Dear Brother / Sister,
According to some narrations, the date (palm) tree was created from the remaining soil out of which Hz. Adam was created. Welearn this narration from Imam Rabbani's book called "Maktubat":
"There is community and justice in the creation of this tree. Man's creation is like that too. Therefore, the Prophet said the date (palm) tree was the aunt of man:
"Show respect to the date tree, which is your aunt. For, this tree was created from the soil that remained from the creation of Adam."
As it is seen, the date tree was created from the soil of Hz. Adam. The reason why the date was given abundance is probably because it contains many things. Therefore, when a person eats dates, which are the fruits the date tree, it becomes part and tissue of man. Thus, everything in dates is transferred to man." (Imam Rabbani, Maktubat, Letter 162)
The date tree and Venus's flytrap feel and act like animals. Some of the date trees are male and others are female. The male date tree leans toward the female tree. The female tree does not produce fruits unless some substance comes from the male tree.
In fact, all plants have these two organs. However, they are visible in the date tree like in animals. The date tree has something white on its head. It functions like the heart of an animal. If it gets hurt or if it is soaked, the tree dries.
With the hadith mentioned above, it might be stated that this tree is the most superior tree.
