Allah says;

وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ




By At-Tin and Az-Zaytun.

Al-Awfi reported from Ibn Abbas that what is meant by At-Tin is the Masjid of Nuh that was built upon Mount Al-Judi.

"It is this fig that you have."

"It is the Masjid of Jerusalem (Bayt Al-Maqdis)."

Mujahid and `Ikrimah said,

"It is this olive which you press (to extract the oil)."
