A male gamete (of a pollen grain) and a female gamete (of an ovule)
fuse to produce a new plant whose the same hereditary characteristics
of their parents.
· The new plant will separate from the parent plant, and usually there
will be no relation between them after the maturity of the seed and the
grain. The new plant will neither be under the wing of the parent plant
nor protect or strengthen it. Instead, the new plant would weaken its
parent plant if it grew in the vicinity.
· It takes a long time till new plants flower and fruit, especially in the
case of trees and bushes.
Cuttings, buds, grafting, roots, stems, etc are among asexual methods

· New plants are of genetic characteristics and appearance which are
identical to those of their parent plant.
· New plants are flowering and fruiting quickly, especially in the case
of trees and bushes. This is because the “Flowering Hormone” is
produced in tissues of the parent plant and passed to new plants (cf. my
book, Miraculous Verses of the Holy Quran and the Plant Life).
· A new plant (shoot) strengthens and protects its parent plant.

(Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon), Sudan, and Egypt, and every place
they or there straight righteous followers have reached or will reach.
Allah, glory and exaltation to Him, says: (It is He Who has sent His
Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over
all religion: and enough is Allah for a Witness. Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against
Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see
them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from
Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being)
the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and
their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its shoot,
then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own
stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the
Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them
who believe and do righteous deeds, Forgiveness, and a great
Reward). (Verses: 28 & 29 of Al-Fat-h Surah)

It is mentioned in Bible that there would be people who would grow like
plants, some of who would enjoin good and forbid evil. This is the same
example that Allah gives for the beginning of Islam, its promoting and its
growing strength. This is because the Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, first started by himself, then Allah strengthened him by his
companions.
Dr. Wahba Al-Zuhaily, may Allah protect him, has stated in the “Bright
Commentary” that:
In (Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous
deeds, ) Allah says (those among them) not to specify only some of
them, but to specify the class, i.e. the Companions of the Prophet
Muhammad, because all of them are of the same mentioned feature.
Other honest commentators, such as Al-Qurtuby, Al-Nasfy, Ebn
Al-Anbary, and Ebn Katheer have stated similar commentaries. So keep
this in mind.

Also, palm trees have such characteristics; several palm shoots grow
from their original palm tree.
When farmers see shoots grow and surround their origins, they become
filled with wonder, delight and calmness as they become assured that
the roots of their (original) plant have gown and their leaves have
strengthened. After a while, they see the ground is covered with several
shoots, which are exactly like the origins. Then, thousands of flowers
grow and bring forth fruits, seeds, and grains. In the case of some
plants, one seed produces more than five thousand seeds, and “Allah
giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: and Allah careth
for all and He knoweth all things.”
(Verse 261 of Surah 2: Al-Baqarah 'The Heifer').

Each of us can be (a shoot) that spread true religion via the Internet
without changing or distorting. However, the most important things to
keep in mind are to avoid irregularities and defects, i.e. to depend on
true sources, to honestly transmit their information and facts, and to
mention those sources.

Thus, the Prophet Mohammed is the origin; and his Companions and
their orthodox successors are the branches and twigs surrounding the
parent plant. If we transplant each branch in a new place, depending on
the vegetative method, each of them will work just as well if it is the
origin plant. This is a miraculous Quranic scientific example which
makes clear the fact that the Companions of the Prophet Mohammed,
may Allah be pleased with them, have followed his lead, without
changing or distorting and that everyone who follows their example is of
such esteemed rank.

difficult to be exploited directly by living beings, into chemical energy.
Likewise, they exploit and maintain carbon dioxide.

hearts and minds depend on the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon
him.
· Plant provides the Earth with the essential constituents for the living
beings. Likewise, the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him,
provides it with essential constituents for human beings to enable them
to live on it in a sound way. “Give your response to Allah and His
Messenger, when He calleth you to that which will give you life.” (Surah
8: Al-Anfal, 'The Spoils of War').

and a provision most generous.” (Surah 8: Al-Anfal, 'The Spoils of
War').
“The vanguard (of Islam), the first of those who forsook (their homes)
and of those who gave them aid, and (also) those who follow them in
(all) good deeds, well-pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him:
for them Hath He prepared Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell
therein forever: that is the supreme Felicity.” (Surah 9: Al-Tawba, 'The
Repentance').
