Pomegranate "cleanses you of Satan and from evil aspirations for 40 days." Hadith
Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): Allah's Messenger (may the peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "There is none amongst the Muslims who plants a
tree or sows a seed, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, but it is
regarded as a charitable gift from him."
(Bukhari 40:1071
Plants, along with all of creation, essentially fulfill two key functions. They are living
beings in their own right, worshipping and glorifying Allah in a manner that we cannot
perceive. They have also been placed on Earth for the benefit of human and animal life, so
beautifully illustrated in Surah ‘Abasa:
Then let man look at his food:
We pour forth water in abundance.
And we split the earth in clefts.
And we cause therein the grain to grow,
And grapes and clover plants,
And olives and date palms,
And gardens with many dense trees,
And fruits and herbage
(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.
(80:24-32)
Pomegranates, along with dates and olives, are also mentioned in the following verse from
the Holy Qur’an, which speaks of the dues that have to be paid upon each harvest, as well
as the evil of wastefulness.
And it is He Who produces gardens trellised and untrellised,
And date-palms, and crops of different shape and taste and olives, and
pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in taste).

3. Eat of their fruits when they ripen, but pay the due thereof on the day
of its harvest,
And waste not by extravagance.
Verily, He likes not those who waste by extravagance.
(6:141)
Sweet pomegranate are preferred over the sour. The juice stems coughs. All kinds of pomegranate
settle palpitations of the heart. Hazrat Ali(r.a.) said that the light of ALLAH is in the heart of
whoever eats pomegranate. It is also reported that one who eats three pomegranate in the
course of a year will be inoculated against ophthalmia for that year. Said the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) :
Pomegranate "cleanses you of Satan and from evil aspirations for forty days."
