Plant feels pain….Glory to Allah

Many amazing discoveries take attention of scientists but when we read the Qur'an we find that Allah almighty told us about these discoveries in his book ….

Recently, American scientists proved that plant can feel with pain and it talks with other plants as it secretes a sedative material when it feel with pain also it warns other plants in case of dangers by secreting a special material!

The researchers in the US airspace control center were astonished when they discovered that ill plants produce chemical material like aspirin (can be identified in the air around the plant), this material is a part of an immune system to protect them.

That discovery may help farmers to observing that material to identify whether their plants are in good health or not.

Till now, farmers have no method to recognize the health of plants except by their naked eye (dead leafs).

Researcher Thomas Carl says: unlike human who takes aspirin as anti-fever, plants are able to produce its aspirin by secreting proteins to strengthen its biochemical defense system, so it can reduce the infection.

At the same time, researchers confirmed that plants in laboratories produce a kind of aspirin called Methyl Salicylate. Some researchers had launched a measuring system to observe the secreted materials from plants as an observation for the environment in a farm near to California and they found in Surroundings an amount of the Methyl Salicylate.

In similar studies, they found that edible plants for animals produce chemical materials which can be detected by other near plants to warn them from near danger. Also they found the same material in the air of a farm that was subject to changes in the weather (cold at night then hot at day).

Allah supported leaf with some sensitive tools to feel what is happening around it. Also the plant can be affected by words of Allah, although there is no real scientific researches concerning that matter but I believe that plants can be affected by the Qur'an and its power increases also it grows up. There are some researches which confirm that plants get affected by sounds but till now these researches are not documented, we hope that Muslim scientists can do researches about that matter and they will get marvelous results.

Allah is the one who taught these plants to secret that material when feeling with pain? Who supported these plants by those precise machines to secret chemicals to warn others?

Allah said that every thing is glorifying Him, Allah says: (The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.)(Sûrat Al-Isrâ’- verse 44). Also Allah in another verse tells us that everything speaks even our skins in the day of resurrection, God says: (They will say: "Allah has caused us to speak as He causes all things to speak: and He created you the first time, and to Him you are made to return.")(Sûrat Fussilat- verse21). This verse was confusing to skeptics but now and after that discovery it considered being a proof that Qur'an is sincere and that it is a divine made not a human made.

Who guides this sea turtle

Scientists say that many living organisms are using earth's magnetic field in their journey, migration and movement all over the world as Allah almighty put a special program inside brain of these creatures for steering and controlling, let us read….

Recently, scientists had found that some kinds of living organisms can precisely determine their place of birth so that they can return back after years of migration without deviation from the target place such as the Salmon and sea turtle !scientists are confused about that phenomenon, what guides them toward their target?

The most recent theory confirm that these creatures use the magnetic field of earth, every place on earth whether in ground or sea has its distinguished "magnetic signature" and these creatures are guided by that signature by special and complicated programs and special cells as they detect and store that magnetic field to be used later. Scientists call that science "movement ecology".

Despite that discovery, scientists are still confused about that phenomenon.

But, we are Muslims are not confused about this amazing phenomenon because God be He exalted and blessed told us that He almighty is the one who gave all creatures its form and systems and He had subjected all needed methods for their life, Allah says: (Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright) (Sûrat Tâ-Hâ-verse 50).look at the mercy of Allah who didn't forget these creatures(He is exalted to forget anything ) and subjected the magnetic field of earth for them to live in safe and to rely on it during their movement.

Also He almighty had supported these creatures with special programs in the brain (specially the forelock) so they can control and steer themselves.

In the Qur'an there is a nice sign about all of that as He almighty says: (There is not a moving (living) creature but He has the grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on the Straight Path (the truth).)(Sûrat Hûd-verse56).

O' My God grasp our forelock toward good deeds……..

Cockroaches look like human

God be He exalted says: (but are communities like you) (Sûrat Al-An’âm-verse38), recently the scientists confirmed the sincerity of that verse by a scientific research which express the magnificence of the divine statement…

In a great verse Allah almighty tells us about a scientific fact , world of insects is unknown for us, at the time of the descending of Qur'an people were believing that insects are stupid creatures and they don't looks like human , but lately the scientists had proved the opposite as a confirmation of God' saying: (There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, and then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered.) (Sûrat Al-An’âm-verse38).

This verse confirms that all living organisms (birds, insects and cattle) are like human.

The new scientific research confirms that most of insects are like human in their communities, life and illness!! For example cockroaches are like human as it became weak when ageing. American researchers had illustrated that when cockroaches reach old age their movement slows down, experiences stiff joints, and will have problems when climbing. Death comes shortly after the onset of

Bee is faster than supercomputers

Inside brain of the bee there are processors much faster than supercomputers despite its size(less than Pinhead), its speed is up to one trillion operation per second , let us read and glorify Allah ….

Scientists had found that the bee is using ultra violet ray for vision; wave of this ray is short so that bee can see faster than human. It has to distinguish quickly while flying searching for food among the flowers. when it watch a video it can only see constant photos because its vision speed is more than human as it distinguish the photos in a film one by one.

Processing speed in the bee

Scientists say that bee can perform one trillion arithmetic operations in one second which is faster than any computer in the world!

A real colored photo for eye of bee where there is superior thirty thousand lenses!! This enables the bee for better vision, today scientists are trying to mimic something like that but they are incapable in front of the precise divine design. Look at small head that contains thousands of millions of cells. All of them are working simultaneously in a tremendous speed which is more than the most complicated computers. Glory to Allah!!

