لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِہَـٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ (١) وَأَنتَ حِلُّۢ بِہَـٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ (٢) وَوَالِدٍ۬ وَمَا وَلَدَ (٣) لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ (٤) أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ أَحَدٌ۬ (٥) يَقُولُ أَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالاً۬ لُّبَدًا (٦) أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّمۡ يَرَهُ ۥۤ أَحَدٌ (٧) أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُ ۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ (٨)وَلِسَانً۬ا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ (٩) وَهَدَيۡنَـٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ (١٠) فَلَا ٱقۡتَحَمَ ٱلۡعَقَبَةَ (١١) وَمَآ أَدۡرَٮٰكَ مَا ٱلۡعَقَبَةُ (١٢) فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ (١٣) أَوۡ إِطۡعَـٰمٌ۬ فِى يَوۡمٍ۬ ذِى مَسۡغَبَةٍ۬ (١٤)يَتِيمً۬ا ذَا مَقۡرَبَةٍ (١٥) أَوۡ مِسۡكِينً۬ا ذَا مَتۡرَبَةٍ۬ (١٦) ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلۡمَرۡحَمَةِ (١٧) أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ (١٨)وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا هُمۡ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ (١٩) عَلَيۡہِمۡ نَارٌ۬ مُّؤۡصَدَةُۢ (٢٠)
Surah Al-Balad
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I swear by this city, (1) And (O Prophet,) you are going to be allowed (to fight) in this city__ 1 (2) And by the father and all those he begot, 2 (3) Indeed We have created man (to live) in hard struggle. 3 (4) Does he think that no one has power over him? (5) He says, “I have spent a lot of wealth.” 4 (6) Does he think that no one has seen him? (7) Did We not make for him two eyes, (8) And one tongue and two lips, (9) And showed him the two ways? (10) Yet he did not make his way through the steep course,_ 5 __ (11) And what may let you know what the steep course is? (12) It is) freeing of the neck of a slave, (13) Or giving food in a day of hunger (14) To an orphan near of kin, (15) Or to a needy person lying in dust_ 6___ (16) Then he did join those who believe and advise each other to be patient and advise each other to be merciful. (17) Those are the People of the Right Hand. (i.e. their books of deeds will be given in their right hands) (18) As for those who reject Our verses, they are the People of the Left Hand. (i.e. their books of deeds will be given in their left hands.) (19) Upon them will be the Fire, enveloping them with closed exits. (20)
