[12] From this manifestation of perfect power, firstly, there is evidence for life after death. Secondly, the grains from these crops and the fruits from these trees, which provide sustenance, become the cause for the survival of all humans and living beings. This is the second proof of Allah Almighty’s power: how He arranges the provision for all His creations.

Evidence for Resurrection from the Growth of Plants:
The mountains of Arabia, especially those around Makkah and its surroundings, are extremely dry mountains where no greenery is visible. There is intense heat, and there are some areas where it does not rain for many years. But when it does rain, even there, some greenery grows. Grass sprouts, and insects of the earth are also produced. In the plains, it can be assumed that perhaps the roots of last year’s grass have remained to some extent, or some ground insect might have survived by taking refuge in some shelter, and with the rain, its species began to flourish, or a seed of some tree might have remained in the ground with a spark of life, and upon rain, it sprouted. But in such areas that are extremely hot and rocky, there is no question of any seed or ground insect surviving until the next rainy season. And the question that arises is: after all, where do the insects of the earth or plants come from in such areas? Then, if Allah Almighty can bring forth these things from the earth even without the seeds of plants and insects of the earth, then surely He can also resurrect and bring forth from the earth those humans who died thousands of years ago and have mingled with the soil.
