The sundew plant

Q: How does the sundew plant obtain nutrients in barren environments?

The sundew plant is endowed with long, red hairs coated in a highly viscous, fragrant liquid that attracts insects. Once an insect is trapped by this adhesive, the plant bends its tendrils to secure the prey and digest it for essential proteins.

Q: Why is the hunting skill of the sundew plant considered evidence of divine creation?

The plant possesses a highly complex and functional system that allows it to feed and survive in harsh conditions. Such a sophisticated, purpose-built mechanism cannot be attributed to coincidence, but rather demonstrates the supreme wisdom and artistry of the Creator.

Q: How do plants receive their necessary provision according to Islamic belief?

All living things are entirely dependent upon Allah for their provision. As stated in the Qur'an, Allah knows the life and death of every creature and has placed all things within a clear book, providing for them according to the systems He has specifically created.

Q: Does the adhesive on the sundew plant affect its own mobility?

No, the plant is created with a specialized adhesive that effectively traps insects without hindering its own mechanical movements. The tendrils are able to bend and manipulate themselves to digest prey while remaining fully functional.
