Gardens and Springs
وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا جَنَّـٰتࣲ مِّن نَّخِيلࣲ وَأَعۡنَٰبࣲ وَفَجَّرۡنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلۡعُيُونِ ٣٤
And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
We placed in it gardens of date palms and vines and made springs gush forth in it.
Insight
Elmalılı calls the date palm and the vine the most perfect forms of plant life and the sweetest sources of human delight: the finest examples of life rising from lifeless soil.
Reflect
Today, eat a piece of fruit slowly and enjoy it.
