In the Qur’an, when Maryam (AS) experienced severe pain during childbirth, Allah (SWT) instructed her to eat fresh dates to ease her discomfort:


And shake the trunk of the palm tree towards you. It will drop on you fresh ripe dates. So eat and drink and relax!... [Quran 19 : 25 - 26]


Today, modern medical science confirms that dates provide significant benefits during labor — they supply quick energy, reduce the intensity of labor pain, and promote faster recovery after childbirth. Over 1,400 years ago, Allah revealed this natural remedy to Maryam (AS), long before science understood its health benefits.
