with its matchless fragrance. The red, green or yellow peel of an apple has a
smooth sheen. Humans cannot imitate the quality of the taste and smell, an
aroma particular to it, of its sweet juice.
Then, the question may occur to one: how do all those flowers, trees,
vegetables and fruits have so many different colours although they come out
of the same arid soil? This is evidence of the endless knowledge of Allah and
His creating without any preceding model. It is impossible for man to create
a new colour. All colours produced by people are only copies of the originals
existing in nature. However, Allah is the Originator, and the creation of all the
colours describing the living creatures on earth is His. Allah's artistry in cre-
ation is matchless. One of the names of Allah, the All-Powerful, is al-
Musawwir – the One Who forms His creatures in different forms. Allah cre-
ates everything He creates in the most perfect forms.
He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the
Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him.
He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr: 24)
The colours and appearance of all plants on the earth have been created
in such a way as to appeal to the human soul. In fruits and vegetables, there
is a matchless diversity of colour. On the other hand, when we think of flow-
ers and trees we again see the same aesthetic appearance and diversity of
colour.
There is also a totally unequalled colour and pattern design in flowers.
Each of the hundreds of thousand kinds of flowers has been furnished with
particular characteristics exclusive to its kind. Today, the perfumes, patterns
and colours produced by men are all imitations of their original counterparts
in nature. For instance, the purple colour of the leaves of violets, which are
soft like velvet, and the smoothness of the surface of their leaves are match-
less. Velvet fabrics are produced in imitation of the texture of violets but a
similar quality can never be achieved.
With this approach, no matter what plant we examine on the earth, the
conclusion we arrive at is that it is a perfect creation. Allah, Who has no part-
ners in creation, creates plants for men with different tastes, fragrances,
colours and forms. What falls to us is to reflect on the signs Allah creates and
to be grateful.
