I translated five short suras for Yousef Rakha’s The Sultan’s Seal
The Fig
And by the fig and the olive tree
and by Mount Sinai
and this safe city
where we created people finely assessed
then echoed that they’re lower than the lowest
except the faithful and prayerful – for them an end with no obligation
so why your doubt after devotion?
isn’t God more just than the justices?
