The City

090

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
1.I do swear by this city ˹of Mecca˺— 2.even though you ˹O Prophet˺ are subject to abuse in this city— 3.and by every parent and ˹their˺ child! 4.Indeed, We have created humankind in ˹constant˺ struggle. 5.Do they think that no one has power over them, 6.boasting, “I have wasted enormous wealth!”? 7.Do they think that no one sees them? 8.Have We not given them two eyes, 9.a tongue, and two lips; 10.and shown them the two ways ˹of right and wrong˺? 11.If only they had attempted the challenging path ˹of goodness instead˺! 12.And what will make you realize what ˹attempting˺ the challenging path is? 13.It is to free a slave, 14.or to give food in times of famine 15.to an orphaned relative 16.or to a poor person in distress, 17.and—above all—to be one of those who have faith and urge each other to perseverance and urge each other to compassion. 18.These are the people of the right.
