وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ

(12) And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ

(13) It is the freeing of a slave

أَوْ إِطْعَـٰمٌ فِى يَوْمٍ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍ

(14) Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ

(15) An orphan of near relationship

أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ

(16) Or a needy person in misery

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ

(17) And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ

(18) Those are the companions of the right.[1927]

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ

(19) But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.[1928]
