The Incredible Seed

The way that plants, with all their different beauties, emerge

out of the soil is a great miracle. It is astonishing how a plant turns
toward the Sun and reaches upward, how its branches thicken, and
how it possesses a system capable of carrying water and minerals
upward against the force of gravity. There is something quite ex-
traordinary in how fresh green leaves sprout from a plant’s dry
branches, how flowers with stunning colors and matchless per-
fumes appear from among them, and how fruit specially created
for humanity in terms of its taste, smell, and benefit then appears.
There is sublime artistry in the way that a seed, just 1-2 cm (0.4-0.78
in) in diameter, causes all of these miracles that occur in each plant.
Allah hides every piece of information about a plant inside the
tiny seed from which it grows: each branch and leaf and their
shape and color, the thickness of their outer casing, the width and
quantity of the ducts that carry food and water, the plant’s height,

and color. Evolutionists, who invent implausible scenarios to ex-
plain such miracles away, cannot appreciate His sublime artistry
and might and thus fail to understand that He wills such complex-
ities to exist. They seek to ignore that they are unable to create even
a single fruit, leaf, seed, or living cell. Only Almighty Allah, Who

The grape seeds shown below give rise to the delicious grapes
hanging down from the vines. Allah makes a tiny seed
placed in the ground the direct cause of these fruits
and creates delicious and sweet-smelling blessings.
This is His art of detail.
