THE MIRACLE IN THE SEED

An embryo protected by a waterproof overcoat can some-
times travel far from the mother plant, in a dormant state
throughout this journey. For example, even when the
horse chestnut and the soybean reach their destina-
tions, they can stay dormant for months. However, the
seed requires this waiting time, which is brought about
as a result of complex processes. This strategy ensures
that germination will start at the most propitious time and
in the right environment, because once it begins, there is no
going back. If the external conditions are unfavorable, the delicate young
seedling cannot survive. The seed’s dormant stage helps lessen this risk.

alternative that evolutionists put forward.
Plants, and the seeds that produce them, have been created per-
fectly by God, together with all their present-day characteristics.
Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not
pay heed? If you tried to number God’s blessings, you could never
count them. God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Qur’an, 16:17-
18)
