Plants Emit Heat
“Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it].” [Qur’an, 20:50]
There are many wonders in the world of plant; western scientists were astonished from the behaviour of some plants which emit heat when needed.
It would be irrational to believe that these plants are function freely. It is Allah the Almighty who provided these plants with 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 this characteristic the plant wouldn’t be able to stay alive.
One of these plants is called skunk cabbages (in the picture), scientifically ”Symplocarpus foetidus”. It lives in snowy slopes where temperature around the plant is about (-15 C) and temperature of that plant is around 30C. This amazing phenomenon does not exist in any other plant as any plant can’t survive in such temperature for long time.
Today, the scientists are thinking to benefit from the mechanism in these plants to generate electricity to warm houses! These plants produce huge temperature as the difference in temperature is between (-15 and 35). That difference can be used to warm water or houses.
Allah says: And He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth – all from Him. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. [Quran, 45:13]
Are we going to think deeply? We have to remember the divine statement: [It is] the work of Allah, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do. [Qur’an, 27:88]
