Sura 90 The Town
I solemnly swear by this town. 2The town where you live. 3The begetting and the begotten. 4We created the human being to work hard (to redeem himself).* 5Does he think that no one will ever call him to account? 6He boasts, "I spent so much money!" 7Does he think that no one sees him? 8Did we not give him two eyes? 9A tongue and two lips? 10Did we not show him the two paths? 11He should choose the difficult path. 12Which one is the difficult path? 13The freeing of slaves. 14Feeding, during the time of hardship. 15Orphans who are related. 16Or the poor who is in need. 17And being one of those who believe, and exhorting one another to be steadfast, and exhorting one another to be kind. 18These have deserved happiness. 19As for those who disbelieved in our revelations, they have incurred misery. 20They will be confined in the Hellfire.
*90:4 See the Introduction and Appendix 7 for the purpose behind our creation.
