Dates
Islam Brought Many Attributes To The Modern World, One Of Which Was The Significance Of The Date Palm. Although The Date Can Be Traced Back To 4000 BCE In Ancient Arabia, Islam Has Stressed The Holiness Of The Date And The Date Palm More Than Any Other Religion. In Fact, The Prophet Muhammed Said That Ajwah Dates—Grown In The Madinah Region Of Saudi Arabia—Are From Paradise.
The Date Palm, Mentioned More Than Any Other Fruit-Bearing Plant In The Qur’an—22 Times—Is A Symbol Often Associated With Muslims, Even As The Religion Has Spread Around The Globe. Whether The Fruit Is Called Tamr (Arabic), Khajoor (Urdu), Hurmah (Turkish), Or Buah Kurma (Indonesian), It Is Part Of Muslim Upbringing.
