What is Required of a Human Being? similarly opportunities arise in abundance and if one opportunity is lost, then another is immediately there to be availed of. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF A HUMAN BEING? Living in society one should follow justice and be patient. He should think whether or not his conduct is consistent with his being human. C hapter 14 of the Quran states: “Do you not see how God compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches are in the sky, it yields its fruit each season with its Lord’s permission—God makes such comparisons for people, in order that they may take heed.” (14:24-25) It is a rule of nature that fruit-bearing trees should bear fruit in their proper season. When the season approaches, flowers blossom on the branches and very soon they bear fruit. Giving fruit at the right time is the virtue of a tree.
