The Holy Quran, tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934], at sacred-texts.com
1. By the Fig
And the Olive,
2. And the Mount
Of Sinai,
3. And this City
Of security,—
4. Laqad khalaqna al-insana fee ahsani taqweemin
4. We have indeed created man
In the best of moulds,
5. Thumma radadnahu asfala safileena
5. Then do We abase him
(To be) the lowest
Of the low,—
6. Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati falahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
6. Except such as believe
And do righteous deeds:
For they shall have
A reward unfailing.
7. Fama yukaththibuka baAAdu bialddeeni
7. Then what can,
After this, contradict thee
As to the Judgment
(To come)?
8. Alaysa Allahu bi-ahkami alhakimeena
8. Is not God
The wisest of Judges?
