سُورَةُ التِّينِ
The Fig
Full recitation: Mishary Rashid Alafasy
بِّسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيْتُونِ
By the fig and the olive[1],
[1] Of Jerusalem.
وَطُورِ سِينِينَ
and by Mount Sinai[1],
[1] Of Egypt.
وَهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ
and by this secure city [of Makkah][1],
[1] This passage refers to the land of the three great prophets of Allah: Jesus (ﷺ) lived in the land of figs and olives, Moses (ﷺ) communicated with Allah on Mount Sinai, and Muhammad's (ﷺ) birthplace was Makkah. There is a similar reference in Deuteronomy 33:1, [Moses said:] “The Lord came from Sinai. Rising from Seir upon us, and he shone forth from Mount Paran.” Seir is a mountain near Jerusalem, and Paran is a mountain near Makkah.
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍۢ
Surely We have created man in the best form[1],
[1] i.e., in upright and balanced form and nature.
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَٰهُ أَسْفَلَ سَٰفِلِينَ
then We will reduce him to the lowest of the low[1],
[1] i.e., to the depths of Hell due to deviation from uprightness; or to decrepit old age.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۢ
except those who believe and do righteous deeds; they will have a never-ending reward.
فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِٱلدِّينِ
Then, what makes you deny the Judgment Day?
أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ ٱلْحَٰكِمِينَ
Is not Allah the Most Just of all judges?
