88 Allah's Artistry In Colour

artistry belongs to Allah Who is the Creator of all living things.
Let us think about plants, fruits, vegetables, flowers, and trees. Plants,
each having different colours, fragrances and tastes, are evidence of the
artistry in creation of Allah. Each plant you see around you or know from
books has colours and patterns that are exclusive to its kind. The reproduc-
tive process of each is different, the proportions of nectar they contain and
their fragrances are all different. Let us think about roses. There are red,
white, yellow, orange, pink, white edged, double-coloured, even roses with
wavelike colours. Certainly, it would be great blindness for a man who sees
all this not to feel admiration for and not to glimpse the endless might of
Allah, Who is the Creator of all these flowers. In the Qur'an, Allah refers to
those who fail to appreciate the evidence of the creation they see as follows:
How many Signs there are in the heavens and earth! Yet they pass them by
turning away from them. Most of them do not have faith in Allah without as-
sociating others with Him. (Surah Yusuf: 105-106)
Have you ever thought about why plants are green?
As is obvious, the colours prevailing in the world of plants are green
and shades of green. Chlorophyll is the main substance producing green.
