A tale as old as the fig trees

Asalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًۭا كَلِمَةًۭ طَيِّبَةًۭ كَشَجَرَةٍۢ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌۭ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ٢٤

تُؤْتِىٓ أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍۭ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا ۗ وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٥

Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches reach the sky, ˹always˺ yielding its fruit in every season by the Will of its Lord. This is how Allah sets forth parables for the people, so perhaps they will be mindful.

More than a decade ago, Brother Mario (Rahimahullah) planted the fig trees at Dar-us-Salaam as an act of Sadaqah Jaariyah to his community. Around that same time, Brother Atif Nuriddin signed up to Qur’an Institute, Dar-us-Salaam’s part time Hifzh program.

Today we are witness to the miraculous growth and the fruits of labor of both the fig tree and Br. Atif! Just like how Allah has placed much barakah in the fig trees and their fruits, Allah has also blessed Br. Atif’s journey with the Qur’an.

Over the course of 13 years, Br. Atif has been consistently coming to Dar-us-Salaam on the weekends to attend his Hifzh classes, and he recently completed his memorization of the entire Qur’an, Allahu Akbar!

Join us in the Dar-us-Salaam Musallah this Sunday, June 30, at 1 P.M. for Atif Nuriddin’s Hifzh graduation ceremony. Celebrate the beautiful culmination of years of hard work and dedication, and enjoy some sweet figs from Br. Mario’s fig trees outside in the courtyard. Please click HERE to RSVP!

Dar-us-Salaam congratulates Br. Atif Nuriddin and his family on this amazing accomplishment. May Allah continue to allow the Qur’an to illuminate your lives 🤲🏼✨

Jazakum Allahu Khairan,

— Dar-us-Salaam
