Interpretation of surah At-Tin (The Fig): part 2

However about the olive, the great nutritionists and the scholars who spend their most of the years of life in studying the specialities of various fruits, for the olives and its oil, gave a specific importance and they believe that those who want to live a healthy life must use this elixir of life, a preparation believed to be capable of prolonging a life.

The olive oil is the best friend of the liver and it is highly effective in curing its ailments, the bile’s stone, liver and renal colic and it eliminates the constipation.

For this reason the olive tree is remembered as the sacred tree in the nobleQur’an.

The olive oil is full of various vitamins and consists of sulphur and phosphor, calcium, vitamins, iron and manganese.

The ointments which are produced by the olive oil and garlic, they are highly effective in curing the rheumatic pains. The stones of gallbladder vanish by the help of consuming the olive oil.

In a hadith from Imam Ali ibn Musa Reza it is stated: Olive oil is the best food. It keeps the mouth sweet-smelling and eliminates away the Phlegm (balgham). And it bestows clearness and freshness to the face complexion, strengthen the nervous system, eliminated the ailments, pains and weaknesses and calms down the flames of anger.

We will end this discussion by a hadith from the greatest and kind prophet Muhammad peace be upon him who said: consume the olive oil and grease the body with it as it from a sacred tree.

After mentioning these four vows which are full of contents, answered the vows and thus stated: Certainly we had created the man in a best appearance and system. 

The above term means to give a proper face, a moderate system and excellent qualities to something. Its vast meaning indicates the Exalted God created the man appropriate and capable in every way, physically, spiritually and intellectually and he is created to prepare him to ascend to the greatest and the highest zenith. However the man is a petite body and the Majestic God placed him in the infinite universe and blessed him so vast capabilities where he becomes capable of the gift like: Al-Isra (The Journey by Night) 

After completing the creation of the man, the Praiseworthy God said: Al-Muminun (23:14)

So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.

Although this same man with all his excellent capabilities when he diverts from the right path he will collapse in such a way that he will be drawn towards the asfalus safileen.

Hence in the next ayat it said: Then we returned him to the lowest ground.

It said that always near the high mountains there exists the deep canyons and before the high peaks of man’s perfection exist the dreadful downfall inside the lowest pitch. Surely it had to be like that, as the man is the creature full of talents if he uses it in the productive and positive way he will accomplish the highest peak of honour. And in the case he uses his abundant ability in the negative conduct he will turn out to be the biggest evil and mischief maker and naturally he will thrown into the asfalus safilin.( the last pitch of hell).

However in the next verse it adds: But those who brought the faith and practised the virtuous deeds, for them there is an unending reward.
