KALIMATAN TAYYIBATAN (A Good Word)

 

00033

In Surah Ibrahim (14:24-25), Allah, Al-Musawwir (The Shaper of Forms and Beauty), illustrates by way of a parable about kalimatan tayyibatan (a good word) comparing it to a good tree. A good tree has several outcomes: growing, bearing abundant fruit, casting shadows, sustaining itself and bearing fruit under all kinds of circumstances. A monotheistic person too is always growing, revealing signs of faith in speech and actions, continuously through the seasons of life, always calling others to Islam and persuading them to do what is right and stay away from what is wrong. Allah, in the Holy Qur’an, refers to other things that are tayyibah (good), such as tawhid (monotheism), iman (faith), correct and sound ideas, the Prophets and their companions and followers. Tawhid is inherently rooted and fixed in our fitrah (human nature), just as a tree is fixed by its roots in the ground. The tree of tawhid is fixed and its branches extend to Paradise. It is impossible to uproot or eradicate it. Only by the permission of the Lord can a tree survive and bear fruit and only by the permission of our Lord can we stay faithful and speak kalimatan tayyibatan and call others to the Way of Allah.
