Tafsir of Verse 64, Surah As-Saaffaat
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
English Translation
Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,English Transliteration
Innaha shajaratun takhruju fee asli aljaheemiTafsir of Verse 64
It is a tree that comes forth in the root of Hell;
For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-Fire:
Allah Ta'ala gave an answer in a single sentence by saying: إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِي أَصْلِ الْجَحِيمِ (That is a tree that comes out in the bottom of Jahannam - 37:64). Thus, neither does it mean date and butter, nor the objection as to how could a tree survive in fire hold valid - particularly when that tree owes its very origin to the fire itself. Hence, Allah Ta ala has placed such properties in it that instead of getting burnt in fire, it is actually nurtured by it. For example, there are many life forms that would survive only in fire that does not burn them, in fact, makes them grow.
