Exegesis of Al-Tīn (Q. 95)

In the Name of Allah the Most Merciful the Most Gracious...
He was asked about the exegesis of the statement: {By the Fig and Olive, as well as Mount Sinai and this holy city...}
The {Fig} refers to that which is eaten, and the {Olive} is well known.
„Ali bin Abi Tālib mentioned that Palestine is where both are grown.
By such, Allah makes Palestine a holy place and an area deemed blessed.
Of Palestine, Moses, upon him be peace, related to the Israelites the message:
{O people, enter the blessed land} (Q. 5:21)
Allah mentions {Mount Sinai} as where Moses and the Lord had conversation.
{...this holy city}: The Sanctuary where every boundary is stone marked differentiation.
Of one side from the other so that one may know that it is a part of its station.
Allah only swears by things that He makes as signs, blessings, and magnanimous.
One only swears by revered, noble things. Thus, Allah ennobles the aforementioned.
It is not hidden; rather, by ennobling figs and olives, Allah shows them as benefits.
He also ennobles Mount Sinai by the intimate discourse that took place within it
Between Moses, upon him be peace, And Allah, the Exalted and the Blessed.
Concerning that, the Glorified says: {When he came close, a call was sounded from the right bank of the valley on the blessed spot...} (Q. 28:30). He mentioned it by making it holy and blessed: {...and We called him from the right side of the mount and brought him close in intimate discourse} (Q. 19:52).
The {mount} refers to the aforementioned Mount Sinai. Regarding the Sanctuary,
Allah renders it as ennobled, a security for its people, and a Pilgrimage necessary.
{Verily, We hath created humankind in the best form}
This means that He created humankind in the best mode by joining and division,
By origins and detail, and by form and image; and granted mind, hearing, and vision.
All of this takes place by details. The Glorified created him in just dimensions.
As the Blessed and Exalted says: {O humankind, what prevents thee from thy Noble Lord—the One who created thee, formed thee equitably, and fashioned thee in just proportions; putting thee together in any form that He pleases?!} (Q. 82:6-8).
{Then We abased him to the lowest of the low}
It‟s a debasement that remains to the last age of Adam‟s descendants.
They will remain in that state and in manifest reversal and disparagement.
As, the Glorified says: {When We grant him long life, we reverse him in creation. Will thou not use intellect} (Q. 36:68).
The meaning of {reverse him} is: return him to senility and weakness after strength
Or that he dies upon that before rejection or reverses in falling and Hell after nobility went.
It is a humiliation of disbelief if one doesn‟t reach senility and reverses to Hellfire.
We seek refuge in Allah, after perfection after completion, from this disparagement dire!
So, every person became contemptible and had no perfection or merit inspired.
{...except those who believe and perform righteous deeds. For them, there will be a great reward unending. Then what can belie thee when there comes the Judgment. Is not Allah the Wisest of the Wise?!}
Termination will not occur in the things granted and gifts.
One can never find it in the gifts of Allah, the Generous, the Munificent.
Everything granted by other than Allah is either praiseworthy or not.
It is not free from the inclusion of seeking praise from kindness gotten.
One does not speak regarding kindness with the tongue.
It is because of the one who grants it and gives it to one.
Allah gives the giver what is given to him without cost or suffering.
Every giver, except Allah, is only giving from Allah's blessings governing.
One only gives from what Allah has granted him as his property
And what is for Allah. So, we praise Allah, the One without partner.
He‟s the Giver who can‟t be given to, and also the only One
Who can give to the giver without being given by that one.
