Over centuries, plants ferment and turn into black substances, coal and oil, and both are the foundations of modern civilization. The holy Qur’an has described such a fermentation and transformation process; Allah, the Exalted says:

“And Who bringeth out

The (green and luscious) pasture,

And then doth make it

(But) swarthy(ahwa)  stubble (ghuthaan ).”       Ala or the Most high: 4-5  

Ghuthaa’ means mixed and cumulative while ahwa means black. This is the best description ever for the transformations that plants undergo to turn into coal and oil. All Glory to Allah.
