95 The Fig


95:1    By the Fig and the Olive,

95:2    And the Mount of Sinai,

95:3    And this City of security,-

95:4    We have indeed created man in the best of moulds,

Allah created humans to be “of best stature” but then reduced them “to the lowest of the low”. Except for “those who believe and do good works.” But what about those who don’‘t believe but do good works? Are they the “lowest of the low”?

95:5    Then do We abase him (to be) the lowest of the low,-

95:6    Except such as believe and do righteous deeds: For they shall have a reward unfailing.

95:7    Then what can, after this, contradict thee, as to the judgment (to come)?

95:8    Is not God the wisest of judges?
