The Fig

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[95:1]

By the fig and the olive,

[95:2]

By Mount Sinai,

[95:3]

And by this land made safe;

[95:4]

Surely We created man of the best stature

[95:5]

Then we reduced him to the lowest of the low,

[95:6]

Save those who believe and do good works, and theirs is a reward unfailing.

[95:7]

So who henceforth will give the lie to thee about the judgment ?

[95:8]

Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges ?

The Clot

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[96:1]

Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,

[96:2]

Createth man from a clot.

[96:3]

Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,

[96:4]

Who teacheth by the pen,

[96:5]

Teacheth man that which he knew not.

[96:6]

Nay, but verily man is rebellious

[96:7]

That he thinketh himself independent!

[96:8]

Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.

[96:9]

Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth

[96:10]

A slave when he prayeth ?

[96:11]

Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah)

[96:12]

Or enjoineth piety ?

[96:13]

Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah’s guidance) and is froward ?

[96:14]

Is he then unaware that Allah seeth ?

[96:15]

Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock -

[96:16]

The lying, sinful forelock -

[96:17]

Then let him call upon his henchmen!

[96:18]

We will call the guards of hell.

[96:19]

Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).
