The Lesson From Four Plants
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught his companions about the Quran using four plants: the citron, the date, basil and the bitter apple. The one who reads the Quran and follows it is like the citron, sweet in smell and taste; the one who follows it without reading it is like the date; the one who reads it but does not follow it is like basil; and the one who does neither is like the bitter apple. Children are encouraged to be like the citron.