Eye of bee consists of thousands of small lenses taking the hexagonal shape, scientists found that this design helps the bee for better vision in forests and to avoid collision with each others. Scientists who believe in secularism are wondering from that perfect design as its brain contains thousands of millions of cells and the size of the brain is less than Pinhead.

Professor Luke Lee one of the famous artificial eye designers who tried to imitate an eye like eye of bee said: "I wanted to understand how nature can create layer upon layer of perfectly ordered structures without expensive fabrication technology".

The answer is in God's saying: (He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife? He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything.* such is Allah, your Lord! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Creator of all things. So worship Him (Alone), and He is the Wakîl (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things.* No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. He is Al-Latîf (the Most Subtle and Courteous), Well-Acquainted with all things.)(Sûrat Al-An’âm-verse101-103).

A plant dissolves ice!!

In our universe there are many strange phenomena, one of these phenomena is a plant which lives in ice and heats the surrounding area to stay alive ….

There are many wonders in the world of plant [1]; western scientists were astonished from the behavior of some plants which emits heat when needed.

It would be irrational to believe that these plants are without brain or they don't understand, instead we have to believe that Allah almighty had supported those plants with a sensitive detectors to detect the ambient temperature, when temperature descends to lower level, a special system in that plant starts to generate energy which is resulted from some chemical operations to heat ice and dissolves it.

Scientists had observed that when temperature is around zero degrees centigrade, temperature of that plant would be "between" 30 to 36 degree centigrade, without that characteristic the plant wouldn't be able to stay alive.

One of these plants is called [2] skunk cabbages or scientifically ''Symplocarpus foetidus''. It lives in snowy slops where temperature around the plant is about (-15 C) and temperature of that plant is around 30C. This amazing phenomenon is not existed in any other creature as any creature can't live in such temperature for long time.

A plant heats ice and dissolve it in a temperature up to 36 C where the surrounded temperature is up to(-15 C)

Hence we can understand that this kind of plants works as an air conditioner as it posses a detection system to detect the surrounded temperature, if the temperature dropped below a certain level the conditioner works and when the temperature rises to a certain level the conditioner stops. So, we find that this plant was programmed by the creator Almighty to work properly without spare parts or maintains….

But the heating mechanism of that plant still vague till now [3], bur Allah almighty tells us about his graces for that plant and for all creatures as He says: (Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright.)(Sûrat Tâ-Hâ- verse 50).

This verse means that Allah had created every thing and then He guided them to be compatible with the environment to stay alive…..

The plant uses a vague precise mechanism. So scientists are asking, how can the plant controls temperature like that? How can it get this energy? What are the used techniques? The doer of all of that is Allah almighty who said: (Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright.)(Sûrat Tâ-Hâ- verse 50).

Today, the scientists are thinking to benefit from the difference of temperature in these plants to generate electricity to warm houses! These plants produce a huge temperature as the difference in temperature is between (-15 and 35).that difference can be used to warm water or houses.

Hence there is a free energy from that plant, God says: (See you not that Allah has subjected to you (mankind) all that is on the earth) (Sûrat Al-Hajj- verse 65), the word subjected means to offer a service for free (free of charge) so we can benefit from these plants to get a free energy.

Allah almighty says: (And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth; it is all as a favor and kindness from Him. Verily, in it are signs for a people who think deeply.)(Sûrat Al-Jâthiyah- verse 13).

Are we going to think deeply? We have to remember the divine statement: (The Work of Allah, Who perfected all things, verily He is Well-Acquainted with what you do.)(Sûrat an-Naml- verse 88).

Birds don't accept adultery

For many years, scientists believed that birds are fighting and competing to get the female without any ethical rules. But is it the truth? Let us read ….

A new study for a tropical bird called "manakins" illustrated that male who wins the grand prize to get the female is the only one who lives with her till death, but after that his counterpart may marry and lives with his widow!!! That sincerity may not be found in human life.

What happens is that the tropical male birds perform a courtship song and dance, but the alpha male gets the girl every time. The dance, dubbed "backwards leapfrog", was filmed in Costa Rica by zoologists from the University of Wyoming.

"At first glance, it appears like a competitive [dance-off] but in fact it is a co-operative pact between buddies" says Dr David McDonald, of Wyoming University. Also he added" As far as I know it is the only example of male-male [mating] co-operation in the animal kingdom".

Hence we can say that there are two males: the (Alfa) who marries the female and the (Beta) who waits till the death of Alfa. Meanwhile the beta spends five years playing second fiddle. But he eventually inherits the mating site.

Here it is nice to say that the male birds' partnership lasts up to five years, during that time, the beta male does not copulate as he has to wait until alpha male dies - he doesn't kick him out. So he may be waiting until he's 10, 15 or even older. In return, he will eventually inherit the mating site and become the alpha himself.

The network of relations by the male decides his role in the courtship song and dance. "As males grow up, they go through a complex network of social interactions, as how well connected a young male is will predict how he will do - whether he becomes an alpha or a beta." says Dr McDonald.

In fact the females don't know the males individually. They map the sites where males are doing really hot performances. But how do the males decide which of them is the alpha? Dr McDonald says" It is not a case of who is a better dancer, what it comes down to is how -well connected- he is among his buddies".

From this study we can conclude that birds have high level of Morality and cooperation which is considered to be evidence that world of birds looks like our world. God be He blessed and exalted says: (There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered.)(Sûrat Al-An’âm- verse38).

Also we can realize that those creatures can think and can distinguish between right and wrong, we see in mankind some people who looks at what others have got of livelihood (wife, money, sons, etc…).

Notice: most of animals and birds are like human as we can find lying, cheating and bluffing in their life, also they can distinguish between Good and evil, so the koranic description is very precise and accurate.
