☪️ Quran: Chapter 90 The City – Al Balad سورة البلد

Revelation place: Mecca

Revelation order: 35

Number of verses: 20

Theme:

This Surah explains humans' true place in the world and emphasizes that Allah has shown them both the paths of good and evil, along with the ability to choose. The path to righteousness is challenging and requires self-restraint and compassion, while the path to evil is easy but leads to destruction. It refutes the idea that humans are free from accountability and urges people to help the needy, support orphans, and join the believers. Those who do so will receive Allah’s mercy, while those who reject this path will face punishment.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the condemned.

With the name of Allah, the Gracious the Merciful.
