وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ اجْتُثَّتْ مِن فَوْقِ الْأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِن قَرَارٍ
14:26 Kalimat Khabîthaكَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ is an evil word, a forged holy book or any holy book that is changed and rewritten by human hands claiming to be of divine origin. The unholy word can be compared to an infirm and sickly tree that can be uprooted from above the earth easily as its roots do not reach deep into the earth and cannot support the process of nutrition. Such a tree does not prosper and cannot bear any fruit. The unholy word symbolized by the tree cannot withstand criticism or scrutiny. The laws of nature and requirements of wisdom do not support its teachings. Its teachings fail to produce holy persons who have a real connection with Allâh.
