At-Tin

Wat teeni waz zaitoon

CONSIDER the fig and the olive,

Wa toori sineen

and Mount Sinai,

Wa haazal balad-il ameen

and this land secure!

Laqad khalaqnal insaana fee ahsani taqweem

Verily, We create man in the best conformation;

Thumma ra dad naahu asfala saafileen

and thereafter We reduce him to the lowest of low

Ill-lal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati; falahum ajrun ghairu mamnoon

excepting only such as attain to faith and do good works: and theirs shall be a reward unending!

Fama yu kaz zibuka b'adu bid deen

What, then, [O man,] could henceforth cause thee to give the lie to this moral law?

Alai sal laahu bi-ahkamil haakimeen

Is not God the most just of judges?
