Surat Al Balad/Surat Al Shams/Surat Al layl/Surat Al Duha

#90. Balad *SURAH*

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

1. I do call to witness this City

2. And thou art a freeman of this City

3. And (the mystic ties of) Parent and Child

4. Verily We have created Man into toil and struggle

5. Thinketh he that none hath power over him?

6. He may say (boastfully): "Wealth have I squandered in
abundance!"

7. Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?

8. Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?

9. And a tongue and a pair of lips?

10. And shown him the two highways?

11. But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep

12. And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?

13. (It is:) freeing the bondman;

14. Or the giving of food in a day of privation

15. To the orphan with claims of relationship

16. Or to the indigent (down) in the dust

17. Then will he be of those who believe and enjoin patience
(constancy and self-restraint) and enjoin deeds of kindness and
compassion

18. Such are the Companions of the Right Hand

19. But those who reject Our Signs they are the (unhappy)
companions of the Left Hand

20. On them will be Fire Vaulted over (all round)

#91. Shams

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

1. By the Sun and his (glorious) splendor;

2. By the Moon as she follow him;

3. By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;

4. By the Night as it conceals it;

5. By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

6. By the Earth and its (wide) expanse;

7. By the Soul and the proportion and order Given to it;

8. And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;

9. Truly he succeeds that purifies it

10. And he fails that corrupts it!

11. The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their
inordinate wrong - doing

12. Behold the most wicked Man among them was deputed (for
impiety)

13. But the apostle of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of
Allah! and (bar her not from) having her drink!"

14. Then they rejected him (as a false prophet) and they
hamstrung her. So their Lord on account of their crime
obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction High
and low)!

15. And for Him is no fear of its consequences

#92. Lail

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

1. By the Night as it conceals (the light);

2. By the Day as it appears in glory;

3. By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female

4. Verily (the ends) ye strive for are diverse

5. So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah)

6. And (in all sincerity) testifies to the Best

7. We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss

8. But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself
self-sufficient

9. And gives the lie to the Best

10. We will indeed make smooth for him the Path to Misery;

11. Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into
the Pit)

12. Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide

13. And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning

14. Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

15. None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

16. Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs

17. But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it

18. Those who spend their wealth for increase in
self-purification

19. And have in their minds no favor from anyone for which a
reward is expected in return

20. But only the desire to seek for the countenance of their Lord
Most High

21. And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction

#93. Dhuhaa

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

1. By the Glorious Morning Light

2. And by the Night when it is still

3. The guardian-Lord Hath not forsaken thee Nor is He displeased

4. And verily the hereafter will be better for thee than the
present

5. And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith)
thou shalt be well-pleased

6. Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and
care)?

7. And He found thee wandering and He gave thee guidance

8. And He found thee in need and made thee independent

9. Therefore treat not the orphan with harshness

10. Nor repulse the petitioner (Unheard);

11. But the Bounty of thy Lord Rehearse and proclaim!
