أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَه ُُ جَنَّة ٌ مِنْ نَخِيل ٍ وَأَعْنَاب ٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ لَه ُُ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ وَأَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَه ُُ ذُرِّيَّة ٌ ضُعَفَاءُ فَأَصَابَهَا إِعْصَار ٌ فِيه ِِ نَار ٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ
'Ayawaddu 'Aĥadukum 'An Takūna Lahu Jannatun Min Nakhīlin Wa 'A`nābin Tajrī Min Taĥtihā Al-'Anhāru Lahu Fīhā Min Kulli Ath-Thamarāti Wa 'Aşābahu Al-Kibaru Wa Lahu Dhurrīyatun Đu`afā'u Fa'aşābahā 'I`şārun Fīhi Nārun Fāĥtaraqat Kadhālika Yubayyinu Allāhu Lakumu Al-'Āyāti La`allakum Tatafakkarūna
Does anyone of you desire that he have an estate with palm trees and grapevines, and rivers flowing beneath it, and in it for him are all kinds of fruits, then he is afflicted with old age and his progeny is weak, and a firestorm strikes it and it all burns? It is thus that God makes clear for you the signs that you may reflect.
6:99
وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاء ً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِه ِِ نَبَاتَ كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ فَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهُ خَضِرا ً نُخْرِجُ مِنْهُ حَبّا ً مُتَرَاكِبا ً وَمِنَ النَّخْلِ مِنْ طَلْعِهَا قِنْوَان ٌ دَانِيَة ٌ وَجَنَّات ٍ مِنْ أَعْنَاب ٍ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِها ً وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِه ٍ انظُرُوا إِلَى ثَمَرِهِ~ِ إِذَا أَثْمَرَ وَيَنْعِهِ~ِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكُمْ لَآيَات ٍ لِقَوْم ٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī 'Anzala Mina As-Samā'i Mā'an Fa'akhrajnā Bihi Nabāta Kulli Shay'in Fa'akhrajnā Minhu KhaĐirāan Nukhriju Minhu Ĥabbāan Mutarākibāan Wa Mina An-Nakhli Min Ţal`ihā Qinwānun Dāniyatun Wa Jannātin Min 'A`nābin Wa Az-Zaytūna Wa Ar-Rummāna Mushtabihāan Wa Ghayra Mutashābihin Anžurū 'Ilá Thamarihi 'Idhā 'Athmara Wa Yan`ihi 'Inna Fī Dhālikum La'āyātin Liqawmin Yu'uminūna
And He is the One who sent down water from the heaven, and We brought out with it plants of every kind. We brought out from it the green, from which We bring out multiple seeds; and what is from the palm trees, from its sheaths hanging low and near; and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, similar and not similar. Look at its fruit when it blossoms and its ripeness. In this are signs for a people who believe.
6:141
وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَ جَنَّات ٍ مَعْرُوشَات ٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَات ٍ وَالنَّخْلَ وَالزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِفاً أُكُلُه ُُ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَابِها ً وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِه ٍ ٍ كُلُوا مِنْ ثَمَرِهِ~ِ إِذَا أَثْمَرَ وَآتُوا حَقَّه ُُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِه ِِ وَلاَ تُسْرِفُوا إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ
Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī 'Ansha'a Jannātin Ma`rūshātin Wa Ghayra Ma`rūshātin Wa An-Nakhla Wa Az-Zar`a Mukhtalifāan 'Ukuluhu Wa Az-Zaytūna Wa Ar-Rummāna Mutashābihāan Wa Ghayra Mutashābihin Kulū Min Thamarihi 'Idhā 'Athmara Wa 'Ātū Ĥaqqahu Yawma Ĥaşādihi Wa Lā Tusrifū 'Innahu Lā Yuĥibbu Al-Musrifīna
And He is the One Who initiated gardens; both trellised and untrellised; and palm trees, and plants, all with different taste; and olives and pomegranates, similar and not similar. Eat from its fruit when it blossoms and give its due on the day of harvest; and do not waste. He does not like the wasteful.
13:4
وَفِي الأَرْضِ قِطَع ٌ مُتَجَاوِرَات ٌ وَجَنَّات ٌ مِنْ أَعْنَاب ٍ وَزَرْع ٌ وَنَخِيل ٌ صِنْوَان ٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَان ٍ يُسْقَى بِمَاء ٍ وَاحِد ٍ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْض ٍ فِي الأُكُلِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَات ٍ لِقَوْم ٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

And on the earth are neighboring pieces of land with gardens of grapes and plants and palm trees, some of which may be twin sharing the same root, or single, even though they are being watered with the same water source; and We make preference for some of them over others in what they consume. In that are signs for a people who comprehend.
16:11
يُنْبِتُ لَكُمْ بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالنَّخِيلَ وَالأَعْنَابَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَة ً لِقَوْم ٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

And from the fruits of the palm trees and the grapes you make wine and a good provision. In that is a sign for a people who comprehend.
17:91
أَوْ تَكُونَ لَكَ جَنَّة ٌ مِنْ نَخِيل ٍ وَعِنَب ٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الأَنهَارَ خِلاَلَهَا تَفْجِيرا ً

"Or that you have an estate of palm trees and grapes, and you cause gushing rivers to burst through it."
18:32
وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلا ً رَجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِأحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ أَعْنَاب ٍ وَحَفَفْنَاهُمَا بِنَخْل ٍ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعا ً

And give them the example of two men: We made for one of them two gardens of grapes, and We surrounded them with palm trees, and We made crops in their midst.

قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَه ُُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّه ُُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلاَف ٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِي جُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَا أَشَدُّ عَذَابا ً وَأَبْقَى

He said: "Have you believed to him before taking my permission? He is surely your great one who has taught you magic. So, I will cut off your hands and feet from alternate sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of the palm trees, and you will come to know which of us is greater in retribution and more lasting!"
23:19
فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُمْ بِه ِِ جَنَّات ٍ مِنْ نَخِيل ٍ وَأَعْنَاب ٍ لَكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَاكِه ُُ كَثِيرَة ٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ
