Seeds and grain

الحب والنوى

God is the splitter of the grain and the stone of the fruit, bringing forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living; the likeness of those who spend their wealth in God's way is a grain that grows seven ears, in each ear a hundred grains; and grain in the blade and fragrant herbs.

The clouds

The serviceable clouds between heaven and earth, piled masses through which lightning breaks and from which drops of hail descend; and the cloud that shaded Israel in the wilderness over the manna and the quails.
