Would any of you like to have a garden of dates and grapes, with rivers flowing underneath and containing all kinds of fruits, then to be stricken with old age and have children who are weak, and then for a fierce whirlwind containing fire to come and strike it so that it goes up in flames? In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will reflect.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah # 266)
It is He Who sends down water from the sky from which We bring forth growth of every kind, and from that We bring forth the green shoots and from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and from the spathes of the date palm date clusters hanging down, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. Look at their fruits as they bear fruit and ripen. There are Signs in that for people who believe.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 99)
In the earth there are diverse regions side by side and gardens of grapes and cultivated fields, and palm-trees sharing one root and others with individual roots, all watered with the same water. And We make some things better to eat than others. There are Signs in that for people who use their intellect.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-R’ad (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 4)
It is He Who sends down water from the sky. From it you drink and from it come the shrubs among which you graze your herds. And by it He makes crops grow for you and olives and dates and grapes and fruit of every kind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Nahl (The Bees), Surah # 16: Ayah # 10-11)
And from the fruit of the date-palm and the grape-vine you derive both intoxicants and wholesome provision. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who use their intellect.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Nahl (The Bees), Surah # 16: Ayah # 67)
They say, ‘We will not believe you until you make a spring gush out from the earth for us; or have a garden of dates and grapes which you make rivers come pouring through.’
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Isra’ (The Night Journey) or Bani Isra’il (The Children of Israel), Surah # 17: Ayah # 90-91)
Make an example for them of two men. To one of them We gave two gardens of grape-vines and surrounded them with date-palms, putting between them some cultivated land.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Kahf (The Cave), Surah # 18: Ayah # 32)
By means of it We produce gardens of dates and grapes for you, in which there are many fruits for you and from which you eat.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Mu’minun (The Believers), Surah # 23: Ayah # 19)
A Sign for them is the dead land which We bring to life and from which We bring forth grain of which they eat. We place in it gardens of dates and grapes, and cause springs to gush out in it, so they may eat its fruits–they did not do it themselves. So will they not be thankful?
(Holy Quran, Surah Ya Sin, Surah # 36: Ayah # 33-35)
For those who guard against evil there is triumph: Gardens and grape vines, and nubile maidens of similar age, and an overflowing cup.
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Naba’ (The Great News), Surah # 78: Ayah # 31-34)
Then We make grain grow in it, and grapes and herbs.
