In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful No! I do swear by this city And you are the dweller of this city And the begetter and that which you begot Verily, we have created man in to toil and struggle Who thinks that none has power over him? And he (boastfully) says I have squandered wealth in abundance! Does he think no-one sees him? Did we not assign to him two eyes And a tongue and two lips And guided him along the two mountain ways? But he has not attempted to ascent What will convey to you , what the ascent is? (It is) to free a slave And to feed in the day of hunger, An orphan relative or some poor person in misery And to be of those who believe and exhort one another to perseverance and exhort one another to (taking) pity Their place will be on the right hand But those who disbelieve our revelations their place will be on the left hand Fire will be an awning on them

This early Makkan Surah shows the relationship between through the ages sacred city of Makkah and the Prophet (pbuh). He was born there and upon begining to preach, the City and its Custodians shunned him and cast him out . A sacred city that had no compassion amongst the idolators.
