The Parable of the Useless Servant

Allah discusses a parable contrasting a servant incapable of any good, like a mute, thoughtless, and useless tool, with one who commands justice and walks a straight path, symbolizing a believer who enforces justice. The useless servant symbolizes those preferring silence over standing up for what's right, while the praised servant exemplifies one fulfilling the true purpose of serving Allah.
