Allah The Wise and The All-Knowing created us perfectly, and when anybody thinks and speculates about the creation of Man he will wonder a lot about how Allah formed our bodies from nothingness, gave us a soul, mind, and consciousness to be the most beautiful creature in the whole universe.
Surah At Tin (Arabic: سورة التين ) mentions this fact to us in a very simple handsome way and its benefits and virtues are introduced in a few points:
- Al Tin reminds Man to be grateful to Allah for honoring him as his most fine creature. Allah gifted us with the best body containing plenty of organs that work together in a precisely tuned system, a stunning mind to think with, and emotions to feel, so we have to use all these gifts wisely.
- We have to think carefully before taking any action in this life because every choice we make has a consequence, so take care of your own choices.
- Trust Allah’s Judgement because He is the fairest, but at the same time always remember that all your deeds and actions are recorded and counted by him, so try to be good as much as you can.
What is surah at tin about?
The Holy Quran is used to deliver a certain message in every surah, and this message is always important not only to Muslims but to Mankind.
Surah tin is talking about how Allah the great creator, created man in the best form with a perfect body, mind, and consciousness and selected him from all his other creatures to bear his message on earth.
Allah appointed Man to be the chosen and promoted his class even above the Angels themselves and made the Angels bow down to him, but unfortunately, Man returned this grace by denial and turning away from Allah and his commandments. And this is why Allah appointed any disobedient from mankind to the hellfire as his last destination, but this destination is just a consequence of Man’s own choice, not because Allah is unjust, as He is The Most Fairest.

surah tin mishary
Why was Surah At Tin revealed?
At the beginning of Surah Al Teen Allah The All-Knowing had mentioned 2 kinds of fruits; Figs and Olives.
Olives and Figs in Quran had been introduced for their great benefits and at the same time as an indication of their cultivation places. This declares that the Quran is meant to give us metaphoric signs for two important locations in the history of revelation. The 1st location is in Jerusalem and Jerusalem’s mountain where olives are planted and the place Prophet Jesus (Peace Upon Him) received the message from Allah from when was sent to Israelis to deliver.
The 2nd location is the Mount of Sinai where Prophet Moses (Peace Upon Him) received Allah’s Message and became a messenger.
You certainly have to wonder when you know that Allah had named “Mount Sinai” “Seeneen Mountain ،طور سينين” in At Tin Surah, and this name is a Hebrew name given by Israelis to that mountain. And after you get to know that although Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) was illiterate nor had Jewish neighbors living in Mecca, then you will be assured that Quran is an authentic revelation that was sent by Allah to his prophet, and Muhammed (PBUH) is his true prophet.
This means that the main reason for the revelation of Surah teen is to prove to the disbelievers and the deniers of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and his message from other religions that he is the seal of all prophets sent by Allah to the whole of Mankind.
Where was surah al teen revealed?
Best narrations about the place of revelation of Surah Theen mentioned that it was revealed in Mecca, and this was concluded by Muslim scholars because Verse no.3 “وَهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ”, “ And this entrusted City”, is referring to Mecca the sacred and Holy land of Allah and the residence of his honored Prophet Muhammed. This mention guided most Scholars that Allah pointed to Mecca at the time when Prophet Muhammed was sent to his people and this is a clear indication that Al Tin was revealed there.
When was surah al teen revealed?
The most proximate time of revelation:
Specifying the period of the revelation of Holy Quran chapters took great efforts from the Muslim scholars, because of the delay of documentation of the timing of revelation of each Surah by Prophet Muhammed’s Companions “Sahabah” (May Allah be pleased with them) and their students. As a result of that delay, Muslim scholars who came after them were doing their best to detect the precise timing and this is why many of them were called “ Mujtahed”, “ Diligent” (Arabic: مجتهد).
The Majority of Muslim scholars agreed that Surah At Tin was revealed in a period from 610 to 615 AD. approximately, after Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) was sent to his people to deliver them the message of Allah, and they introduced this opinion after studying the structure and the composition of Surah At Teen and its verses (Ayat), and collected the most correct sayings delivered to them from the students of Companions of Prophet Muhammed.
Why the surah was named At Tin?
The Companions of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), used to name chapters of the Quran by a word or more mentioned inside them. And this is a reasonable way for them to differentiate a chapter from another, so this is why they were picking the most unique word or more found in a Sura to be specific.
At Tin Surah was named by this name (Arabic: التين, “Ateen”), which means “The Figs” or “The Fig Tree” in English, because this word was used at the beginning of Surah Teen as an Oath from Allah, referring to the place of descending of Allah’s revelation upon Prophet Jesus (Peace Upon Him) in Jerusalem, where Jerusalem was famous and well known by cultivating of Fig trees as mentioned all over the history.
Swearing the word “At Tin” is giving a solid proof from Allah to all the disbelievers and to the mankind that Prophet Muhammed is a true prophet, because he had never traveled away from the Arabian Peninsula or went to Palestine, nor had Jewish or Christian neighbors and companions, so how come he new this specific information about Prophet Jesus and his place of revelation? this was certainly a prediction that Allah revealed to him in particular to be a testimony of his honesty and credibility to the whole of mankind.
Is Surah Al Teen makki or madani?
Although there are two different opinions about the place of revelation of At Tin Surah, the first that it is a Makki and the second that it is a Madani, the predominant opinion decided by Muslim scholars that it as a Makki period and place of revelation, as most of them agreed that Allah was pointing to Mecca in his oath saying: “ And this entrusted City”.
In which para is Surah At Tin?
Surah Al Teen is the 95th surah in order of the Holy Quran Suras and it is located in part no.30 (Al Juza’ 30), with 8 Verses (Ayat),34 words, and it was revealed after Surah Al Burooj directly.

Surah Al Teen Summary:
Punishment and reward were introduced in the Holy Quran to teach Muslims that there will be consequences for their actions in this life.
1-Allah started Surah Tin with an oath swearing by Figs, Olives, and Mount Sinai in Verses No.1 and 2, pointing to the two sacred places where he sent his first messages to prophets Jesus and Moses (Peace Upon Them)
2-In Verse No.3 Allah swore by Mecca as the third location for Islam revelation.
Allah swore by those 3 places to highlight the importance of the meaning of the Verses (Ayat) coming after his oaths.
3-Verse No.4 Allah mentions that He created Man in the most perfect shape to show that He raised Man above all His other creatures in rank.
4-Surah Theen describes the idea of punishment and rewards waiting for all humans as a result of their selection in life and this is clear when Verse No.5 tells us That: Allah will turn this noble creature into the lowest of the low (a metaphor which means that his last destination will be Hell because of his denial and disbelieving)
5-On the contrary Verse No.6 of Surah At Tin is showing that: People who believed and done well in this life are certainly excluded from Allah’s punishment and shall be rewarded with the greatest reward and prize ever in the heavens, living happily ever after.
6-After summarising the idea of punishment and reward, Surah Al teen goes on in Verses 6-7 Asking Man: “Why you falsify and deny that the word of Allah and the fact of resurrection after all the clues He had sent to you”, “Isn’t Allah the wisest Judge among all other judges?”
Allah The Almighty is fair and will punish and reward according to Man’s choices and actions.
“What comes around goes around.”
