Al-Tīn · The Fig
سُورَةُ التين
About this chapter
Sūrat al-Tīn has eight verses and is believed to have been revealed in Mecca. Chronologically, it is regarded to be the twenty-eighth chapter of the Quran, revealed after Sūrat al-Burūj (85). Its name is taken from the first word of its first verse. The chapter introduces itself with four divine oaths (verses 1-3) that set the stage for the verses that follow.
The introduction sets out when the chapter came and what it addresses; the merits gather what the narrations say of reading it. Both are written as units of the tafsir, with their own footnotes.
