Juz 13: Who the like a Date Palm?

Series: 30 days 30 Juz 30 Ayahs
Surah: Surah Ibrahim 24

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًۭا كَلِمَةًۭ طَيِّبَةًۭ كَشَجَرَةٍۢ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌۭ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ٢٤

Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches reach the sky.

Here a good word is La ilaha iallah and a good tree is momin. The roots of this good word are fixed inside the heart of a momin and its branches are reaching the sky. Which means his good deeds goes high in the sky and spread everywhere. 

Rasool SAW gave the example of momin with the date palm. Its roots are strong. So the momin don't get shattered when clamity hits him.

The more it goes up the more straight it gets.

Its is ever green and gives fruit the whole year which means momin is the one who always spreads good and is not controlled by his mood.  

It gives fruit in the toughest weather conditions which means no matter what happens to a momin he does not stop his good work. 

Its fruit is beneficial for everyone. So the deeds of a momin benefits.

Who's the One keeping it intact? Look! look into your eyes Wonder! wonder about your hearing Feel your heart Who has provided this? The One who is caring He is Al-Khaliq, who creates He is Al-Baari, who originates He is Ar-Rehman He is Ar-Raheem Maria_thelightseeker (INSPIRED by SURAH MULK)

Staring up on the sky Observing the morning bells As the light spreads gradually Difficult times fade away naturally But the light? It struck me! Light is the Quran Morning is the Furqan Maria_thelightseeker (Inspired by Surah Takweer)

This is how Allah depicted the consequences of having a diseased friend in Qur'an: وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى ٱتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًۭا And beware of the Day the wrongdoer will bite his nails in regret and say, “Oh! I wish I had followed the Way along with the Messenger! يَـٰوَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِى لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًۭا  Woe to me! I wish I had never taken so-and-so as a close friend.
