Is there any steep
pass in the straight pathway (as prescribed by God) that people must attempt to
go to the paradise?
Verses 1-20 of
Chapter 90
Nay! I swear by this City, while you (O
Prophet), have been made lawful in this City. And I swear by father
and the children he begot that We have indeed created man in toil. Does he
think that no one will have power over him? He says, "I have squandered
heaps of wealth." Does he think that no one has seen him? Have We not
given him two eyes, and a tongue and two lips, and shown him both the highways
(of good and evil)? Yet he has not attempted the steep pass. And what do you
know what the steep pass is? It is the freeing of a neck from bondage, or the
feeding in a day of hunger of a nearly related orphan, or a poor man lying in
the dust. Then (besides) one should be of those who have believed and exhorted
one another to patience and exhorted one another to mercy (for God's
creatures). These are the people of the right hand. As for those who refuse to
believe in Our Revelations, they are the people of the left hand. They shall
have a Fire enveloping them.
