Transliteration:( Wal arda madadnaahaa wa alqainaa feehaa rawaasiya wa ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjim baheej )
"And the earth, We have spread it out [11], and placed therein firm mountains [12], and made every kind of beautiful species grow therein [13]."
The earth has been spread out in a way that it remains stable, preventing it from dissolving in water. Normally, sand dissolves in water, but Allah has designed the earth to stay firm and solid, enabling life to thrive.
Allah has placed mountains on the earth to anchor it, preventing it from shifting or moving. This stabilizes the earth and ensures that we can live comfortably and establish ourselves easily, emphasizing the earth’s motionlessness and stability.
The verse speaks of the beautiful species of vegetation, fruits, and flowers that Allah has caused to grow on the earth. This includes beautiful pairs of plants, symbolizing the complementary nature of male and female in nature.
Even modern science acknowledges the presence of opposite genders in plants, affirming the balance and beauty in creation.
