Verses Highlighting God’s Power in Creating Humanity
The Qur’an also speaks extensively about Allah’s power in the creation of human beings. Among these verses are:
- Allah – The Exalted – proclaims: (O mankind, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of meat, formed and unformed, that We may make clear to you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants; then you attain your maturity. And among you is he who is taken in death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit old age).
- Allah – The Exalted – further states: (We have certainly created man in the best of stature).
- He also says: (Does man not see that We created him from a sperm-drop? Yet there he is, a manifest opponent).

Verses Highlighting God’s Power in Creating Plants
The Qur’an describes Allah’s power in the creation of plants through several verses. Key examples include:
- Allah – The Exalted – states: (And He is the one who sends down from the heaven water, and We produce thereby crops of every kind. We bring forth from it green shoots, from which We produce grain stacked up, and from the palm trees, from their blooming flowers, clusters of dates hanging low, and gardens of grapevines, olives, and pomegranates, similar and different. Look at its fruits when it yields and its ripening. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who believe).
- Allah also declares: (Indeed, Allah is the One who splits the seed and the date stone, He brings the living out of the dead, and He brings the dead out of the living. That is Allah; so how are you deluded?).
- Additionally, Allah emphasizes: (Or who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you from the heaven water, and We caused to grow thereby gardens of delightful beauty? It was not for you to grow their trees. Is there a deity with Allah? But they are a people who equate [others with Him]).

- Allah mentions: (And We spread out the earth and placed therein firm mountains and caused to grow therein of every balanced thing).
