H Q’:God is not ashamed to strike a similitude
even o a gnat, or anything beyond it; as or the believers, they know it is the truth
rom their Lord; but as or disbelievers, they
say, ‘What did God desire by this or a si-militude?’ Thereby, He leads many astray and thereby He guides many; and thereby He leads none astray except the wicked. ( l-aqara, 2:26)
O mankind, a similitude is being struck, so
listen to it : truly those on whom you call be-sides God will never create a y even i they rallied together to do so. And i a y should take away something rom them, they would not be able to recover that rom it. Feebleis the seeker and the [thing] sought. ( l-ajj,

(B) Cha nging our World
G :Do you not see how God strikes similitudes? A good word is as a good tree. Its roots are rm and its branches reach up into heaven.It gives orth its ruits in every season, by
the leave o its Lord / And the similitude o a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted rom
upon the earth, having no stability. / God conrms those who believe by a rm saying in the lie o this world and in the Hereafer;and God sends astray the evildoers; and God
does what He will (brahim, 14:24-27)
