Botany Lesson | Flowering Tree | Fig

In choosing our Flowering Fruit trees, we chose to cover fig and olive and we chose to add a religious element to this lesson using the book Plants of the Quran. The book Plants of the Quran shares botanical information as well as some religious aspects like where in the Quran the the fig is mentioned and if there are any hadiths related to the mentioned plant. The book also shares the Arabic and historical names for the plants as well the history of the cultivation of the plant.
For this lesson we include a portion of our date lesson as that lesson ended up taking up more than a page and as we are running out of pages for our botany main lesson book, we ended up sharing a page with the fig which meant we had little room for our illustration and our content. I included a paragraph about the fig wasp which I find fascinating, though not all fig varieties require the fig wasp for fertilization.
The hadith we included referring to 'if there was a fruit that were to descend from heaven it would be the fig because it has no pit.'

So glad I found your channel again. My baby is only 1.5 and I'm expecting again alhamdulillah. I'm so excited to start homeschooling! And I'm 11 weeks so my baby is the size of a fig so now I'm crying 😂💕 I used to watch your videos when I was not even close to having children, and feel so inspired. MashaAllah you're so talented.
