˹always˺ yielding its fruit in every season by the Will of its Lord. This is how Allah sets forth parables for the people, so perhaps they will be mindful.
          
            14:25
          
        
        
          And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree, uprooted from the earth, having no stability.
          
            14:26
          
        
        
          Allah makes the believers steadfast with the firm Word ˹of faith˺1 in this worldly life and the Hereafter. And Allah leaves the wrongdoers to stray. For Allah does what He wills.
          
            14:27
          
        
        
          Have you not seen those ˹disbelievers˺ who meet Allah’s favours with ingratitude and lead their own people to their doom?
          
            14:28
          
        
        
          In Hell they will burn. What an evil place for settlement.
          
            14:29
          
        
        
          They set up equals to Allah to mislead ˹others˺ from His Way. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Enjoy yourselves! Surely your destination is the Fire.”
          
            14:30
          
        
        
          Tell My believing servants to establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them—openly and secretly—before the arrival of a Day in which there will be no ransom or friendly connections.
          
            14:31
          
        
        
          It is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down rain from the sky, causing fruits to grow as a provision for you. He has subjected the ships for your service, sailing through the sea by His command, and has subjected the rivers for you.
          
            14:32
          
        
        
          He has ˹also˺ subjected for you the sun and the moon, both constantly orbiting, and has subjected the day and night for you.
          
            14:33
