You think Red I think Green:










The green cell is microscopic, but great.
Great, from within.
We all know that CHLOROPHYLL is the green colouring matter found in plants.
It is enclosed in microscopic cell organelles called CHLOROPLASTS.
CHLOROPLASTS are minute oval bodies surrounded by a double membrane &
the interior contains densely crammed flattened thylakoids.
And then…
Photosynthesis is a process by which living plant cell containing CHLOROPHYLL ,
produce food substances: glucose and starch from carbon dioxide
& water by using light energy sunlight.
Oxygen is released as waste product in this process.

Quran talks about the VERDENT GREEN in Sure’ Rehmaan.
Green that is the basic Chloroplast.
Source of energy and sustenance..
Then…how can Islam think Red..?
No, It does not promote terrorism.
It teaches us to appreciate nature, to respect it.
Natural entities water, air that we breathe, the trees, the heat of the sun -
the light from the sun: are signs of Allah ..
Again & again Allah reminds us of these ….

Islam teaches us to value Green ..
&
If we thank Allah adequately …. then where is the time to think Red ?

Chloroplasts, photosynthesis...I remember all of these terms from biology. I've actually observed stomata through a microscope! It's seems so surreal that plants actually have cells!We learn so much from God's creations...

In my studies of Thereapeutic Touch healing, I learned that we can increase the chlorophyll in plants by holding them in our hands. I have even done this remotely.. from a different room. The hemaglobin in our blood, so necessary to our health, is very like the chlorophyll in plants. This is why our touch and even our loving thoughts, can help each other to heal.
Aliya, I LOVE your words of wisdom regarding the true path of Islam, which has recently taken such an extremist turn in the eyes of the world. As you say, this is NOT the truth of most Moslems. Why aren't more of you speaking out LOUDLY to show the world your true beauty? Don't be the silent majority. I think you should send an article to the New York Times!
