sidr tree mentioned in the Quran in three surahs (chapters.) Allah Almighty says in surah an Najm: �By the Lote Tree of the Furthest Boundary. Near it is the Paradise of Abode. When the lote-tree was covered with that which covered it.� (an Najm:14-16) That means the blessed Sidr tree is a great tree in the highest heaven. Allah Almighty says in surah al Waqiah describing paradise: �[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed� (al Waqiah: 28.) This verse shows that the Sidr has good fruit. Sidr also is mentioned in the sunnah in numerous ahaadeeth. It was used at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as a soap and shampoo in different situations: It was mentioned in the sunnah washing the head with al Sidr more than anything else. Al Sidr was also mentioned for washing hair and body. It was also used for ghusl for entering the religion of Islam. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, referred to it in the context of washing the dead. Narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he said � as a man stood at Arafah when he fell from his camel and died � the prophet (peace be upon him) said: �Wash him with water and Sidr and shroud him in his clothes� (al Bukhari.) Sidr tree contains many beneficial nutrients to the human body that strengthen the immune system. It is therefore used in the preparation of many natural remedies for many diseases, health problems, aesthetic and others.
