealth in abundance!" يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا
7 Thinks he that none sees him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ
8 Have We not made for him a pair of eyes? أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
9 And a tongue and a pair of lips? وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
10 And shown him the two ways (good and evil)? وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
11 But he has made no effort to pass on the path that is steep. فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ
12 And what will make you know the path that is steep? وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ
13 (It is) Freeing a neck (slave, etc.) فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ
14 Or giving food in a day of hunger (famine), أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ
15 To an orphan near of kin. يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ
16 Or to a Miskin (poor) afflicted with misery. أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ
17 Then he became one of those who believed, and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to pity and compassion. ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ
18 They are those on the Right Hand (the dwellers of Paradise), أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
19 But those who disbelieved in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they are those on the Left Hand (the dwellers of Hell). وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
20 The Fire will be shut over them (i.e. they will be enveloped by the Fire without any opening or window or outlet. عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
