فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَؗۖ۝۱۱

But he could not scale the steep ascent.

وَ مَاۤ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُؕ۝۱۲

How will you comprehend what the Steep ascent is? --

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍۙ۝۱۳

To free a neck (from the burden of debt or slavery),

اَوْ اِطْعٰمٌ فِیْ یَوْمٍ ذِیْ مَسْغَبَةٍۙ۝۱۴

Or to feed in times of famine

یَّتِیْمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍۙ۝۱۵

The orphan near in relationship,

اَوْ مِسْكِیْنًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍؕ۝۱۶

Or the poor in distress;

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ تَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَ تَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِؕ۝۱۷

And to be of those who believe, and urge upon one another to persevere, and urge upon each other to be kind.

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَیْمَنَةِؕ۝۱۸

They are the people of the right hand (and will succeed).

وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا هُمْ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَشْـَٔمَةِؕ۝۱۹

But those who deny Our revelations are the people of the left hand:

عَلَیْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ۠۝۲۰

The Fire will vault them over.
