Surah At-Tin
The Fig • Surah 95 • 8 verses
Introduction
This Meccan chapter emphasizes that Allah honours humans but many of them debase themselves by denying the meeting with Him in the Hereafter. Abu Jahl, one of the most notorious deniers is referred to in the next chapter.
وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيْتُونِ
By the fig and the olive ˹of Jerusalem˺,
وَطُورِ سِينِينَ
and Mount Sinai,
وَهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ
and this secure city ˹of Mecca˺!
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
Indeed, We created humans in the best form.
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَـٰهُ أَسْفَلَ سَـٰفِلِينَ
But We will reduce them to the lowest of the low ˹in Hell˺,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
except those who believe and do good—they will have a never-ending reward.
فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِٱلدِّينِ
Now, what makes you deny the ˹final˺ Judgment?
أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ
Is Allah not the most just of all judges?
