Period of Revelation

Two different views have been reported from Ibn Abbas: first that it is a Makki Sūrah, and second that it is Madani. But the majority of scholars regard it as a Makki revelation, a manifest symbol of which is the use of the words ha-dhal-balad-il-amin (this city of peace for Makkah.

Aim Its theme is the rewards and punishments of the Hereafter. It states that Allah has created man in the most excellent of moulds but yet there are two kinds of men. One kind is of those who become inclined to evil and their moral degeneration causes them to be reduced to the lowest of the low. Whereas the other kind who by adopting the way of the faith and righteousness remain consistent with the noble position. This existence among the mankind of these both kinds is factual thing which no one can deny. Therefore, as a result how can one deny the judgement and retribution of deeds? If the normally degraded are not punished and the morally pure and exalted are not rewarded and both end in the dust alike, it would mean that there is no justice in the kingdom of God; whereas human nature and common sense demand that a judge should do justice. How then can one conceive that God, Who is the most just of all judges, would not do justice?

2. And {by} Mount Sinai.

3. And {by} this secure city [i.e., Makkah],

4. We have certainly created man in the best of stature;

5. Then We return him to the lower of the low,

6. Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward uninterrupted.

7. So what yet cause you to deny the Recompense?

8. Is not God the most just of judges?

The basic fact outlined in this sūrah is that God has given man an upright nature.

This is essentially in perfect harmony with the nature of faith. With faith it attains

its ultimate perfection. But when man deviates from this upright nature and from

the straight path of faith he sinks into the lowest abyss.

God swears to the validity of this by the fig, tin, the olive, zaytūn, Mount Sinai,

Ţūr Sīnīn and the secure city of Makkah, al-balad al-amīn. As we have already

seen in many sūrahs in this part of the Qur’ān, this oath is the framework which

perfectly fits the essential facts presented within it.

Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas that what is meant by At-Tin is the Masjid

of Nuh that was built upon Mount Al-Judi. Mujahid said, "It is this fig that you

have.''

said, "It is this olive which you press (to extract the oil).''

By this city of security.) meaning Makkah. This was said by Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Ibrahim An-Nakha`i, Ibn Zayd and Ka`b Al-Ahbar. There is no difference of opinion about this. Some of the Imams have said that these are three different places, and that Allah sent a Messenger to each of them from the Leading Messengers, who delivered the Great Codes of Law. The first place is that of the fig and the olive, which was Jerusalem, where Allah sent `Isa bin Maryam. The second place is Mount Sinin, which is Mount Sinai where Allah spoke to Musa bin `Imran. The third place is Makkah, and it is the city of security where whoever enters is safe. It is also the city in which Muhammad was sent. They have said that these three places are mentioned at the end of the Tawrah. The verse says, "Allah has come from Mount Sinai - meaning the one upon which Allah spoke to Musa bin `Imran; and shined from Sa`ir - meaning the mountain of Jerusalem from which Allah sent `Isa; and appeared from the mountains of Faran - meaning the mountains of Makkah from which Allah sent `Isa; and appeared from the mountains of Faran - meaning the mountains of Makkah from which Allah sent Muhammad .'' Thus, He mentioned them in order to inform about them based upon their order of existence in time. This is why He swore by a noble place, then by a nobler place, and then by a place that is the nobler than both of them

This means decrepit old age.'' This has been reported from Ibn `Abbas and `Ikrimah. `Ikrimah even said, "Whoever gathers the Qur'an (i.e., he memorizes it all), then he will not be returned to decrepit old age.'' Ibn Jarir preferred this explanation. Even if this was the meaning, it would not be correct to exclude the believers from this, because some of them are also overcome by the senility of old age
