THE CHAPTER OF THE FIG.

(XCV. Place of origin doubtful.)

IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God.
By the fig!
And by the olive!

- 336 -

And by Mount Sinai!
And by this safe land 1!
We have indeed created man in the best of symmetry. [5] Then we will send him back the lowest of the low; save those who believe and act aright; for theirs is a hire that is not grudged.
But what shall make thee call the judgment after this a lie!
Is not God a most just of judges?

 




p. 336
1 Alluding to the inviolable character of the sacred territory of Mecca.
