Sura Tin
(The Fig)
No.95 (8 verses)
Contents of Sura:
The theme in this Sura, indeed, pivots on the subject of the creation of Man; the finest mould, and the processes of his development and his lowliness. The subject begins with some comprehensive oaths at the beginning of the Sura, and then, after enumerating some of the sources of Man's victory and salvation, it concludes with the emphasis on Resurrection and the absolute Sovereignty of Allah.
The holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) is narrated to have said: "Allah will endow, in this world, the two qualities of safety and certainty to the person who recites it (Sura fin). And, when he dies, He will give him rewards equal to the reward of fasting one day (multiplied) by the number of all those who have recited this Sura." (1)
This Sura has been revealed in Mecca. The evidence is the verse, itself: "And this city of security (Mecca)", containing the demonstrative adjective 'this' which refers to something near.
