090 - Surah Al-Balad “The City” the 90th chapter of the Qur’an | Recitation
Surah Al-Balad (Arabic text: البلد) is the 90th chapter of the Qur’an. The surah titled in English means “The City” and it consists of 20 verses.
The main subject or theme of this chapter is to show us the two paths Muslims can take. They are given the choice to drive either on the highway of good or evil. Allah tells us he has given us the ability and intelligence to judge right from wrong and that we will ultimately reap our own destiny. He also tells us that the right path is a difficult one for people, it is a test of one’s character and discipline. The difficult path includes “freeing of a slave”, “feeding on a day of severe hunger”, helping “an orphan of near relationship”, “or a needy person in misery”. The right path is also having good character traits like Sabr (being patient) and having empathy or compassion towards one another.
