Parable of Good and Bad- Reflections Ramadan 19

I love the ayahs in the Qur'an that relate humans to nature in so many different ways.
Here are a few verses from Surah Ibrahim:



See you not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,- of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition. It brings forth its fruit at all times, by the leave of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.


And the parable of an evil Word is that of an evil tree: It is torn up by the root from the surface of the earth: it has no stability.


Allah will establish in strength those who believe, with the word that stands firm, in this world and in the Hereafter; but Allah will leave, to stray, those who do wrong: Allah does what He Wills.


Look at how awful the uprooted tree looks.

What is type of tree is your word like?
