shake the tree. It has become obvious that as long as a person doesn’t have any children, he is blessed with sustenance without any effort and he gets his sustenance from somewhere, but when a person is blessed with children, it becomes compulsory for him to struggle for his sustenance. This is evident from Sayyidatuna Maryam رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا that as long as she had no child, she was blessed with the fruits in her arch (Mihrab) of worship without any efforts. However, when her child Sayyiduna ‘Isa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was born, then Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ commanded her to shake the date tree and put efforts in order to get the dates. (‘Ajaaib-ul-Quran, pp. 168)
