The Holy Quran 14:24 — Surah Ibrahim

Arabic text

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ

Translation

Do you not see (reflect upon) how Allaah gives the example of the pure word (the Kalimah) as a pure tree (such as the date palm), the roots of which are set firm and the branches of which reach into the sky (it is firm beneath and above the ground).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
