"[More precisely], is He [not best] who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you rain from the sky,"
" rain from the sky, causing to grow thereby gardens of joyful beauty"
" which you could not [otherwise] have grown the trees thereof?"
" Is there a deity with Allah ?"
"[No], but they are a people who ascribe equals [to Him]."
[Surat An-Naml]
We all know that Allah, Almighty, didn't create a thing for vain!
but for a wise reason..
So, why did Allah create wood?
and what is the secret behind its formation?
and how could man benefit from the wood?
and what would happen, without having wood?
[Trees]
'Fasero..'
'If it wasn't because of Allah, it wouldn't have occurred..'
'Fasero..'
'From this you will attain faith..'
The gourd vine.. olives.. pomegranate tree..
I've wondered under trees.. about the secrets of their branches and their beauty..
I found details that tell stories, about the creativity of the Creator!!
"It is the work of Allah, Who perfected all things."
We define a tree as a plant that have a stem.. / Dr. Jamil Al-Lahham, Professor of Botany, Yarmouk University, Jordan
.. that carry branches on top, that bear leaves.
Not all plants are trees..
because, many plants are..
herbaceous plants..
For example; decorative plants as Ficus tree
Conocarpus trees..
some trees are used as a hedge..
because they have dense leaves.. and many branches.. /Qassim Hassan Kassem, agricultural engineer
Some trees are used as windbreakers.
Allah, Almighty, made these trees as decorative for Earth..
gardens on Earth
Another type of trees are the fruit trees..
Allah, Almighty, made them as food for man!
for example, Pomegranate trees
Grapes ..
Guava trees..
the third type of trees is..
Perennial trees..
they grow in forests..
More than 20% of the world's oxygen is produced in the Amazon rainforests
Allah, Almighty, made them for the benefit of man to get wood from them..
Subhan Allah, a divine arrangement..
you enjoy the scenery made by some trees.. this is one side
and you enjoy eating other plant pruducts..
also perennial plants have benefits ..
that is to use there wood..
I thought there are 6 to 7 types of wood only!
But, actually there are more than 1500 type.. Subhan Allah!
There is the beech wood..
It is a type of wood that is very hard and strong..
The carpenters guaranty its strength..
and they habitually use its name..
because they know what does the name indicate.!!
Another wood is the Oak-wood..
It is a very strong wood..
so, it is used in building ships..
And one of the most expensive.. or the most expensive wood is..
is the agarwood [Oud wood]
that's why we focused our filming more on it!
there is nothing as Oud tree!
M. Ramzi Salim, Vice President of agarwood Producers' Union, Indonesia
but, we have a tree that produces Oud.
Because, not every tree produces agarwood [Oud]..
So, we may have a very big tree that is long lasting, that is tens of years old, but it doesn't have Oud!
Why?
to form Oud, there must be an external influence..
that is the effect of infection..
because of the growth of certain mold..
Do you mean that infection is the cause of formation of Oud?
Exactly.. I mean..
As a result of having injury on the stem of the tree
an injury that is caused by anything.. may be by an insect, making a small hole in the tree..
or as a result of friction between branches moved by wind..
So, in the presence of injury..
and the presence of certain molds in the environment..
this specific mold attacks the tree at the site of injury, and it penetrates the tree..
the tree will protect itself by producing a dark aromatic resin in response to the attack..
this dark aromatic resin is the Oud!
Subhan Allah, after being infected, we get the best aroma..
And the best tree is the tree that is infected more!
Perhaps harmful to wood, but, useful to humans!
We cut the tree.. and take the good parts of it separately..
and from parts that are not of good quality we get Oud oil by distillation..
You mean all types pf Oud oils.. exactly..
From wood..
we extract Oud oil..
explain this process for me..
First we grind them to be like this..
this is what is left..
Yes!
after grinding.. we cook it.. we have two methods for preparing..
first method, is to sock it in water for two months..
ordinary water.. Yes..
in water for two months..
and then we cook it..
Then we put it in the distiller for at least, three to four days..
the second method is..
we treat it in the dry form..
Directly to the distiller..
Yes, and by this method, it yields more oil..
and it is faster..
but it is of less quality..
So, the choice is yours!
You mean it is up to the business man!
yes!
and in both cases it is pure..

Recent studies have confirmed that if trees are properly planted around the buildings, this will reduce the need for air conditioning by 30%
In general, a tree is formed of three parts..
The first part is that under the surface of the land.. it is the roots and root fibers..
these root fibers are responsible of absorption..
of water..
and nutrients..
and transporting it to the stem of the plant..
which is the pillar that supports the plant and that carries the leaves..
and that carries the fruits of the fruit trees..
one significance of the stem is that..
it transports water and nutrients to other parts of the tree..
through..
what is called..
the transmitting ducts..
they are like capillary tubes..
and water flows inside them by the property of capillarity.
i.e. The thinner the tube that is put in a water container..
the faster its ability to transport water.
