Surah Al-Waqi'ah — 56:28–29
The Quran mentions Talh in the description of the blessings of Paradise:
“Among thornless lote trees, and clustered fruit.”
The Arabic expression is (Talḥin Manḍūd), commonly translated as clustered or layered Talh.
The precise botanical identity of the Quranic Talh is not definitively established. It has been associated with different plants in later botanical and interpretive literature, so it is preferable not to state that the Quranic Talh definitely refers to a particular modern plant species.
Therefore, this page presents the botanical identification of Talh as uncertain rather than assigning a definitive scientific name.
The identification of the Quranic term Talh with a specific botanical species remains uncertain. Different interpretations have proposed different plants. This website therefore distinguishes the Quranic reference from modern botanical identification and does not present one species as conclusively established.
