Palm trees hold a large place in these verses: created for the benefit of Allah’s servants, they serve in comparisons and appear in the story of Mary. Other trees are mentioned too: the tree forbidden to Adam, called the tree of eternity, the tree of Zaqqum, the blessed tree, the one from which Moses was called and Jonah’s gourd plant, as well as the green tree from which Allah brings forth fire.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
Do you not see [i.e., know] that to Allāh prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people? But upon many the punishment has been justified. And he whom Allāh humiliates - for him there is no bestower of honor. Indeed, Allāh does what He wills.
