The City, This Countryside — Abdul Hye Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The City

لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ

I swear by this city (Makkah, where it is prohibited to harm anyone),

La oqsimu bihatha albaladi

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ

you (O Muhammad) are free (from sin to punish the enemies of Islam) in this city (Makkah),

Waanta hillun bihatha albaladi

وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ

and by the father (Adam) and the children which he begot (mankind),

Wawalidin wama walada

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ

surely, We have created human in toil (to work hard).

Laqad khalaqna al-insana fee kabadin

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ

Does human think that none can overcome them?

Ayahsabu an lan yaqdira AAalayhi ahadun

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا

Human says (boastfully): “I have wasted wealth in abundance!”

Yaqoolu ahlaktu malan lubadan

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ

Does human thinks that none sees them?

Ayahsabu an lam yarahu ahadun

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ

Have We not made for them a pair of eyes (to see)?

Alam najAAal lahu AAaynayni

وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ

And a tongue and a pair of lips (to control)?

Walisanan washafatayni

وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ

And shown him the 2 ways (good and evil)?

Wahadaynahu alnnajdayni

فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ

Yet, human has not attempted to pass on the steep path (Aqabah)!

Fala iqtahama alAAaqabata

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ

And what will make you know what the steep path is?

Wama adraka ma alAAaqabatu

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ

(It is) the freeing of a neck (slave from bondage);

Fakku raqabatin

أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ

or giving food in a day of hunger (famine)

Aw itAAamun fee yawmin thee masghabatin

يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ

to an orphan relative,

Yateeman tha maqrabatin

أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ

or to a poor clinging to dust (out of misery)

Aw miskeenan tha matrabatin

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ

then human should be one of those who believe, recommend one another to the patience, and recommend one another to kindness and compassion.

Thumma kana mina allatheena amanoo watawasaw bialssabri watawasaw bialmarhamati

أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ

They are the people of the Right Hand (people of Paradise).

Ola-ika as-habu almaymanati

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ

But those who disbelieve in Our revelations, they are the people of the left hand (people of hell),

Waallatheena kafaroo bi-ayatina hum as-habu almash-amati

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ

with the fire all around them.

AAalayhim narun mu/sadatun
