Page 139 - Photosynthesis: The Green Miracle

hotosynthesis is an extraordinary

chemical process that should be closely
examined by anyone eager to bear clos-
er witness to the infinite knowledge and might of
Allah. Photosynthesis is a matchless process that
scientists have still not fully understood today. We
can never see this process with the naked eye be-
cause this mechanism uses electrons, atoms and
molecules to function. However, we can appreci-
ate the oxygen given off by the process that per-

mits us to breathe, and see its results in the foods
that enable us to survive. Photosynthesis is a sys-
tem built on hard-to-understand chemical formu-
lae and delicate balances involving units, num-
bers, sizes and weights the like of which few peo-
ple have ever encountered before. Trillions of min-
iaturized chemical laboratories in which this proc-

ess takes place have been established in all the
green plants around us and have been producing
the oxygen nutrients and energy that we need,
non-stop, for millions of years.
Closer examination of the magnificent design
of photosynthesis will afford a closer knowledge
of one of the most important proofs of creation.
Let’s have a closer look at this process that takes
place in a space to small to be seen with the naked

eye.
