The Fairest of Statures

…the man, the olive, the fig and tur-u-sinin

The fairest of statures relates to the man, to the olive and the fig, wile as the fairest of environment relates to tur-u-sinin, as enshrined in the Chapter 95 of Al-Quran:

By the fig and the olive, and tur-u-sinin, and this land secure: We  indeed created man in the fairest of statures, and we reduced him to the lowest of low, save those who believe and do the righteous deeds; theirs shall be reward unfailing. What then, after this can contradict you as to the Judgement? Is not Allah the Wisest of Judges’’

The creation and moulding of man within the secrets of ‘the fairest stature’ is a very significant and undeniable law of Divine Order. Man as a whole has the fairest form, shape and structure. He is the most handsome in body and in spirit. In its entirety, the Holy Chapter expresses not only the lofty subtleties of man’s material and spiritual aspects, but also his miserable side, wherein he is reduced to the lowest of low, save who believe and do the righteous deeds. The judgement to provide to man ‘the fairest stature’ or to make him sink to the depth of lowest of low rests with Allah (SwT) the Wisest of Judges. The judgement is exercised on the basis of man’s deeds/Aamal.

The relation to fig, the olive and tur-u-sinin symbolizes’ the fairness in stature’. Olive is a biological treasure. Its biological framework contributes to manufacture of cell membrane, and various activities of brain neurons and sex cells. It contains Vitamin E which plays a role in myocardial (heart muscle) tissue and manufacture of sex cells. The fig is called the ‘plant nectar’ a biochemical treasure house containing a combination of protein, phosphorus and ribose. Tur-u-sinin refers to a hill with an over-growth of greenery, though it is usually translated as Mount Sinai.

The Holy Verse thus relates to the fairest that nature can provide.
