Question:
His other question says: What is the wisdom behind the oath of Allah the Exalted in His saying:[At-Tin 95:1-2]?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) swears by whatever He wills from His creation. As for the created being, he does not swear except by Allah the Exalted; whoever swears by other than Allah has committed disbelief or associated partners with Allah. As for the Creator (Exalted and Majestic is He), He swears by whatever He wills from His creation, and He does not swear except by something great that has a secret. So Allah swore by the fig, which is a type of fruit, and by the olive likewise, because of the great benefits these two types have and the great divine secret contained in them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
