The Holy Quran 6:141 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

۞ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَ جَنَّـٰتٍ مَّعْرُوشَـٰتٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَـٰتٍ وَٱلنَّخْلَ وَٱلزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِفًا أُكُلُهُۥ وَٱلزَّيْتُونَ وَٱلرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَـٰبِهًا وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَـٰبِهٍ ۚ كُلُوا۟ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦٓ إِذَآ أَثْمَرَ وَءَاتُوا۟ حَقَّهُۥ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِۦ ۖ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

Translation

He (Allaah) is the One Who created orchards (gardens) that are trellised (having trees or vines that need support), those that are not trellised (having trees that can stand by themselves), date palms, plantations of various foods and (He also created) olives and pomegranates that are similar and different (in taste, texture, growth, colour, etc). Eat from its fruit when it grows and give its due (Zakaah on produce, called Ushr) on the day of harvesting. Do not waste (do not be extravagant), for verily Allaah does not like those who waste.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

[gardens] that are raised on trellises, for example grapes and the like, and those that are not, for example the date palm, the mango and other trees with trunks, or the melon, the watermelon and the like, whose vine spreads over the ground without any support. that is, alike in appearance and form, but different in taste.
