It should come as no surprise that a fruit as healthy and easy to grow as dates has played a significant role throughout history. Dates have been mentioned in many religions and cultures around the world. In Islam, the date palm is highly valued and appears several times in the Qur’an, the Islamic holy book. The Qur’an says the tree is a source of food and fiber, helps with childbirth, provides shade, and stands for wisdom.
椰枣这种健康且易种植的水果在历史上扮演著重要的角色一点也不足为奇。椰枣在世界各地的许多宗教和文化中都曾被提及。在伊斯兰教中，椰枣树备受重视，并在伊斯兰圣书《古兰经》中多次出现。《古兰经》称椰枣树是食物和纤维质的来源，有助于分娩，提供遮荫，并象征智慧。
