Surah Ibrahim (Abraham ) 14 : 26

وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ ٱجْتُثَّتْ مِن فَوْقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِن قَرَارٍ

And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any stability.

1. Lessons/Guidance/Reflections/Gems

[ edit ]

* The Prophet Muhammad [saw] specifically likened the hypocrite to a plant that is easily pushed around and knocked down by the wind (see 'al-Lu`lu' wal-Marjan,' hadith #1791). So, don't be affected by them, no matter how many are paraded before you by the wind. Pity them, thank God for saving you from their fate, and move on. For them, Islam was merely a hobby, a flavour of the week. 

Explanatory Note

This verse provides several elements that contribute to the concept of stability associated with the good, firm tree. It is painted here as having firm roots, well entrenched in the earth, its branches stretching wide on the horizon, giving the clear impression of solidity, strength and firmness. As this great tree is compared to a good word. And just like the bad tree that is uprooted from the face of the earth.

The good tree with its good fruit and stretching, cool shade, and the good word that survives one generation after another, contain together the great truth of the one message which never changes, namely the message of the oneness of God, the Almighty.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

It appears from the tone of this Surah that it belongs to a group of Surahs which were revealed during the last stages of the Makkan period. For instance ayah 13: “And those who disbelieved said to their messengers, “We will surely drive you out of our land, or you must return to our religion.” So their Lord inspired to them, “We will surely destroy the wrongdoers.” clearly indicates that the persecution of the Muslims was most intense at the time of the revelation of this Surah and that the people of Makkah were bent on expelling the Muslims, just like the disbelievers of the former Prophets.
