"Allah, the Exalted, is the One who sends down rain from the
heavens, causing a diverse range of plants to grow. From these plants, He
produces verdant foliage, from which grains and ears sprout, along with
clusters of dates and a variety of fruits within reach of humanity. Allah has
fashioned gardens with varying types of grapes, olives, and pomegranates.
Reflect upon the process of fruit-bearing and ripening; embedded within these
plants are signs and lessons for the discerning believer." (Al-An'am 100)
"Allah is the One who directs the winds toward the seas, gathering
water vapor, which we then use to irrigate arid, barren lands."
(Fatir 9)
It is universally acknowledged that all life
within the cosmos depends upon nourishment. Human beings satisfy their
nutritional requirements through diverse consumables, such as meat, lentils,
salt, and wheat. Some creatures derive sustenance from grass, while carnivorous
animals feed on other creatures, birds subsist on seeds, and insects feed on
the earth itself. Plants, on the other hand, receive their nourishment from
nitrogen, lime, potash, and hydrogen. The earth, in turn, derives its
sustenance from the decomposition of fallen leaves, bones, manure, blood, and
hair. To sustain and distribute energy across the extensive surface of the
planet, Allah has established an intricate and profound system powered by the
sun's rays. When these rays fall upon the seas, they cause the water to
evaporate, which rises and eventually precipitates as rain, replenishing the
earth and triggering the resurgence of creative potential within it.
The phenomenon of lightning serves as a remarkable testament to Allah’s
creative power. By sending down rain from the heavens, the Creator bestows
vitality upon desolate lands. In this process, there exist valuable lessons for
those who contemplate with wisdom. (Ar-Rum 24)
"Do you not observe that Allah sends down water from the heights of
the sky, which infiltrates the earth's crevices and emerges as springs, from
which a variety of crops flourish?" (Az-Zumar 31)
"You witness the earth's transformation when it is parched, yet
upon receiving the rain, it rejoices. The dormant forces within it are roused,
and it yields beautiful trees, grass, and diverse plants, all appearing in
pairs." (Al-Hajj 5)
Scholars of spiritual science assert that trees, like humans, engage in
forms of communication. They partake in sustenance, respiration, growth, and
reproduction. Furthermore, they too engage in struggles, utilizing wisdom and
strategic intelligence akin to human warfare.
The earth is home to numerous herbs, with seeds that are often
minuscule, some even twenty times smaller than poppy seeds. Allah, in His
infinite wisdom, has crafted these seeds with intertwined leaves, a stem that
anchors into the earth, and a knot which stores nutrients prior to the seed's
rooting. Reflect upon the intricacies of life encapsulated within such a small
seed. If Allah has concealed such an immense store of life within a mere seed,
then consider the immeasurable treasures contained within humanity, the
vicegerents of Allah.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
