Have you not considered how Allah sets forth a parable of a good word (being) like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in heaven,

And you dwell in the abodes of those who were unjust to themselves, and it is clear to you how We dealt with them and We have made (them) examples to you.

See what they liken you to! So they have gone astray and cannot find the way.

See what likenesses do they apply to you, so they have gone astray, therefore they shall not be able to find a way.

But how will it be when the angels cause them to die smiting their backs.
