The story

Allah says He made human beings in the very best shape — better than anything else He created. But what you do with it is up to you.

How it unfolds

  1. AYAH 1-3

    Four oaths

    The fig, the olive, Sinai, and the secure city.

  2. AYAH 4-6

    The best of moulds

    Excellence of design, the fall, and the exception.

  3. AYAH 7-8

    The most just of judges

    The closing question.

Verses to carry

  • 95:4"We have certainly created man in the best of moulds."
  • 95:6The exception: those who believe and do righteous deeds.
  • 95:8"Is not Allah the most just of judges?"

Remember this

Allah made you brilliantly. Live up to it.
