∩∇∪ t⎦⎫ÉΚÅ3≈ptø:$# È/s3ômr'Î/ ª!$# }§øŠs9r&OverviewThe 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 itsultimate perfection. But when man deviates from this upright nature and from thestraight 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, ŢūrSīnīn and the secure city of Makkah, al-balad al-amīn. As we have already seen inmany sūrahs in this part of the Qur’ān, this oath is the framework which perfectly fitsthe essential facts presented within it.The Tar in Sinai is the mountain on which Moses received his divine summons.The secure city is Makkah, which houses the Ka`bah, God’s inviolable house. Therelationship between the two on the one hand and religion and faith on the other isobvious. But a similar relationship is not readily clear with regard to the figs andolives. Suggestions as to the significance of these are numerous. It is said that the figrefers to the fig tree in heaven, with the leaves of which Adam and his wife, Eve,tried to cover their private parts. Another suggestion is that it refers to the placewhere the fig tree appeared on the mountain where Noah’s ark landed.As for the olive, it is suggested that it refers to the Mount of Ţūr Zaitā inJerusalem. It is also said that it refers to Jerusalem itself. Another suggestion is that itrefers to the olive branch brought back by the pigeon which Noah released from theship to examine the state of the foods. When the pigeon brought back an olivebranch, he knew that t e land had reappeared and that vegetation was growing.A different opinion posits that the fig and olive mentioned in the sūrah are simplythose two kinds of food with which we are familiar. Alternatively, it is claimed, theyare symbols of growth out of land.There is another reference in the Qur’ān to the olive tree in association with MountSinai. The verse there reads as follows: “And a tree issuing from Mount Sinai whichbears oil and seasoning for all to eat.” (23: 20) This, however, is the only case wherereference to the fig tree is made in the Qur’ān.Hence, we cannot say anything definite on this matter. However, on the basis ofparallel frameworks in other sūrahs, the most likely explanation of the fig and olivementioned here is that they refer to certain places or events which have somerelevance to religion and faith or to man as the creature fairest in shape and form.This may have been established in heaven where man’s life began.
