The Aeration System: Another Miracle in the Leaf
Some plants live with not just their roots under water, but large parts
of their stems as well. The roots of these plants, which never contact the

air at all, can sometimes lie more than 4 meters (13 feet) deep. It is impos-
sible for oxygen to reach such depths by simple means. However, Allah
has created the most appropriate system for these plants. The flawless
aeration system in these plants, whose roots lie deep down under the wa-
ter, can be compared to the structure of a skyscraper 300 meters (984 feet)
tall and consisting of a hundred floors. In such high-rise buildings, one of
the most important problems that engineers need to solve is that of aera-
tion. Such buildings employ highly advanced technologies to resolve this
difficulty. Many details—such as the air-conditioning spaces and their di-

mensions, the regions where the air conditioning units are to be installed,
how fresh air is to be distributed to the different floors, and how used air
is to be extracted from them—are all calculated while the building is still
in the planning stages, and plans for the project are drawn up according-
ly.
Certain regions in the blueprint are left empty in such a way as to
form air shafts during the building’s construction, and air conditioning

pipes can later be installed into them. Finally, the air-conditioning ma-
chinery itself and special air-conditioning systems are assembled on the
various floors, and especially on the roof.
When a plant’s structures are closely examined, they can be seen to
employ air conditioning systems within themselves far superior to those
used in modern skyscrapers. This, of course, is a great miracle. The fact
that an air conditioning system, an architectural and engineering marvel,
is built into the internal structure of a plant devoid of any intelligence
proves that the plant must have been created by a highly superior

Intelligence.
The “engines” of this air-conditioning system are the leaves. Just as
in a physical system, some structures must draw in clean air while other
