God Has Created The Beautiful World Of Plants 87

Bananas contain various carbohydrates and an important quan-
tity of potassium which, when eaten by humans, ensure the devel-

opment of cells and muscles, adjust the level of water in the body,
and keep the heart beating normally. Together with these advan-
tages, God tells in the Qur'an (56:28-33) that bananas are among the
fruits of paradise: "Amid thornless lote-trees, and banana-trees
[with fruits], one above another. And extended shade, and water
flowing constantly, and abundant fruit, neither intercepted nor for-
bidden." Like all other blessings, the bananas in Paradise will
surely be perfect compared with those on Earth. But in this world,
God has created something similar to the blessings of Paradise to
benefit human beings.
