90:1 Nay, I do swear by this city (of Makka).  

90:2 For you (O Noble Prophet  ﷺ) are in this city.  

90:3 And by every parent and (their) child!  

90:4 Surely, We have created human beings to work hard (not to sit idle).  

90:5 Does he thinks that no one will have power over him?  

90:6 Human says (boastfully),  'I have spent a lot of wealth.'

90:7 Does he think that no one sees him?

90:8 Have We not given him two eyes?

90:9 And a tongue and a pair of lips (to control his sinful utterances),

90:10 and shown him both the ways (the  right and the wrong)?

90:11 But man does not attempt (to walk on the right path of)  'Aqaba' (as it looks) harder (and uphill task for him).

90:12 And how would you know what is 'Aqaba' (the valley of right path)?

90:13 It is to free a slave,

90:14 or to give food (to the needy, particularly) in times of famine,

90:15 (or provide help) to an orphan relative,

90:16 or to a poor person in distress.

90:17 Furthermore, (the right path of 'Aqaba' is) to be among those who believe and persevere (in belief), and persevere with kindness and compassion (to others).

90:18 (The people of the right path) are the people of the Right Hand (people of Paradise).

90:19 But those who disbelieve in Our revelations, they are the people of the left hand (people of Hell),

90:20 On whom the Fire will be sealed.
