Al-Balad

I swear by this city, Makkah

And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him]

We have certainly created man into hardship

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance

Does he think that no one has seen him

Have We not made for him two eyes

And a tongue and two lips

And have shown him the two ways

But he has not broken through the difficult pass

And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass

It is the freeing of a slave

Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

An orphan of near relationship

Or a needy person in misery

And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion

Those are the companions of the right

But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left

Over them will be fire closed in
