1. I [Allah] adjure by this city of Makkah. 2. And you, Muhammad, inhabit and aggrandize this city. 3. And I [Allah] adjure by Adam and his pious offspring. 4. Indeed we have created man into travail. 5. Does the strong blasphemer think none has power to resurrect him and chastise him? 6. The blasphemer says, I have abundantly squandered wealth in animosity of Muhammad. 7. Does he think no one watches over him? 8. Have We not made a pair of eyes for him to see, 9. And endowed upon him a tongue and a pair of lips, 10. And have we not shown him the avenue of vice and avenue of virtue? 11. But he did not hasten to the hardships present in the path of the correct belief. 12. And what makes you know the high status of adhering to the path of the correct belief? 13. It is freeing a slave, 14. Or feeding on a day of famine, 15. An orphan who is a kin, 16. Or an indigent lay on the ground. 17. And therein he was among the believers who ordered one another with patience and compassion. 18. Such people will receive their books with their right hands. 19. As to those who disbelieved in the Quran shall receive their books with their left hands. 20. They shall be Locked behind the firmly shut gates of Hellfire.
