Date, which is originally known as a fruit, is also a material with fibers used in fabric production and seeds used as fuel. Allah draws our attention to these fibers in a verse of the Qur’an:

Consequently, we witness Allah’s superior creation in many things that we see as natural parts of our lives. Conscious people who think with a sincere mind and conscience can recognize countless blessings of Allah. Such thinking is instrumental in making them grateful and thus draw them closer to Allah. (Harun Yahya, the Art of Color of Allah)

The blessings Allah created for us are too much to count. In the face of all this kindness of Allah what befalls us is to praise Him .
 

Allah shows favour to mankind but most of them are not thankful. (Surat an-Naml, 73)
