The two trees could be allusions to Damascus and the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem , and the "safe area" is commonly understood to mean the city of Mecca.

The second part, with verses 4 to 6, describes the person who was first created as God's creation in “the most beautiful, even shape” and then brought into the “lowest of the lower classes”, including age or what is meant for wrongdoers Hellfire is understood.
