What does this mean 'a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and......'
I saw a sentence 'A good word is like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and whose top is in the sky.', then I try to get more information by searching the internet.

It turned out a passage like this;
“Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches (high) in the sky? Producing its fruit all the time by the permission of its Lord. And Allah presents examples for the people that perhaps they will be reminded.” (Surah Ibrahim:24-25)

Could you please tell me the meaning about the above sentence and the passage? (and please explain it in a simple way)
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Answer

'A good word is like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and whose top is in the sky.' 
I might not be 100% correct, but I would interpret that sentence in the following way -

If you think of a tree, something beautiful and very strong comes to mind. Trees shade us from the sun and protect us from harsh weather. 
So ‘a good word’ is similar to a tree because it is comforting and powerful, and can really have a positive effect on the people that come into contact with it.

A tree with ‘firmly fixed roots’ suggests it will not go anywhere soon, it is powerful and will be able to stay where it is and grow very old. So in the same way, powerful words aren’t just forgotten, they are able to stay and impact people for a very long time.

‘Whose top is in the sky’ suggests it can grow very tall and reach very high. This could mean that powerful words are able to reach a far distance and effect many people.

Hope this makes sense and feel free to message if you have any other questions :)

Hi U U, interesting question! 
I have no idea about the religious side of it, but if I were to interpret it linguistically, I would say that it is a kind of metaphor to mean that even though a word has a fixed root, for example, trust, because 'its branches are in the sky,' it can be changed with something like an affix: mistrust, trustful, trustworthy etc. So while the root is always fixed, the rest of the word can change.
