BIOLOGY: EVERY LIVING THING IS MADE OF WATER

Consider the following Qur’aanic verse: “Do not the Unbelievers see that
the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one Unit of Creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?” [Al-Qur’aan 21:30]

Only after advances have been made in science, do we now know that
cytoplasm, the basic substance of the cell is made up of 80% water.

Modern research has also revealed that most organisms consist of 50% to 90% water and that every living entity requires water for its existence.

Was it possible 14 centuries ago for any human-being to guess that every living being was made of water?

Moreover would such a guess be conceivable by a human being in
the deserts of Arabia where there has always been scarcity of water?

The following verse refers to the creation of animals from water:

“And Allah has created Every animal from water.” [Al-Qur’aan 24:45]

The following verse refers to the creation of human beings from water:

“It is He Who has Created man from water: Then has He established
Relationships of lineage And marriage: for thy Lord Has power (over all
things).” [Al-Qur’aan 25:54]

Previously humans did not know that plants too have male and female gender distinctions. Botany states that every plant has a male and female gender.

Even the plants that are unisexual have distinct elements of both male and female.

“‘And has sent Down water from the sky.’ With it have We
produced Diverse pairs of plants Each separate from the others.” [Al-
Qur’aan 20:53]

subhan Allah. furthermore human beings cannot live without water for more than 5 days. human body is 70% water. 82% of blood is water.a human intakes only 23% of water from outside the body. water is the reason for changing weathers and temperatures.consumable water on earth is less than 1 %. even paper is made from water and many of our foods have water.and every chemical reaction happens in water. better preserve it rather than wasting.
