form a venous system that will serve as a skeleton. It is definitely impos-
sible for these developments to come about by coincidence. Therefore, the
answer to the question is very simple; it is Allah Who has designed and

The average leaf can be compared to a piece of limp cloth laid over
the veins that serve as a mechanical support. In order for this system to
function effectively, the plant also needs to expend very little energy to

it, secondary supports or struts stretch from the main out to the leaf edg-
