Chapter 95 - THE FIG

A portion of a revelation

In the name of Allah, the merciful, the merciful



1 [I swear] by the tīn [1] and the olive 2 and by Mount Sineen [2] 3 and by this secure country; [3] 4 indeed, we created the human in the best mold. 5 Then we put him down to be the lowest of the low, 6 except for those who believed and did good deeds, so they will have an unending wage. 7 So what denies you after that in the judgment? 8 Is not Allah the wisest of the judges?



1 fig, non-Arabic word of Aramaic origin
