The Two Highways

And shown him the two highways? (Good or Evil roads)

But he would not attempt the uphill road, and what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is?

(It is) to free a slave,
Or the giving of food in a day of hunger,
An orphan near of kin (one should always care for an orphan),
Or to the poor man lying in the dust.

Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion. These are the people of the right hand.

But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand (those who refuse to do good). On them is fire closed over.

Al-Balad 90: 10-20
