About the brother asking about the size of the palm tree.. I think the point is that it isn't even a normal person's cup of tea to SHAKE a palm tree. Allah just wanted her to obey, and take the first step, and He would make it easy for her. Just like Musa 'alayhissalaam was told to strike the sea. Even a normal person can't strike the sea apart. The magnitude of what seems to be expected of us - and how Allah makes it easy once we start it, putting our tawakkul in Allaah swt. Heard this as a part of a beautiful explanation by Anwar al-Awlaqi in one of his lectures.. Assalam alaykum,

Allah just wanted her to obey, and take the first step, and He would make it easy for her. Just like Musa ‘alayhissalaam was told to strike the sea. Even a normal person can’t strike the sea apart.

I actually started researching palm trees recently, in an effort to compile all the benefits of the date palm tree. Every part of the tree is beneficial Subhan'Allah. There are hadith that speak of its virtue and the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) compares it to the Muslim. I was amazed to find out that there were so many different types of palm trees, of various heights, sizes and fruits - thousands of them! The date palm tree or "Phoenix Dactylifera" has a trunk diameter of about 12 inches and can grow from 30 feet to 100 feet. Once I gather all my findings on the benefits I will post them Insha'Allah. Barak Allah Feekum Um Yusuf as-Siddiq Assalamu alaikum

There is a special features of this particular tree which we can observed logically: 1. The trunk should be small to enable shaking. This tree should be of special species, higher than to be reach by hand but the trunk is small. This kind of tree species lived in specific area and climate and is not of ordinary palm tree. God give indication about the location of this kind of species. Still searching. 2. Fresh ripe dates signify the prevailing season when Jesus was born, definitely not in December as what Xmas is all about. Keep on your good work. Peace, Ashraf Salaam,
