About Date Palm Foundation
A beacon of faith and community service in the heart of Kingswood, Bristol
Our Inspiration
The Date Palm Foundation draws its inspiration from the profound teaching of the Prophet Muhammad (صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ), who once posed a thought-provoking question to his beloved companions:
Ibn 'Umar (رضی اللہ عنھم) reported: "We were in the company of Allah's Messenger (صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) when he said: 'Tell me of a tree which resembles a Muslim, the leaves of which do not wither.' Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) said: It crossed my mind that it could be the date palm tree, but as I saw Abu Bakr and 'Umar (رضي الله عنهم) remain silent, I did not feel it was appropriate to speak.
Later, 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) said (to his son): 'Had you said so, it would have been dearer to me than such and such thing.'"
— Sahih Bukhari
The Wisdom
This comparison between a Muslim and the date palm tree carries deep wisdom. Just as the leaves of a date palm tree remain evergreen, constantly providing benefit throughout its lifespan, a true believer is likewise steadfast, flourishing with acts of kindness and benefitting others throughout their life.
