t-l-h

Description

The Arabic root ط-ل-ح (ṭ-l-ḥ) appears in the Quran in Surah Al-Waqi'ah (56:29) as ṭalḥ, traditionally understood to refer to banana trees or trees with layered fruit arrangements, though classical scholars offered various interpretations including acacia trees laden with fruit or any tree with abundant, stacked produce. The term describes one of the blessings of Paradise, emphasizing the luxurious and bountiful vegetation available to the righteous. Its significance lies in depicting the abundant sustenance and aesthetic beauty of Paradise, contrasting earthly scarcity with divine generosity.
