By the fig and the olive ˹of Jerusalem˺,
95:1
and Mount Sinai,
95:2
and this secure city ˹of Mecca˺!1
95:3
Indeed, We created humans in the best form.
95:4
But We will reduce them to the lowest of the low ˹in Hell˺,
95:5
except those who believe and do good—they will have a never-ending reward.
95:6
Now, what makes you deny the ˹final˺ Judgment?
95:7
Is Allah not the most just of all judges?
95:8
Read, ˹O Prophet,˺ in the Name of your Lord Who created—
96:1
created humans from a clinging clot.1
96:2
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
96:3
Who taught by the pen—
96:4
taught humanity what they knew not.1
96:5
Most certainly, one exceeds all bounds
96:6
once they think they are self-sufficient.
96:7
˹But˺ surely to your Lord is the return ˹of all˺.
96:8
Have you seen the man who prevents
96:9
a servant ˹of Ours˺ from praying?1
96:10
What if this ˹servant˺ is ˹rightly˺ guided,
96:11
or encourages righteousness?
96:12
What if that ˹man˺ persists in denial and turns away?
96:13
Does he not know that Allah sees ˹all˺?
96:14
But no! If he does not desist, We will certainly drag him by the forelock—
96:15
a lying, sinful forelock.1
96:16
So let him call his associates.
96:17
We will call the wardens of Hell.
96:18
Again, no! Never obey him ˹O Prophet˺! Rather, ˹continue to˺ prostrate and draw near ˹to Allah˺.
96:19
