In this world, how many households have been destroyed because the wealth earned by the parent’s hard work was wasted away by their children in useless pursuits. Yet, wh at we receive in the hereafter will be from Allah and its blessing will be everlasting : َﺳ ٰﻠ ٌﻢ ِﻓ ۡﻴ َﻬ ﺎ َﺗ ِﺤ َّﻴ ُﺘ pُۡ [ Their greeting ther e in will be ‘ Peace. ’] (Holy Qur’ ā n Ch. 14: V. 24) In our country, people usually say that the root causes of all feuds are land, wealth , or women. Since lands and streams are mentioned here , the question naturally arises as to whether such feuds will exist in heaven , and will those who live in h eaven quarrel with one another over fields and continue their feuds? For this reason , Allah tells us that each person who meet s another in Heaven, will assure each other that they hold no grudges , that t hey will not harm each other , but rather will pray that God bless es them with peace. H e then says: َﻛ َﺸ َﺠ َﺮ ٍۃ َﻃ ِّﻴ َﺒ ًﺔ َﻛ ِﻠ َﻤ ًﺔ َﻣ َﺜ ًﻼ ا ُّٰﷲ َﺿ َﺮ َب َﻛ ۡﻴ َﻒ َﺗ َﺮ َا َﻟ ۡﻢ ۲۵ ۙ﴿ ا ﻟ َّﺴ َﻤ ﺂ ِء ِيف َّو َﻓ ۡﺮ ُﻋ َﻬ ﺎ َﺛ ﺎ ِﺑ ٌﺖ َا ۡﺻ ُﻠ َﻬ ﺎ َﻃ ِّﻴ َﺒ ٍﺔ ا َۡﻻ ۡﻣ َﺜ ﺎ َل ا ُّٰﷲ َﻳ ۡﻀ ِﺮ ُب َو n َر ِّﺑ َﻬ ﺎ ِﺑ ِﺎ ۡذ ِن ِﺣ ۭۡني ُﻛ َّﻞ ُا ُﻛ َﻠ َﻬ ﺎ ُﺗ ۡﺆ ِۡۤ َﻳ َﺘ َﺬ َّﻛ ُﺮ ۡو َن َﻟ َﻌ َّﻠ pُۡ ِﻟ ﻠ َّﻨ ﺎ ِس “ Dost thou not see how Allah sets forth a parable of a good word? It is like a good tree whose root is firm and whose branches reach into heaven. It brings forth its fruit at all times by the command of its Lord. And
