Surah “The Fig, The Figtree”

as rendered by Edward Henry Palmer — 8 verses

By the fig! And by the olive
And by Mount Sinai
And by this safe land
We have indeed created man in the best of symmetry
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
