What is the significance of Ajwa dates?

Ajwa dates hold deep cultural and religious significance. They are mentioned in Islamic tradition and are believed to have numerous health benefits. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) spoke highly of Ajwa dates, and many people enjoy them for their natural sweetness, soft texture, and health benefits. It is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said “If somebody takes seven ajwa dates in the morning, neither magic nor poison will hurt him that day” (Sahih Bukhari 5769). Most of the scholars are of the view that this applies only to the dates of Madinah, and specifically to a particular type of the dates of Madinah, namely ‘ajwah dates, which grow in ‘Aaliyat al-Madinah (Ajwa Aaliyah). This is most likely to be correct, and it is the apparent meaning of the hadith. (islamqa.info)

What is the difference between Ajwa and Ajwa Aaliyah?

Ajwa Aaliyah dates are a premium variety of Ajwa dates, grown in the rich volcanic soil south of the Prophet’s Masjid (Masjid Quba) in Medina. This special region is known for its fertile land, which enhances the dates' deep flavor, soft texture, and superior quality. Due to their unique growing conditions and historical significance, Ajwa Aaliyah dates are among the most prized dates in the world.
