The Miracle of the Fig 6 CD Set

The Miracle of the Fig 6 CD Set

For the first time in history a classically trained traditional scholar from the east offers English-speaking students in the west a detailed and clear tafsir (exegesis) of an entire chapter of the Qur’an in the English language. Internationally renowned scholar and lecturer, Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi, delivers over 6 incredible hours of tafsir on Sura al-Teen (Chapter of the Fig) in this amazing 6 CD set.

Shaykh Muhammad begins the tafsir by explaining how Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala) created man in the best of molds and how this flawless physical design carries through the different stages of human life; from the womb to infancy, infancy to youth, youth to adulthood, adulthood to old age, and finally until death.

He further explains how Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala) made the fig tree an example that symbolizes the human being’s various phases of spiritual development: faith, guidance, misguidance and disbelief. Describing the physical qualities of the fig itself, Shaykh Muhammad narrates a beautiful hadith in which someone presented the Prophet (pbuh) a plate of figs and he said, “Eat figs! If I would say a certain type of fruit was sent down to us from the heavens I would say it’s a fig because it has no seeds.” Shaykh Muhammad then explains how the seeds of the fig are the edible part of the fruit and how the fig tree is one of the fewest trees in existence that does not have blossoms. Acknowledging the similitude of the human creation and the fig, Shaykh Muhammad eloquently points out that the blossoms of the fig tree are within it, just as the blossom of the believer is within him, in his heart. Many spiritual insights abound in this one of a kind series!
