From a certain tree, sweet fruit grows. Although that fruit is only one part, yet God has chosen and distinguished that part above the whole, for in it God deposited a sweetness that He did not deposit in the rest. By virtue of that flavor, that part became superior to the whole, and proved the pith and purpose of the tree. So God declares:
“Nay, but they wonder that a warner has come to them from amongst themselves.”

Maulana Rumi
