95:3

وَهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ ٱلۡأَمِينِ ٣

and by this secure city [of Makkah][3],

Tafsir Notes

[3] This passage refers to the land of the three great prophets of Allah: Jesus (ﷺ) lived in the land of figs and olives, Moses (ﷺ) communicated with Allah on Mount Sinai, and Muhammad's (ﷺ) birthplace was Makkah. There is a similar reference in Deuteronomy 33:1, [Moses said:] “The Lord came from Sinai. Rising from Seir upon us, and he shone forth from Mount Paran.” Seir is a mountain near Jerusalem, and Paran is a mountain near Makkah.

95:4

لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِيٓ أَحۡسَنِ تَقۡوِيمٖ ٤

Surely We have created man in the best form[4],

Tafsir Notes

[4] i.e., in upright and balanced form and nature.

95:5

ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَٰهُ أَسۡفَلَ سَٰفِلِينَ ٥

then We will reduce him to the lowest of the low[5],

Tafsir Notes

[5] i.e., to the depths of Hell due to deviation from uprightness; or to decrepit old age.

95:6

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونٖ ٦

except those who believe and do righteous deeds; they will have a never-ending reward.

95:7

فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعۡدُ بِٱلدِّينِ ٧

Then, what makes you deny the Judgment Day?

95:8

أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحۡكَمِ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ ٨

Is not Allah the Most Just of all judges?
