A similitude coined by God

Surah ‘Ibraahiim (Abraham) - 14

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ 24

تُؤْتِىٓ أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍۭ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ 25

24.  Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A Goodly Saying, as a goodly tree, its root set firm, its branches reaching into heaven- 25.  Giving its fruit at every season by permission of its Lord? And Allah coineth the similitudes for mankind in order that they may reflect.

24.  ‘Alam  tara  kayfa  zara-bAllaahu  masalan-  Kalimatan  Tay-yi-batan-  ka-shajaratin  tayyi-batin  ‘as-luhaa  saabitunw-wa  far-‘uhaa  fis-samaaa’. 25.  Tu’-tiii  ‘ukulahaa  kulla  hii-nim-  bi-‘izni  Rabbihaa.  Wa  yazri-bUllaahul-‘amsaala  lin-naasi  la-‘allahum  yata-zakka-ruun.

   

Commentary

For your guidance, Allah Almighty coins a similitude. So you should reflect into it. Belief and good works (both) collectively give a form to the religion Islam. This Religion (Islam) is like that pure and clean tree, root of which has been set firm deeply in the land, to which, external disasters and fast winds etc. cannot shake from its basement. Its branches have been spreading towards the sky on all directions, and from it, tasteful and advantageous fruit is available at every season, and by the permission of Allah Almighty, its blessings have been spreading all around.

Like this, you should consider the Islam – a Tree, root of which is “Correct Credence” and body of which is “Laa  ‘ilaaha  ‘illAllaahu Muhammadur-RasuulUllaah” {(None is worthy of worship but God; Muhammad is Messenger of God) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)}. How much the root will be strong, the body will also be stronger so much. Its branches are “Good Works”, which have been spreading into heaven. The person, who will plant this Tree, will taste its fruit. With the Grace of God Almighty, its useful fruit will be available always, which shall never come to an end.
