Here an instance of the said evil tree is mentioned in a figurative language:ِ

      ``Those who change the bounty with blasphemy and ingratitude, and lead their people into the house of perdition....''

      They are the evil heads of unbelief, and the leaders of polytheism, who scatter people from around the prophet and bar them from the way of God. They eventually take their followers with themselves into the house of perdition which is in the Hell. An instance of this happened in the very beginning of Islamic era, when the Omayids by various plans and plots, conspiracies and coup d' إtats; replaced the truthful Divine Leaders of Islam, like HAZRAT ALI, and HAZRAT IMAM HUSSAIN, with Devils like Moaviyeh and Yazid! The worst of their ingratitude was in their setting up compeers and equals to Allah, and replacing the most important of bounties which is Monotheism, with blasphemy and polytheism. So they joined their deserved destiny which is the house of perdition.

      Worthy of note here; being thankful is not only to repeat saying, ``thank you''. The misuse of a bounty is the worst of ingratitudes with regards to it. A manifest ingratitude and blasphemy of human being in our age, is their misuse of all the natural, industrial, and scientific power that man has earned through ages of strive and investigations, in the corners of unequipped laboratories and dark study rooms. Instead of using all the wonderful inventions, discoveries, and knowledge for the welfare and prosperity of mankind, they have used it in the battle fields and for destructive purposes, and so they have led mankind to the houses of perdition, ruin, and utter loss. Consider what was the results and consequences of the first and the second world war for mankind. See how much of man's lives, capitals, resources, and powers was destroyed in such calamities, and destructive way of Satan:ِ

      ``Do you not look at those who replaced Allah's bounty with blasphemy, and drove their people into house of perdition.''
