The Power of One Word

Qur’an – Surah Ibrahim (14:24–25):
“أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًۭا كَلِمَةًۭ طَيِّبَةًۭ كَشَجَرَةٍۢ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌۭ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ – تُؤْتِىٓ أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍۢ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا”
“Have you not considered how Allah presents an example: a good word is like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches reach to the sky. It produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord.”