We know that these trees..
can reach up to 100 meters!
especially the trees that make wood..
the ductal tissue in the plant is formed of two parts..
the first part is the wood..
that transports water and elements from the soil..
and the bark of the tree, is the part that transports nutrients within the plant..
and both must be close to each other.. side by side.
the vessels are formed of cellulose material..
and woody material..
and a third material that is called cellulose 2.
these materials..
form the inner vessels that are surrounded by the wood bark..
they are the the origin of the strength of the wood..
At this farm we have about 7 types of trees..
7 types of trees that produce Oud [agarwood]..
this is one species, that is Aquilaria malaccensis..
You call it Kalimantan..
So, this is the Kalimantan agarwood.. Exactly!
Actually, the Kalimantan is more than one species..
this is one of them, Aquilaria malaccensis..
there is also, Aquilaria microcarpa..
and Aquilaria crassna ..
So this is different.. from that.. yes!
How many species of agarwood trees are there..
The known trees in Indonesia are of 46 species..
only in Indonesia?
Yes, not world wide..
Some types as the Cambodian agarwood..
here we have Cambodian agarwood too..
not necessarily to be in Cambodia..
but, You know it at your region with this name..
they used to bring it from Cambodia.. and they kept on calling it that name..
This is the first time that I know this information.. so we can have the Cambodian agarwood from Indonesia!
Yes, you can!
The surface of the earth is covered by about 3 trillion trees, which vary between red cherry and olive trees, with an average of 422 trees per inhabitant of the earth
the fragrance differs according to the mold that has infected the tree..
So, you may find in the market, a Kalimantan Oud..
it might be spicy..
correct.
At Banka region, they have the same kind of tree.. but it is sweet, as the Cambodian..
why does the same tree give different fragrance?
same species of trees..
same tree and different fragrance!!
because of the kind of mold!
Allah, Almighty, has guided man to have things....
He who gave each thing its form and then guided it!
How is it possible that a man at the 21 century would know the age of a tree.. that is 10 to 11 thousand years old?!
Man have to cut the tree.. a transverse section..
when you look at the section..
you will see that it is formed of circular rings..
each circle represents a period of time that the tree has lived..
a year of its age..
some circles are dark.. others are lighter in color..
the lighter colored circles..
Subhan Allah it represents..
it tells us a story about this tree..
it says that at that time of its age..
there was..
sufficient nutrients and the weather was good.. for this tree!
What about the dark circle!!
It indicates that..
the weather at that time was tough summer..
What they are doing now..
they are working with the pieces of wood that was previously cleaned in a first round..
at the area of collection..
Now, here, they do deeper cleaning..
and also they do grading..
Subhan, Allah, while looking at that wood..
from this wood, comes the great provision that Allah, Almighty, has granted the countries of East Asia, specifically!
'We have beauty..'
'have hearing, vision, and a brain that is still..'
'finding signs of perfection in this body.'
'And the eyes will see'
'how can a plant have branches from a seed?!'
'And between excrements and blood, milk is formed'
'Fasero..'
'If it wasn't because of Allah, it wouldn't have occurred..'
We have trees in our country.. at the Gulf area..
or let's say anywhere else in the world..
why these molds do not infect them?!
only here..?!
They don't.. Subhan Allah.. this is just a grace..
that Allah, Almighty, has given me..
You know the Amazon rainforests..
very big forests..
also Africa..
but they don't have the agarwood!
this is a provision from Allah.. Subhan Allah..
Yes!
You can take any of these trees and plant them in Kuwait..
like this one.. Yes!
and it will grow to a big tree..
but don't expect that it will produce Oud!
because it doesn't have the mold that can not live in a place like Kuwait..
The highest forest densities are found in the forests of regions such as Russia, Scandinavia and North America. However, the largest forest areas are found in the tropics, home to about 43% of the world's trees
The US is highest producer of wood among the countries that produce wood in the world.
then comes China..
then India..
then Brazil..
then Russia..
then Indonesia..
also we have south Africa..
Congo..
and Nigeria..
these are the most important countries..
that produce wood..
Some of the countries have put laws, that when you cut a tree, you must plant three trees!
two or three trees..
to replace this tree!
Why? to have balance!
I never hear about a wood that is more expensive than the agarwood [Oud]
Who has deprived the Amazon forests the agarwood.. and who has planted it in East Asia?!
Exalted He is The Withholder.. The Expander..
He gives and takes..
Provision is not as we choose!
But, it is as the will of Allah, Almighty..
He, Subhanahu, He knows what is best for you!
listen to this verse..
"And if Allah had extended [excessively] provision for His servants, they would have committed tyranny throughout the earth."
" But He sends [it] down in an amount which He wills. Indeed He is, of His servants, Acquainted and Seeing."
'Before it's the right time..'
'nothing was there..'
'there was no time.. no place!'
'Allah just said to the universe; Be.. and it is!'
'Life will be beautiful..'
'If we just have reflected upon the signs given from Al-Ilah..'
'beautify your vision by.. looking at all that is made by His Hands..
'Fasero..'
'you will see how Allah has created it..'
'Fasero..'
'There is no a fault to be found..'
