The Blessed Tree located in Jordan
“The Blessed Tree” is located in Jordan. It is fondly known as the last remaining Sahaba. It is a tree near Safawi where the young Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) met with Bahira the monk while travelling with his uncle, Abu Talib, to Syria. This was to prove a critical historical event. Bahira would be the first holy man to identify Muhammad (SAW) as a prophet.

Subhana’llah: Panda (IMAGES)
The giant panda’s black and white coat and prominent black eye patches have made it one of the best known species, although it is among the shyest and rarest animals in the world. It appears to use no special resting place, but simply lies down on the ground wherever it happens to be. There are only about 1,000 giant pandas left in the wild. They are classified as Endangered.
10 Tree Roots Winning Their Battle Against Concrete (IMAGES)

Mankind’s relationship with nature is a difficult one – we must use it, live in harmony with it, protect it and protect ourselves from it. These visually striking images that we collected of tree roots colliding with concrete are beautiful symbolic representations of this complicated relationship.
It’s hard to say what it is exactly about tree roots that capture our imagination, but they have done so for thousands of years. They snake through many world cultures’ folk-tales and legends and take root in our symbolic vocabulary. The slow but sure force with which they crush and overcome concrete (and sometimes even steel) inspires visions of a natural reclamation of the civilized world, and their serpentine forms inspire visions of rivers and lightning.
Whatever these photos make you think of, we hope you love them as much as we do!

The Fruit shows that the Tree is Alive

It can be debatable whether a seed is the seed of an apple tree or an oleander tree as long as it remains as a seed. If that seed is put in the soil and grows up forming branches, fruits and flowers, nobody can argue about the type of that seed.
Besides, it is necessary to close one’s eyes and not to see the apple tree and its fruits and to ignore their testimony in order to claim that a seed is an oleander seed. For, each fruit of the tree says with a language peculiar to them, “The seed of our tree is an apple seed.” Thus, they clearly confute the person who claims that it is a seed of an oleander tree.
Similarly, Hz. Muhammad (pbuh) is also a seed. The tree of Islam emerged from this seed. This tree has 14 big branches, each of which represents a century. There are millions of fruits and flowers on each branch. Every companion, saint and scholar is a fruit of this tree.
Yes, the principles of Hz. Muhammad (pbuh), thousands of saints who are subject to him and educated by him and who attain the truth, reality, perfection, extraordinary deeds, discovery and observation of secret things witness unanimously that he is an honest person and a prophet. With the luminous light of sainthood, they observe some of the news informed by him and they confirm some of his news with the light of belief; they also approve that this person, who is their teacher, is honest.
If a person denies the prophethood of Hz. Muhammad (pbuh), he needs to deny first the religion of Islam emerging from this seed and its fruits, which are the Companions, saints, scholars and righteous people. They obtain their perfection from their seed, which is Hz. Muhammad (pbuh).
When anyone wants to attack their seed, Hz. Muhammad (pbuh), each one of them will say, through their tongues peculiar to themselves, “O he who is unaware of himself! How dare you attack our seed? Look at us! If our seed were rotten, could we be alive? If you want to deny our seed, which is the real cause of the life given to us, you need to stop us first and harm our perfection. Neither you nor anybody else can do it.
You cannot even deny one saint like Abdulqadir Ghaylani; how can you deny millions of fruit? If you close your eyes, only you will be in darkness. Open your eyes, see what a magnificent and straight tree comes out of the seed that you are trying to deny, and come to your senses!
As we said in the beginning, it is impossible to fit the evidences that will prove the prophethood of Hz. Muhammad (pbuh) in one CD like fitting an ocean in one glass. We refer the evidences of the prophethood of Hz. Muhammad (pbuh) to our work Belief in Hz. Muhammad (pbuh) and say the following in conclusion:“Ashadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh. (I witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.)”
