About this surah

Classed as a Meccan sura, it opens with oaths by the fig and the olive, by Mount Sinai, and by 'this secure city'. What follows the oaths is a statement about human beings: God created man in the best of forms, then reduced him to the lowest of the low. An exception is made at once for those who believe and do righteous deeds, who will receive a reward that is never cut off. The sura closes with two questions to the listener. After all this, what leads you to deny the Judgement? And is not God the most just of judges? In eight short verses it moves from oaths by plants and places, to the creation and fall of the human being, to the lasting reward of the righteous and the fairness of God's judgement.

• The fig and the olive
• Created in the best form
• Faith and righteous deeds
• God, the most just judge
