Abstract
For Muslims, the Qur'an is the basis of science that proves the harmony of science with the revelation that was revealed thousands of years ago. One example is the study of plant morphology and anatomy. Each mufassir focuses on interpreting verses about plants' external and internal structure. Zaghlul An-Najjar, a contemporary scholar, highlights these verses through a modern scientific approach. Utilizing technology and scientific data, he offers a new perspective relevant to the modern era, demonstrating the integration of religion and science without abandoning religious principles. So, it is important to study how morphology and anatomy in the Qur'an in Tafsir Al-Ayat Al-Kauniyyah Fi Al-Qur'an Al-Karim by Zaghlul An-Najjar. The purpose of this study is to explain the morphology and anatomy of plants contained in several suras of the Qur'an according to the interpretation of Zaghlul An-Najjar in his book Tafsir Al-Ayat Al-Kauniyyah fi Al-Qur'an Al-Karim. This study used a literature study (library research) using a scientific thematic approach to explain Zaghlul An-Najjar's interpretation of Qur'anic verses related to plant morphology and anatomy. To solve this problem, researchers used two methods, the descriptive method, which involves collecting related data and describing it, and the analysis method, which analyzes the data that has been collected before. This study shows that according to Zaghlul An-Najjar, the Qur'an contains verses that explain plant morphology and anatomy. Plant morphology, which is the study of the external structure of plants, is discussed in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 22, Al-An'am verse 95, Yusuf verse 47, Al-Mukminun verse 20, and Fatir verse 27. These verses describe the morphological characteristics of fruits, seeds, wheat, and olives. For example, fruits are classified by type into simple fruits, fruits of collected flowers, and fruits of combined flowers. Based on their origin, fruits are divided into actual and false fruits. Seeds, called “grain” and “kernel,” are important. Olives, for example, have fin-shaped leaves and a drupa-type actual fruit with a hard seed in the centre. Fibrous roots, hollow stems, and small compound flowers characterize wheat. As for plant anatomy, which studies internal structures, it is mentioned in Surah Fatir verse 27 and Az-Zumar verse 21, especially about plant pigments. These pigments are divided into primary and additional pigments, supporting plant life and helping photosynthesis. In this simple research, the researcher recognizes that it has shortcomings and has not reached perfection. Therefore, researchers hope that future studies can examine plants in more depth and from various points of view, for example, by studying plants from the linguistic aspect (dalalah) and integrating it with aspects of science.
