"Subhan-Allahil-Azeem wa biHamdihi" .. A DATE PALM TREE IN JANNAH ..
Narrated Ibn `Umar (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree."
Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date-palm tree but felt shy to answer the others then asked, "
"What is that tree, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?"
He replied, "
"It is the date-palm tree."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 61,
Book 3, Hadith 3)
In Islamic tradition, the date palm tree (Nakhl) in Jannah (Paradise) is a symbol of immense reward and is described as being far superior to those found in this world.
Description of the Trees
Physical Appearance:
The trunks of trees in Jannah are made of gold.
Fruit Quality:
The dates are described as being the size of large pitchers, whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, and softer than butter, with no pits.
Ease of Access:
Fruits are always within reach, whether a person is standing, sitting, or lying down. Each time a fruit is plucked, another immediately takes its place.
Immense Size:
Some trees in Paradise are so large that a rider could travel in their shade for 100 years without crossing them.
How to "Plant" Them
Various Hadiths mention simple acts of worship (dhikr) that result in a date palm being planted for a believer in Jannah:
Reciting Tasbih:
Whoever says
"Subhan-Allahil-Azeem wa biHamdihi"
(Glory is to Allah the Supreme and with His Praise) even once will have a date palm planted for them.
Charitable Acts:
Famous accounts, such as those of the companions Abu Dahdah and Abu Darda, describe them giving up entire worldly orchards (some with 600 trees) in exchange for the promise of a single, superior tree in Paradise.
WALLAHU A'LAM ..
