The 95th chapter of the Noble Qurʾān, Sūrat At-Tīn, recited by Shaikh Badr Al-Turki.
Name:
The chapter has been so named after the very first word "at-tīn".
Theme and Subject Matter:
Its theme is the rewards and punishments of the Hereafter. For this purpose, first swearing an oath by the habitats of some illustrious Prophets, it has been stated that Allāh has created man in the most excellent of moulds. Although at other places in the Qurʾān, this truth has been expressed in different ways, for example, at some places it has been said: "Allāh appointed man His vicegerent on the earth and commanded the angels to bow down to him" [Al-Baqarah 30,34], [Al-Anʿām 165], [Al-Aʿrāf 11], [Al-Ḥijr 28-29], [An-Naml 62], [Ṣād 71-73], at others that: "Man has become bearer of the Divine trust, which the earth and the heavens and the mountains did not have the power to bear" [Al-Aḥzāb 72], and at still others that: "We honoured the children of Ādam and exalted them above many of Our other creatures" [Al-Isrāʾ 70]. Yet here the statement made on oath in particular by the habitats of the Prophets that man has been created in the finest of molds, signifies that mankind has been blessed with such an excellent mold and nature that it gave birth to men capable of attaining to the highest position of Prophethood, a higher position than which has not been attained by any other creature of Allāh.
Then, it has been stated that there are two kinds of men. Those who in spite of having been created in the finest of moulds, become inclined to evil and their moral degeneration causes them to be reduced to the lowest of the low, and those who by adopting the way of faith and righteousness remain secure from the degeneration and consistent with the noble position, which is the necessary demand of their having been created in the best of moulds. The existence among mankind of both these kinds of men is such a factual thing which no one can deny, for it is being observed and experienced in society everywhere at all times.
In conclusion, this factual reality has been used as an argument to prove that when among the people there are these two separate and quite distinct kinds, how can one deny the judgment and retribution for deeds If the morally degraded are not punished and the morally pure and exalted are not rewarded and both end in the dust alike, it would mean that there is no justice in the Kingdom of Allāh, whereas human nature and common sense demand that a judge should do justice. How then can one conceive that Allāh, who is the most just of all judges, would not do justice?
