The Holy Quran, tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934]
In the name of God, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful.
1. By the Fig
And the Olive,
2. And the Mount
Of Sinai,
3. And this City
Of security,—
4. We have indeed created man
In the best of moulds,
5. Then do We abase him
(To be) the lowest
Of the low,—
6. Except such as believe
And do righteous deeds:
For they shall have
A reward unfailing.
7. Then what can,
After this, contradict thee
As to the Judgment
(To come)?
8. Is not God
The wisest of Judges?
