The fruits
'Let man look at his food': We poured down water, split the earth and grew in it grain, grapes, clover, olives, palms, dense gardens, fruit and pasture — and for Paradise's people, fruits uncounted, neither cut off nor forbidden, and fruit of what they choose.
In the Qur'an · 23

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِرَٰشًا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
