آية: 25

وَهُزِّيٓ إِلَيۡكِ بِجِذۡعِ ٱلنَّخۡلَةِ تُسَٰقِطۡ عَلَيۡكِ رُطَبٗا جَنِيّٗا

(25) “Shake to you^[40] the trunk of the palm tree and it will drop on you [one by one just picked] ripe palm dates!”^[41]

[40] The dates could have fallen without her making any effort at all. However, God Almighty intended to teach a valuable lesson: even when one’s provision is assured, one must still seek it out. al-Shinqīṭī explains: “Some scholars have derived from this aya that striving and taking the necessary means to earn one’s livelihood is religiously commanded and does not contradict reliance on Allah, the Almighty. This principle is almost universally recognized in religion: taking the required steps to secure benefits and ward off harm in this world is a religious duty and does not conflict with trusting in Allah. The individual undertakes these means in obedience to the command of their Lord, all the while knowing with certainty that nothing happens except by the Will of Allah. Thus, they rely on Allah, fully aware that nothing will befall them except what Allah has decreed, whether good or bad. If Allah Wills that the means do not produce their expected results, then they will not.”
[41] Ruṭaban Janiyyan (lit. ripe palm dates up for picking). God Almighty made ruṭab (ripe dates) drop from the tree, rather than tamr (dried dates) “because ripe dates are more pleasing to the soul, being akin to fruit, whereas dried dates serve as a staple food” (Ibn ‘Āshūr). This goes on to show the great care that God Almighty takes for those He uses for His Purpose.
