1 The Fig

وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ

By the figs and the olives (might refer to Mt. of olives just outside the wall of AL-Quds (Jerusolem) where Isa (Jesus) was sent or to the parable of Allah's light) – see Y.Ali, note, 619

Waaltteeni waalzzaytooni

وَطُورِ سِينِينَ

And by Mount Sinai (where, Allah declared in words His Supreme Majesty to Mussa (Moses)

Watoori seeneena

وَهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ

And by this town -Macca-, the haven which confers security (where you Muhammad were chosen for the final mission

Wahatha albaladi al-ameeni

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ

We created man in the best of shape and form and distinctly upright

Laqad khalaqna al-insana fee ahsani taqweemin

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَاهُ أَسْفَلَ سَافِلِينَ

Then We abased the proud to an inhabitant of the realm of Hell in requital of his ill-deeds

Thumma radadnahu asfala safileena

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

But not those who believed with hearts impressed with religious and spiritual virtues and deeds of wisdom and piety; these will have passed through nature to Eternity

فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِالدِّينِ

أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ

Is Allah not the Most just of all judges Who will compensate those who were wronged in life and were oppressed and their grievances no one ever redressed

Alaysa Allahu bi-ahkami alhakimeena
