Figs in the Quran | Science + Deen Unit Study | Ages 12+ | 17 Pages

“By the fig and the olive…” (Quran 95:1)
Allah swears an oath by a fruit. Have your students ever stopped to ask why?
This unit study does — and inside that one ayah they'll find tafsir, botany, geography, history and a lab experiment. It's the way Muslim scholars always learned: the Quran and the natural world read together, each pointing back to the other. One fruit. One ayah. A whole curriculum.
