وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
18. And at the sky - how it is raised?
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
19. And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
20. And at the earth - how it is spread out?
فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
15. And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
16. But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا
19. And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
20. And you love wealth with immense love.
كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
21. No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
27. [To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
4. We have certainly created man into hardship.
