                                 Here are some verses from the Qur’an in which
                            Allah mentions the fruits of the Garden:
                                 Amid thornless lote-trees and banana-trees [with
                                 fruits]. (Surat al-Waqi‘a: 28-29)
                                 In them are fruits and date-palms and pomegran-
                                 ates. (Surat ar-Rahman: 68)
                                 And fruits in abundance never failing, unrestrict-
                                 ed. (Surat al-Waqi‘a: 32-33)
                                 They will have preordained provision: sweet

                                 fruits and high honour in Gardens of Delight.
                                 (Surat as-Saffat: 41-43)


                                 Examples of the Food in the Garden:

                                 Dates:
                                 There is a story about dates in the hadith:
                                 Someone asked, “O Prophet! Are there dates in
                                 the Garden? Because I love dates.” And the
                                 Prophet replied: “Yes, there are dates… the dates
                                 of the Garden have golden branches. They have
                                 golden shoots. They have leaves as beautiful as

                                 the finest clothing anyone has ever seen. There
                                 are golden bunches of dates. Even the stalks of
                                 these bunches of dates are of gold. At the base of
                                 each golden date are sticky scales. They have
                                 fruits like giant jars, softer than foam, sweeter
                                 than honey.” (Mukhtasar Tadhkirah al-Qurtubi,
                                 p. 315/522)
                                 We notice here that every detail of the Garden is
