Dates are the adornment of tables in the holy month, the sweetness of the first taste that touches the lips after a long day of fasting, and the fruits of the good tree that hears the Ramadan supplications at iftar. Tongues repeat with supplication and joy: 'O Allah, we fasted for You and broke our fast with Your provision. The thirst has gone away, the veins have become moist, and the reward has been confirmed, if Allah wills.' Here, an Emirati sits in the shade of the palm trees, sorting and selecting dates at one of the heritage events in the land of goodness, which honors the palm tree and all its bounties, considering it part of its identity.
