JANNAH:
The Garden from
the Qur’an and Hadith

know and understand, and the descriptions of their appearances and de-
licious taste show what blessings they are. For example, beneath the
branches of the date trees in the Garden, the leaves look like beautiful
silk fabric.
Another hadith tells about the size of the dates:
The branches of the date trees in the Garden are green emerald.
Their shoots are reddish gold. Their leaves are clothing to be worn
by the People of the Garden. One part are undergarments, one part
are lined over-garments. The fruits of the date of the Garden are
like great jars and jugs. There are no seeds within them.
(Mukhtasar Tadhkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 314)

In the above hadith the dates are likened to jewels and
it is said that, by Allah’s will, their appearance and their
taste will be perfect.
