Chapter 95 Al-Tīn: The Fig

1 By the fig and the olive!

2 And mount Sinai!

3 And this city made secure! —

4 Certainly We created man in the best make.

5 Then We render him the lowest of the low,

6 Except those who believe and do good; so theirs is a reward never to be cut off.

7 So who can give the lie to thee after (this) about the Judgment?

8 Is not Allāh the Best of the Judges?

Chapter 96 Al-‘Alaq: The Clot

1 Read in the name of thy Lord Who creates —

2 Creates man from a clot,

3 Read and thy Lord is most Generous,

4 Who taught by the pen,

5 Taught man what he knew not.

6 Nay, man is surely inordinate,

7 Because he looks upon himself as self-sufficient.

8 Surely to thy Lord is the return.

9 Hast thou seen him who forbids

10 A servant when he prays?

11 Seest thou if he is on the right way,

12 Or enjoins observance of duty?

13 Seest thou if he denies and turns away?
