Dates in the Quran | Science + Deen Unit Study | Ages 12+ | 23 Pages

“And shake the trunk of the palm — it will drop ripe dates upon you.” (Quran 19:25)
In her hardest hour, Maryam (AS) was told to reach for dates. The Prophet ﷺ broke his fast with them. Fourteen centuries later, science is still catching up to why.
This unit study takes one fruit and opens up the whole world through it: revelation, biology, geography, economics, history — and yes, a tasting experiment and a recipe. The second unit in the Plants of the Quran series.
