Shake the Palm Tree - Verse 25 of the Chapter of Mary (Surat Maryam)
After Maryam calls out in pain and anguish, a voice calls telling her to shake a palm tree and ripe dates will fall upon her. This is similar to other Qur'anic figures, such as Moses/Musa, who are told to act when they are in trying and difficult situation, such as when he was in front of the Red Sea. The lesson is to act rather than allow the pain and sorrow overtake you.
