In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1_90
I do call to witness this City;- 90-2 And thou art a freeman of this City;- 90-3 And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;- 90-4 Verily We have created man into toil and struggle. 90-5 Thinketh he, that none hath power over him? 90-6 He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance! 90-7 Thinketh he that none beholdeth him? 90-8 Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?- 90-9 And a tongue, and a pair of lips?- 90-10 And shown him the two highways? 90-11 But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep. 90-12
And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?- 90-13 (It is freeing the bondman; 90-14 Or the giving of food in a day of privation 90-15 To the orphan with claims of relationship, 90-16 Or to the indigent (down) in the dust. 90-17 Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion. 90-18 Such are the Companions of the Right Hand. 90-19 But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand. 90-20 On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round).
ASY SYAMS In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 91-1 By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour; 91-2 By the Moon as she follows him; 91-3 By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory; 91-4 By the Night as it conceals it; 91-5 By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure; 91-6 By the Earth and its (wide) expanse: 91-7 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; 91-8 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- 91-9 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 91-10 And he fails that corrupts it! 91-11 The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing, 91-12 Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety). 91-13 But the Apostle of God said to them: "It is a She-camel of God! And (bar her not from) having her drink!" 91-14 Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)! 91-15 And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
AL LAIL In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 92-1 By the Night as it conceals (the light); 92-2 By the Day as it appears in glory; 92-3 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- 92-4 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 92-5 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (God), 92-6 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- 92-7 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 92-8 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, 92-9 And gives the lie to the best,-
92-10 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; 92-11 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 92-12 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, 92-13 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 92-14 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 92-15 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
ADH DHUHAA In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 93-1 By the Glorious Morning Light, 93-2 And by the Night when it is still,- 93-3 Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased. 93-4 And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present. 93-5 And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased. 93-6 Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)? 93-7 And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance. 93-8 And He found thee in need, and made thee independent. 93-9 Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness, 93-10 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); 93-11 But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
