The article above expounds more on the 'trees" theme and symbolism in Islam. In my previous post which had a quote on trees in Islam, looking at the four trees, on an immediate, superficial level, one can associate the world tree with the world, the garden of eden tree with the lovers, and the infernal tree with the devil. There's also probably a number of Islamic depictions and descriptions of the celestial bodies which may be useful for the tarot's 'celestial' cards (sun, moon, star) out there. So there's potential to look for major arcana equivalents, if one wants to go in that direction.
Just really throwing out ideas here. Hope they help.
