094.005 So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
094.006 Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
094.007 Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,

THE FIG, THE FIGTREE, CHAPTER NO. 095
095.001 By the Fig and the Olive,
095.002 And the Mount of Sinai,
095.003 And this City of security,-
095.004 We have indeed created man in the best of moulds,
095.005 Then do We abase him (to be) the lowest of the low,-
095.006 Except such as believe and do righteous deeds: For they shall have a reward unfailing.
095.007 Then what can, after this, contradict thee, as to the judgment (to come)?
095.008 Is not God the wisest of judges?

096.001 Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
096.002 Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:

096.004 He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-
096.005 Taught man that which he knew not.
096.006 Day, but man doth transgress all bounds,
096.007 In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.

096.009 Seest thou one who forbids-
096.010 A votary when he (turns) to pray?
096.011 Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-
096.012 Or enjoins Righteousness?
096.013 Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
096.014 Knoweth he not that God doth see?
096.015 Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
096.016 A lying, sinful forelock!
096.017 Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
096.018 We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
096.019 Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to God)!

097.004 Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by God's permission, on every errand:
097.005 Peace!...This until the rise of morn!
