89:23 and Hell is brought near on that Day – this is when man will understand, but what is the use of that understanding?

89:24 He will say, “Would that I had sent forth something for my [eternal] life!”

89:25 None can punish as He punishes on that Day,

89:26 and none can bind as He binds.

89:27 [It will be said to the believer,] “O tranquil soul!

89:28 Return to your Lord, well pleased and pleasing [to Him].

89:29 Join My [righteous] slaves,

89:30 and enter My Paradise.”

90:1 I do swear by this city [of Makkah] –

90:2 and you are free of restriction [for a while] in this city[1] –

90:3 and by every parent[1] and his offspring,

90:4 We have created man in hardship.

90:5 Does he think that none can ever have power over him?

90:6 He says, “I have squandered enormous wealth!”

90:7 Does he think that no one sees him?

90:8 Have We not given him two eyes,

90:9 and a tongue and two lips,

90:10 and shown him the two ways [of right and wrong]?

90:11 Yet he did not make his way through the steep path[1],

90:12 and how do you know what the steep path is?

90:13 It is freeing a slave,

90:14 or giving food on a day of hunger,

90:15 to an orphan relative,

90:16 or to a needy person in misery,

90:17 then [most importantly] to be one of those who believe and exhort one another to patience and exhort one another to compassion.

90:18 Such are the people of the Right[1].
