The
miracle of wood and fire
In the name of
Allah,Most gracious,Most merciful
Allah says: « See ye the
Fire which ye kindle? * Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the
fire, or do We grow it? * We have made it a memorial (of Our
handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the
denizens of deserts» SURAH: AL WAQI`AH(71.74).
As
known,wood consists of a main chemical substance "lignocellulose".
Pure
Lignocellulose is available in
cotton ,whereas mixed one exists in wood.The three vital chemical
components of lignocellulose are Hydrogen,Oxygen,and
Carbon(Coal).One of the miracles of God's grandeur, that until this
moment, more than a million chemical compounds have been made up of
only these three chemical elements.They differ according to the
substances' arrangement and their compination together.
They are
called organic compounds.Allmost they are made in the plant,and so
is lignocellulose.The plant makes up lignocellulose of available
and
valueless permitive materials such as air (Oxygyn and
Carbon),water,and sun rays.Despite these permitive materials are
widespread and free for any person,the chemists niether can do a
similar one nor are they able to make a small piece of wood.
The
Divine miracle tells them that they are self-concieted and they
deny
God's abilities.If they are so , why they are incapable of
making a piece of wood although its components ( air , water and
sunrays ) are at hand and under their control.This leads them to
know the powerful and thinkful ability of Allah which is
higher than their abilities.
These are the
plants and trees that make lignocellulose day and night from these
valueless permitive elements .
This is just
one side of wood miracle. On the other hand, water is one of the
components of lignocellulose which is versus fire. After its
complete combination of water , it is concidered one of the most
important sources of fire .
