# Translation Ayah
1 I do not (need to) swear by this town (Mecca) لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
2 in which you are now living وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
3 or by the great father and his wonderful son (Abraham and Ishmael) وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
4 that We have created the human being to face a great deal of hardship. لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
5 Does He think that no one will ever have control over him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ
6 (He boasts and shows off) saying, "I have spent a great deal of money (for the cause of God)". يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا
7 Does he think that no one has seen him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ
8 Have We not given him two eyes, أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
9 a tongue, and two lips? وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
10 Have We not shown him the ways of good and evil? وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
11 Yet, he has not entered into Aqaba فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ
12 Would that you knew what Aqaba is! وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ
13 It is the setting free of a slave فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ
14 or, in a day of famine, the feeding of أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ
15 an orphaned relative يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ
16 and downtrodden destitute person, (so that he would be of) أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ
17 the believers who cooperate with others in patience (steadfastness) and kindness. ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ
18 These are the people of the right hand. أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
19 As for those who disbelieve in Our revelations, they are the people of the left وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
20 who will be engulfed in the fire. عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
