Fruit of the Tree (Islam) at every season

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.

 وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَٰمٌ 23

23.  And those who believed and did good works are made to enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein abiding for ever by permission of their Lord. Their greeting therein: Peace!

23.  Wa  ‘ud-khilallaziina  ‘aa-manuu  wa  ‘amilus-saali-haati  Jannaatin-  tajrii  min-  tahti-hal-‘anhaaru  khaali-diina  fiihaa  bi-‘izni-  Rabbihim.  Tahiyya-tuhum  fiihaa  salaam.

 

Commentary

 

Tahiyya-tun – (greeting), explanation of this word has passed in Suratun-Nisaaa’. When two persons or groups see one another mutually, they say something. At that time, which word comes out at first, is as though, a gift, greeting. This should be the best word. For it, among the Muslims, Salaam (Compliment) is the best word (to send compliments and to return the compliments), which contains meaning for this world – “Live with good health”, and for dwelling in the Gardens after completion of accounts reckoning in the Hereafter – their greeting will be “Peace!”. Origin of the word tahiyya-tun is tah-ye-yatun, which has been derived from the word Hayyii. Word Hayaat has come out from the same which means “Life”. Saying one another: Peace! is as though; announcement of one’s desire that the other should live long peacefully. There can be no greeting (tahiyya-tun) better than it at the time of meeting with one another. Such people who have been convinced recently of “Live and let others live!”, they should learn from “Salaam ‘alaykum” of Islam in the beginning, which means “Peace with you”. This sound has been echoing in the ear of mankind with effect from the beginning of Islam (nearly 599 AD).

 

It is commanded: the people who believed in Allah Almighty and did always good works described by Him, they shall be admitted in the Gardens for dwelling. These Gardens will be verdant and fresh. They will live in the upland, underneath which rivers of clean and transparent water will be flowing. Their hearts will feel comfort and eyes will get coldness. This all will be by the permission of Allah Almighty. Once, if they entered there, then they will never come out. And they will live there for ever with pleasantness as their minds may desire. Everywhere will be peace and safety. At the time of meeting, their greeting for one another will be “Peace! and Peace!”, which will be congratulations and salutations for one another being fortunate.
