Surah at tin meaning in English is The Fig.Like many other chapters in the 30th chapter of the Quran, the chapter starts with oaths. The fig, the olive, Mount Sinai, and the Holy City of Makkah are the four subjects on which the beginning of Surah Tin opens with an oath. Hazrat Al-Bara Ibn Azib stated, “I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, reciting in the evening prayer, wa tini wa zaitun,'” (95:1); his voice is the most beautiful I have ever heard”.
Some comprehensive oaths open the surah wateen. This chapter’s theme focuses on man’s lofty rank, his fall from grace, and the reward or punishment that awaits these two groups: those who uphold their Divine dignity and those who do not. The 95th chapter of the Holy Quran, Sura Tin, also known as watini wa zaitun surah. (surat) surah at Tin Ayat 4 discusses how superior man is in the creation. Surat at Tin Ayat 5 shows that the same man can also slip into a situation worse than an animal. This, the events leading up to it, the Day of Judgment ( surah at tin ayat 6), the reward for those who uphold the Divine honour bestowed upon them in creation, and those who do not are all covered in this chapter.

وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونِ(1) وَطُورِ سِينِينَ(2) وَهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ ٱلۡأَمِينِ(3) لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِيٓ أَحۡسَنِ تَقۡوِيمٖ(4) ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَٰهُ أَسۡفَلَ سَٰفِلِينَ(5) إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونٖ(6) فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعۡدُ بِٱلدِّينِ(7) أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحۡكَمِ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ(8)
Bismillaah hir rahmaan nir raheem
Wat teeni waz zaitoon
Wa toori sineen
Wa haazal balad-il ameen
Laqad khalaqnal insaana fee ahsani taqweem
Thumma ra dad naahu asfala saafileen
Ill-lal lazeena aamanoo wa ‘amilus saalihaati; falahum ajrun ghairu mamnoon
Fama yu kaz zibuka b’adu bid deen
Alai sal laahu bi-ahkamil haakimeen
Surat tin in English translation is:
By the Fig and the Olive ,And {by} mount Sinai,And {by} this safe city {Makkah}! Certanily,we have created man in the best manner. Then We returned it to the lowest of the low, except for those who believeand do righteous deeds. For them will be a reward unlike any other. So what yet causes you to deny the Final Judgment? Is not Allah the most just of judges?
قسم ہے انجیر کی اور زیتون کی(1) اور(قسم) طور سِینِین کی(2) اور اس (قسم)امن والے شہر کی(3) یقیناً ہم نے انسان کو بہترین صورت میں پیدا کیا(4)پھر اسے نیچوں سے نیچا کر دیا(5) لیکن جو لوگ ایمان ﻻئے اور (پھر) نیک عمل کیے تو ان کے لئے ایسا اجر ہے جو کبھی ختم نہ ہوگا(6)پس تجھے اب روز جزا کے جھٹلانے پر کون سی چیز آماده کرتی ہے(7) کیا اللہ تعالیٰ (سب) حاکموں کا حاکم نہیں ہے(8)
