14. The Sidra Tree Story
Reaching upwards towards perfection.
“The Sidra tree, growing strong and proud in the harshest of
environments, has been a symbol of perseverance and
nourishment across the borders of the Arab world. What is the
significance of this glorious tree? With its roots bound in the
soil of this world and its branches reaching upwards toward
perfection, it is a symbol of solidarity and determination; it
reminds us that the goals of this world are not incompatible
with the goals of the spirit.”
