FRUITS HAVE MALE AND FEMALE

FRUITS HAVE MALE AND FEMALE

             “And fruit of every kind

               He made

               in pairs, two and two.”

                                                 [Al-Qur’an 13:3]

Fruit is the end product of reproduction of the

superior plants. The stage preceding fruit is the

flower, which has male and female organs (stamens

and ovules). Once pollen has been carried to the

flower, they bear fruit, which in turn matures and

frees its seed. All fruits therefore imply the

existence of male and female organs; a fact that is

mentioned in the Qur’an.In certain species, fruit can come from non-fertilized

flowers (parthenocarpic fruit) e.g. bananas, certain

types of pineapple, fig, orange, vine, etc. They also

have definite sexual characteristics.
