The questioner : What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Ibrahim 14:25]?
The Shaykh : Yes, the intended meaning is this good tree whose root is firmly established and whose branch is in the sky. No year of the years or time of the times in which there is fruit passes by without it yielding it. That is, it yields its edible fruit at all times. By “at all times,” it means at all times of the fruit season, not at all times of day and night every year. No.
It produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord.
