Muhammad Asad, the author of The Message of The Qur'an comments on these verses as follows:

<<The "fig" and the "olive" symbolize, in this context, the lands in which these trees predominate: i. Muhammad Asad (born Leopold Weiss in July 1900 in what was then Austro-Hungarian Lwów in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Lviv in The Message of the Qur'an is a translation (into English) and interpretation of the Qur'an by Muhammad Asad, an Austrian Jew who converted to e. , the countries bordering on the eastern part of the Mediterranean, especially Palestine and Syria. As it was in these lands that most of the Abrahamic prophets mentioned in the Qur’an lived and preached, these two species of tree may be taken as metonyms for the religious teachings voiced by the long line of those God-inspired men, culminating in the person of the last Judaic prophet, Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth (7–2 BC / BCE —26–36 AD / CE) "Mount Sinai", on the other hand, stresses specifically the apostleship of Moses, inasmuch as the religious law valid before, and up to, the advent of Muhammad - and in its essentials binding on Jesus as well - was revealed to Moses on a mountain of the Sinai Desert.

The specific truth to be considered here is referred to in the next three verses. >>

The cosmology of the Qur'an states that God made mankind out of clay. Cosmology (from Greek grc κοσμολογία - grc κόσμος kosmos, "universe" and grc -λογία -logia) is study The Qur’an ( القرآن, literally "the recitation" also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran God is the principal or sole Deity in Religions and other belief systems that worship one deity. Clay is a naturally occurring material composed primarily of fine-grained Minerals which show plasticity through a variable range of Water content, and This sura suggests not only this, but that the mould which God used for man was "the best possible". The lowness of the clay has set humanity apart from God; because clay is heavier and more solid than fire, from which the Jinn were made, or light, from which the angels came. Fire is the heat and light energy released during a Chemical reaction, in particular a combustion reaction.

God's judgment, for Heaven or Hell, cannot be contradicted, for "Is not God the best of judges?"
