Transliteration:( Wa toori sineen )
The phrase "And by Mount Sinai" refers to the sacred mountain where Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) spoke to Allah Almighty. The term Tūr means "mountain," and Sinai refers to a lush green jungle surrounding this blessed location. Their mention emphasizes their sacredness and connection to divine revelation, as they are closely linked to Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him).
Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) was a seeker of divine guidance, and the Taurat (Torah) was the object of his desire. He traveled to Mount Sinai to receive the Book. In contrast, for the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the roles are reversed: the Holy Prophet is the object of desire, and the Holy Quran is the seeker, coming to him as a divine revelation.
At Hudaibiyya, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) placed his blessed hand to represent Hazrat Uthman’s hand, declaring it to be the Hand of Allah. This further highlights Hazrat Uthman’s deep association with the Quran and his role as a medium through which divine guidance reached the people.
The tafsir of Surah Tin verse 2 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Tin ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 8.
(95:2) and by the Mount Sinai,[2]
2. The words in the original are Tur-i-Sinin. Sinin is another name for the Sinai Peninsula. It is called Saina or Sina as well as Sinin. In the Quran itself at one place the words Tur-i-Sinin have been used. Since the land in which Mt. Sinai is located is well known as Sina, we have adopted this well known name in the translation.
