For the construction of a
building’s water system,
many components are first
built separately. Then, these
components are combined so
that water can reach all parts
of the building. Plants also
have a pipeline and pumps
that permit nutrients and wa-
ter to rise upward and reach
every cell of the plant. This
system has been designed
with the same flawlessness in
all the plants on Earth. With
all their characteristics,
plants are important exam-
ples of the incomparable na-
ture of Allah’s creative
artistry.

can also see time regulators installed at specific points, thermostats, hu-
midity gauges, feedback systems and temperature control mechanisms.
The veins that run like a network of pipelines through every part of
the leaf permit water and other raw materials to reach the production
units, and also allow the carbohydrates obtained from those units to be
distributed to the plant’s tissues. In a plant with trunks or stems, a sepa-
rate system of vertical pipelines also sends sap to the leaves and returns
sugars to the plant’s interior in order for it to be nourished.

These channels are not limited to carrying essential fluids; they also
serve as an internal skeleton to support the tree and its leaves. In artificial
structures, a building’s load-bearing elements (its columns and beams)
and its water pipes are constructed separately. The way that these two
functions are served by a single system in plants is a marvel of design,
whose details we shall be examining in the next chapter.
