6:95
It is Allah Who causeth the seed-grain and the date-stone to split and sprout. He causeth the living to issue from the dead, and He is the one to cause the dead to issue from the living. That is Allah: then how are ye deluded away from the truth?
Allah is the Cleaver of the grain
The following is taken from “The Study Quran” by Hossein Nasr under the commentary of the above verse:
The Qur’ānic description of God as the One who “cleaves the grain and the fruit stone” signifies His power to bring life from what appears lifeless. The splitting of a seed or fruit stone allows a living plant to emerge from matter that seems dead, illustrating a broader divine principle of life arising from death. This theme is linguistically related to the Divine Name al-Fāṭir (the Originator), which derives from a root meaning “to split” or “to bring forth.” In the Qur’ān, this name frequently appears in the phrase “Originator of the heavens and the earth” (e.g., Qur’an 6:14; 12:101; 14:10; 35:1; 39:46; 42:11). The concept also reflects God’s power to bring the living from the dead and the dead from the living, referring both to the creation of human beings and their resurrection after death (Qur’an 3:27; 10:31; 30:19). Within Islamic theology, this process corresponds to the divine attributes Muḥyī (the Giver of Life) and Mumīt (the Bringer of Death). These cycles of life and death are understood not only in human existence but also in the natural world, where a seemingly lifeless seed produces a living plant, and the living plant in turn produces seeds. This pattern symbolizes the larger metaphysical movement between origin (mabdaʾ) and return (maʿād), through which all beings pass between this world and the next.
