According to the Quran, man must be like a good tree. A good tree is a
natural analogy for a good man. The translation of the relevant verses
is a follows:
“Do you not see how God compares a good word to a good tree? Its root
is firm and its branches are in the sky, it yields its fruit each
season with its Lord’s permission- God makes such comparisons for
people, in order that they may take heed.” (14:24:25)
The tree is a unique phenomenon of nature; moreover, the tree sets an
example for man. It is required of man that he translates this tree
culture into his own life. A good man is one who is like a good tree.
What is a tree? A tree beings from a seed, turn into a plant, then a
strong trunk, then branches and leaves, and then flowers and fruits. A
stone cannot grow, but a tree always grows till it becomes a complete
lush green tree with many fine attributes. The same is required of us.
One must develops himself like a tree. Where the tree develops itself in
physical terms, man must develop the same qualities in terms of
morality.
Every human beings should firmly establish himself on his roots; he
should be strong like a tree trunk, have a vibrant character like
the leaves, prove himself fruitful for society, he should convey for
people positive vibrations of life, just as a tree supplies fresh oxygen
to man, and he should provide shelter to his fellow human beings. A
tree is a giver member of our world. It gives everything, but on a
unilateral basis. Similar behaviour is required of both men and
women.
