The Expansion/The Fig

94. THE EXPANSION

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1. Did We not expand for you your bosom 2. and relieve you of your burden 3. which weighed down your back 4. and exalted for you your mention? 5. So certainly with difficulty is ease. 6. Certainly with difficulty is ease. 7. So when you are free, then strive, 8. and turn your attention towards your Fosterer. (R1)

95. THE FIG In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1. By the fig (or the place Tiin where Nuhs ship embarked), and the olive (or Zaita in Jerusalam, were Isa-ibni-Maryam received and preached the message of Allah), 2. and Mount Sinai (where Musa received the message of Allah), 3. and this city of security (Makkah, where our prophet Muhammed initially received and preached the message of Allah, all these are witnesses that): 4. We had indeed created man in the best form, 5. then We brought him back as the lowest of those who are low, 6. except those who believed and did righteous works, then for them there is an unfailing reward. 7. Then after this what makes you deny the judgment? 8. Is not Allah the Best Judge, of all the judges ? (R 1)
