وَما أَدراكَ مَا العَقَبَةُ
And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ
It is the freeing of a slave
أَو إِطعامٌ في يَومٍ ذي مَسغَبَةٍ
Or feeding on a day of severe hunger
يَتيمًا ذا مَقرَبَةٍ
An orphan of near relationship
أَو مِسكينًا ذا مَترَبَةٍ
Or a needy person in misery
ثُمَّ كانَ مِنَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَتَواصَوا بِالصَّبرِ وَتَواصَوا بِالمَرحَمَةِ
And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.
أُولـٰئِكَ أَصحابُ المَيمَنَةِ
Those are the companions of the right.
وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا بِآياتِنا هُم أَصحابُ المَشأَمَةِ
But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.
عَلَيهِم نارٌ مُؤصَدَةٌ
Over them will be fire closed in.
