In our universe there are many strange phenomena, one of these phenomena is a plant which lives in ice and heats the surrounding area to stay alive ….
There are many wonders in the world of plant [1]; western scientists were astonished from the behavior of some plants which emits heat when needed.
It would be irrational to believe that these plants are without brain or they don’t understand, instead we have to believe that Allah almighty had supported those plants with a 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 that characteristic the plant wouldn’t be able to stay alive.
One of these plants is called [2] skunk cabbages or scientifically ”Symplocarpus foetidus”. It lives in snowy slops where temperature around the plant is about (-15 C) and temperature of that plant is around 30C. This amazing phenomenon is not existed in any other creature as any creature can’t live in such temperature for long time.
A plant heats ice and dissolve it in a temperature up to 36 C where the surrounded temperature is up to(-15 C)
Hence we can understand that this kind of plants works as an air conditioner as it posses a detection system to detect the surrounded temperature, if the temperature dropped below a certain level the conditioner works and when the temperature rises to a certain level the conditioner stops. So, we find that this plant was programmed by the creator Almighty to work properly without spare parts or maintains….
But the heating mechanism of that plant still vague till now [3], bur Allah almighty tells us about his graces for that plant and for all creatures as He says: (Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright.)(Sûrat Tâ-Hâ- verse 50).
This verse means that Allah had created every thing and then He guided them to be compatible with the environment to stay alive…..
The plant uses a vague precise mechanism. So scientists are asking, how can the plant controls temperature like that? How can it get this energy? What are the used techniques? The doer of all of that is Allah almighty who said: (Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright.)(Sûrat Tâ-Hâ- verse 50).
Today, the scientists are thinking to benefit from the difference of temperature in these plants to generate electricity to warm houses! These plants produce a huge temperature as the difference in temperature is between (-15 and 35).that difference can be used to warm water or houses.
Hence there is a free energy from that plant, God says: (See you not that Allah has subjected to you (mankind) all that is on the earth) (Sûrat Al-Hajj- verse 65), the word subjected means to offer a service for free (free of charge) so we can benefit from these plants to get a free energy.
Allah almighty says: (And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth; it is all as a favor and kindness from Him. Verily, in it are signs for a people who think deeply.)(Sûrat Al-Jâthiyah- verse 13).
Are we going to think deeply? We have to remember the divine statement: (The Work of Allah, Who perfected all things, verily He is Well-Acquainted with what you do.)(Sûrat an-Naml- verse 88).
