Saffron:beauty for both worlds
"Pure / Original Za'afraan /
Saffron is sold at around 8-10 dollars per gram, which is almost half the rate of gold.
It is the
world's most expensive spice.
It occurs as 3 stigmas / strands of a purple colored flower called Crocus Sativus.
At the time of harvest, the
three red strands or stigmas are plucked from each flower by hand. This is time consuming and labour intensive and means that about 500,000 strands from 160,000 flowers will be gathered in this way to produce 1kg of the spice. And the area needed to cultivate 160,000 flowers is twice to that of a foot-ball ground.
World's total production of Za'afraan (Saffron) is not more than
300 tons per annum. What a pity to this world??????
Soil / sand of Jannah (paradise) is Za'afraan & Musk. And the price???? It can't be purchased by dollars, rather by
Saalehaat (good deeds.)
What will happen to residents of Jannah when they will walk over Za'afraan & Musk?
When you are praying, just imagine that you are walking in Jannah, probably you will take your shoes off, as you will be strolling over perfume, you will breathe the air full of fragrances. And if Allah enters me in Jannah after you, I'll follow your style; I'll also remove my shoes.
But Jannah is not easy. May Allah enable us to achieve the success."
