QURANIC TEACHING ABOUT ANIMALS AND PLANTS LIFE
Almighty Allah has conveyed a great knowledge about animals and plants through our Holy book the Quran. A few of the Ayah are quoted as under:
It says about the origin of life that;
"We made every living thing of water. Will they not then believe?"
(Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayah 30)
"And Allah has created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goes upon its belly and (a kind) that goes upon two legs and (a kind) that goes upon four. Allah creates what He will. Lo! Allah is able to do all things."
(Surah Al-Nur, Ayah 45)
An Egyptian mufassir, Allama Abdullah Yusuf Ali has symbolised water with the protoplasm and thus explains that the protoplasm is the basis of all living matter and "the vital power of protoplasm seems to depend on the constant presence of water."
"He it is who sends down water from the sky and therewith we bring forth buds of every kind; We bring forth the green blade from which we bring forth the thick-clustered grain; and from the date-palm, from the pollen thereof, spring pendant bunches; and (we bring forth) gardens of grapes, and the olive and the pomegranate, alike and unlike. Look upon the fruit thereof, when they bear fruit, and upon its ripening. Lo! Herein verily are portents for a people who believe."
(Surah Al-An'am, Ayah 100)
Holy Quran has explained the significance of water for plants and animals at several places.
"Who has appointed the earth as a bed and has threaded roads for you therein and has sent down water from the sky and thereby We have brought forth divers kinds of vegetation."
(Surah Ta-ha, Ayah S3)
Glorious Quran has also revealed some facts about the growth and variety of plants.
"And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike which are watered with one water. And We have made some of them to excel others in fruit. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense."
(Surah Al Ra'd, Ayah 4)
"Lo! Allah (it is) who splitteth the grain of corn and the date-stone (for sprouting). He brings forth the living from the dead, and is the bringer-forth of the dead from the living. Such is Allah. How then are you pervented?"
(Surah Al-An'am, Ayah 96)
Above passage refers to the wonderful act of production and also interaction of living and dead.
Allah has also indicated the usefulness of some of the plants and animals to the human welfare. The following Ayah can be quoted for reference.
"And Lo! In the cattle there is a lesson for you, We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the drinkers."
(Surah An-Nahal, Ayah 66)
"And the earth have We spread out and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow there in."
(Surah Al-Hijr, Ayah 19)
The Holy Quran also informs us about the mechanism of reproduction.
"Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not!"
(Surah Ya-sin, Ayah 36)
"And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: choose thou habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they hatch; then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of thy lord made smooth (for thee). There cometh forth from their bellies a drink diverse of hues, wherein is healing for mankind Lo! Here is indeed a portent for people who reflect."
(Surah Al-Nahal, Ayah 68-69)
