Al-Balad

I swear by this city, where you live, and by a father and what he fathered: We created the human being in toil. Does he think no one has power over him, as he boasts of heaps of wealth spent, and that no one sees him? Did We not give him two eyes, a tongue and two lips, and show him the two ways? Yet he did not take on the steep path: freeing a slave, or feeding on a day of hunger an orphan relative or a needy person in the dust, and then being among those who believe and urge one another to patience and compassion. Those are the people of the right; those who reject Our signs are the people of the left, with a Fire sealed over them.
