The "Tree of Immortality" ({{langx|ar|شجرة الخلود}}) is the tree of life motif as it appears in the [[Quran]]. It is also alluded to in hadiths and tafsir. Unlike the [[Tree of life (biblical)|biblical account]], the Quran mentions only one tree in Eden, also called " the tree of immortality and power that never decays",<ref name="Qur'an 20:120">{{qref|20|120|b=y}}.</ref> which [[God in Islam|God]] specifically forbade to Adam and Eve.<ref>{{cite book |last=Wheeler |first=Brannon |year=2002 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Lo9jAavEHdIC&q=%22tree+in+the+shade%22&pg=PA24 |title=Prophets in the Quran: An Introduction to the Quran and Muslim Exegesis |edition=annotated |publisher=Continuum |isbn=978-0826449566 |page=24 |quote=''Abu Hurayrah'': The Prophet Muhammad said: "In Paradise is a tree in the shade of which the stars course 100 years without cutting it: the Tree of Immortality.}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |editor=Oliver Leaman |editor-link=Oliver Leaman |year=2006 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=isDgI0-0Ip4C&q=%22special+tree+in+Eden%22&pg=PA11 |title=The Qur'an: An Encyclopedia |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=9780415326391 |page=11 |quote=Unlike the biblical account of Eden, the Qur'an mentions only one special tree in Eden, the Tree of Immortality, from which Adam and Eve were prohibited.}}</ref>

The tree in Quran is used as an example of a concept, idea, way of life or code of life. A good concept/idea is represented as a good tree and a bad idea/concept is represented as a bad tree<ref>{{qref|14|24|b=y}}.</ref> Muslims believe that when God created Adam and Eve, he told them that they could enjoy everything in the Garden except this tree (idea, concept, way of life).[[Iblis|Satan]] appeared to them and told them that the only reason God forbade them to eat from that tree was that they would become [[angels in Islam|angels]] or they start using the idea/concept of [[Ownership]] in conjunction with inheritance generations after generations which [[Iblis]] convinced Adam to accept<ref name="Qur'an 20:120"/><ref>{{qref|20|120|b=y}}, "But Satan whispered to him, saying, “O Adam! Shall I show you the Tree of Immortality and a kingdom that does not fade away?”"</ref>

When Adam and Eve ate from this tree their nakedness appeared to them and they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden.<ref>{{qref|20|121|b=y}}</ref>

The hadiths also speak about other trees in heaven.<ref>Maulana Muhammad Ali (2011) ''Introduction to the Study of the Holy Qur'an'' "This in itself gives an indication that it is the well-known tree of evil, for both good and evil are compared to two trees in {{qref|14|24-25|b=y}} and elsewhere. This is further corroborated by the devil's description of it as "the tree of immortality" ({{qref|20|120|b=y}}), ..."</ref> 

The tree of life in Islamic architecture is a type of [[biomorphism|biomorphic pattern]] found in many artistic traditions. It is considered to be any vegetal pattern with a clear origin or growth. The pattern in [[al-Azhar Mosque]], [[Cairo]]'s [[mihrab]], a unique [[Fatimid architecture|Fatimid architectural variation]], is a series of two or three leave [[palmette]]s with a central palmette of five leaves from which the pattern originates. The growth is upwards and outwards and culminates in a lantern like flower towards the top of the niche above which is a small roundel. The curvature of the niche accentuates the undulating movement which despite its complexity is symmetrical along its vertical axis. The representations of varying palm leaves hints to spiritual growth attained through prayer while the upwards and side wards movement of the leaves speaks to the different motions of the worshiper while in [[salah]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=El Barbary|first1=Mohamed|last2=Al Tohamy|first2=Aisha|last3=Ali|first3=Ehab|date=2017-02-01|title=Shiite Connotations on Islamic Artifacts from the Fatimid period (358-567 A.H/ 969-1171 A.D) Preserved in the Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo|journal=International Journal of Heritage, Tourism and Hospitality|volume=11|issue=3 (Special Issue)|pages=121–137|doi=10.21608/ijhth.2017.30225|issn=2636-414X|doi-access=free}}</ref>

====Ahmadiyya====
According to the Indian [[Ahmadiyya]] movement founded in 1889, Quranic reference to the tree is symbolic; eating of the forbidden tree signifies that Adam disobeyed God.<ref>{{cite web |author=Khalid |first=Bilal |date=2000-02-13 |title=Quran, Adam and Original Sin |url=http://www.alislam.org/library/links/original_sin.html |access-date=June 7, 2014 |publisher=Al Islam}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | url=http://www.alislam.org/quran/tafseer/?page=87&region=E1&CR=EN,E2 | title=The Holy Quran with English Translation and Commentary Volume 1 | page=86 | publisher=Islam International Publications | access-date=June 7, 2014}}</ref>
