Lesson one hundred :Afertile being

Islam's Prophet( S. A. )said:

مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ النَّخْلَةِ ما أَخذْتَ مِنْها مِنْ شَى‌ءٍ نَفَعَكَ‌

Translation

A believer is like a palm tree, whatsoever you take away from it, is useful and profitable..

Brief description

Palm tree is actually one of the very fertile trees.

Its fruit is eaten as one of the best foods. Sometimes its stone is burnt, and also mat, hat, table- cloth and such like are woven by its leaves.

Its wood is used in construction of simple buildings and even they are used as bridge for passing through streams. A sort of fragrant and useful essence is extracted from its blossom. In other words, no part of it is useless and shall be discarded.

The believers are the same. Their thoughts are useful, their speeches are profitable, their meetings give lesson, their religion is reforming and they are loyal in friendship, strong in decisionand that is to say everything of them is worthy.
