فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا وَفَـٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
The Surah begins with the incident of a blind man (Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum) who came to the Prophet to seek knowledge, while the chiefs of Makkah were denying the message. It talks about the greatness of Allah’s message. Those who will accept this message they will benefit from it. But those who deny this message they are bringing harm to their own selves.

Quran 6:99

And He is the One Who sends down rain from the sky— causing all kinds of plants to grow— producing green stalks from which We bring forth clustered grain. And from palm trees come clusters of dates hanging within reach. ˹There are˺ also gardens of grapevines, olives, and pomegranates, similar ˹in shape˺ but dissimilar ˹in taste˺. Look at their fruit as it yields and ripens! Indeed, in these are signs for people who believe. Quran 6:99
Al-An’am (Arabic: ٱلأنعام, al-ʾanʿām; meaning: The Cattle) is the sixth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 165 verses (āyāt).

اور وہی ہے جس نے آسمان سے پانی برسایا، پھر اس کے ذریعہ سے ہر قسم کی نباتات اگائی، پھر اس سے ہرے ہرے کھیت اور درخت پیدا کیے، پھر ان سے تہ بہ تہ چڑھے ہوئے دانے نکالے اور کھجور کے شگوفوں سے پھلوں کے گچھے کے گچھے پیدا کیے جو بوجھ کے مارے جھکے پڑتے ہیں، اور انگور، زیتون اور انار کے باغ لگائے جن کے پھل ایک دوسرے سے ملتے جلتے بھی ہیں اور پھر اُن کے پکنے کی کیفیت ذرا غور کی نظر سے دیکھو، اِن چیزوں میں نشانیاں ہیں اُن لوگوں کے لیے جو ایمان لاتے ہیں
Paying attention carefully to the contents of the verses of this Surah can remove the soul of hypocrisy and disperse from among Muslims, and cause the ears to be hearing, the eyes to be clear-sighted, and the hearts (minds) to be knowledgeable.

Quran 24:35

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His light is like a niche in which there is a lamp, the lamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining star, lit from ˹the oil of˺ a blessed olive tree, ˹located˺ neither to the east nor the west, whose oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light ! Allah guides whoever He wills to His light. And Allah sets forth parables for humanity. For Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things. Quran 24:35

Quran 95:1~8

By the fig and the olive and by mount Sinai and by this safe land (that) We have certainly created human being in the best form, then We return him to the lowest of the low except those who believe and do good, then they will have an unending reward. So what makes you deny the religion (or the Judgment Day) after this? Is not God the wisest of the judges? Quran 95:1~8
This Surah takes its name after the first Ayat, وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ “By the fig and the olive” [95:1]. The word “fig” only appears in this Surah and nowhere else in the Qur’an.
There are 8 Ayat in this Surah.

وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيْتُون وَطُورِ سِينِينَ وَهَذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ ‎ ‏‎‏لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍۢ ‎ ‏ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَهُ أَسْفَلَ سَفِلِينَ ‎ ‏إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّلِحَتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۢ ‎ ‏فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِٱلدِّينِ ‎ ‏أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ ٱلْحَكِمِينَ
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 God has created man in the most excellent of moulds. Although at other places in the Qur’an, this truth has been expressed in different ways, for example, at some places it has been said: “God appointed man His vicegerent on the earth and commanded the angels to bow down to him” (Surah 2: al-Baqarah (The Cow) 30,34, Surah 6: al-An’am (The Grazing Livestock) 165, Surah 7: al-A’raf (The Elevations) 11, Surah 15: al-Hijr (The Valley of Stone) 28,29, Surah 27: an-Naml (The Ants) 62) 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” (Surah 33: al-Ahzab (The Confederates) 72); and at still others that: “And We have certainly honoured the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.” (Surah 17: al-Isra’ (The Night Journey) 70), yet here the statement made an oath in particular by the habitats of the Prophets that man has been created in the finest of moulds, signifies that mankind has been blessed with such an excellent mould 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 God
انجیر کی قسم اور زیتون اور طور سینا اور اس امان والے شہر کی بیشک ہم نے آدمی کو اچھی صورت پر بنایا، پھر اسے ہر نیچی سے نیچی حالت کی طرف پھیردیا مگر جو ایمان لائے اور اچھے کام کیے کہ انہیں بے حد ثواب ہے تو اب کیا چیز تجھے انصاف کے جھٹلانے پر باعث ہے کیا اللہ سب حاکموں سے بڑھ کر حاکم نہیں،
Then, it has been stated that there are two kinds of men; those who in spite of having been created in the finest of mould, 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 molds. 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 God; whereas human nature and common sense demand that a judge should do justice. How then can one conceive that God, Who is the most just of all judges, would not do justice?
