سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 95
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ فَالِقُ ٱلْحَبِّ وَٱلنَّوَىٰ ۖ يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ وَمُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَيِّتِ مِنَ ٱلْحَىِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ ﴿95﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily! It is Allâh Who causes the seed-grain and the fruit-stone (like date-stone) to split and sprout. He brings forth the living from the dead, and it is He Who brings forth the dead from the living. Such is Allâh, then how are you deluded away from the truth?

95. Indeed, it is Allah who splits the grain and the seed [97.1]. He brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living [98]. That is Allah—so how are you deluded?
[97۔ 1]
Allah’s Powers in the Growth of Plants:
This is a very great proof of Allah Almighty being the Creator, Owner, and All-Powerful, that He is the One who splits every kind of grain or seed and every kind of fruit stone. When the seed of a grain or the stone of a fruit is buried in the ground, and then that ground is watered, the seed or stone splits and divides into two parts, and two shoots emerge. One shoot starts growing downward into the earth in the form of a root, and the other shoot, becoming a sprout, breaks through the earth and emerges from it. Then from this, leaves, fruits, and flowers begin to appear. And despite the fact that the seed is one, the earth is one, the water is one, and the nature is one, yet the effects of the shoot that emerges above the ground are completely different from those of the shoot that goes into the ground, and the characteristics of the shoot that emerges above are also of many kinds. The shape of the leaves is different, the flowers are different, and the fruits are different, and every seed or stone produces the leaves and fruits of the very plant to which it belongs. All these things point to the perfect craftsmanship of Allah’s power.
[98]
Proof of the Hereafter:
This is the second proof of Allah being the Creator, Owner, and All-Powerful, that He brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. No human or any other creature can do both these things. Then, when this is the situation, how can others become partners in Allah’s authority and control? There are also many forms of bringing forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. For example, Allah created man from clay, which is a lifeless thing, and then made all his needs dependent on this very clay or earth. Then this living human, after dying, returns to this lifeless earth. From this very reality, Allah Almighty has argued for the Resurrection. For example, plants and trees grow from the earth, in which there are signs of life, then these very things, after mixing with the earth, become lifeless again. Or, for example, a chicken produces an egg, then a chicken is produced from the egg. Thus, there are countless examples in this world of the living coming from the dead and the dead from the living, and all these are such acts that are beyond the power of any human or any other being. The Hereafter can be analogized from this, and it is not difficult to understand that after the human body mixes with the earth and becomes earth, Allah has the power to create him again from the earth itself.
