ture between its toes also enables it to walk at a speed of 10 km per

apparently white hairs in its special 5 cm (2 in) thick fur are actual-
ly transparent and, because of their fiber optic properties, prevent
heat loss and transmit the Sun’s warmth to the black hairs beneath.
Immediately under the fur is a 10 cm (4 in) thick layer of fat that
provides further protection against the cold. When it swims, its
hairs form a protective shield by adhering to one another and serv-
ing as a waterproof diving suit. Thanks to all of these features, a
polar bear can maintain its 37-degree body temperature under wa-

ter or on the ice.
Such highly detailed and flawless structures, all of which are
of the greatest importance for continued life on Earth, reveal that
they could not have come about by chance. Moreover, scientists
cannot produce them. Allah flawlessly creates all things. In the case
of the polar bear, He places this animal on the ice enables it to sur-
vive its harsh environment. This is a constant reminder of the
greatness of Almighty Allah, Who creates the states and behavior
of all things by His will:
And He has made everything in the heavens and on Earth
subservient to you. It is all from Him. There are certainly
Signs in that for people who reflect. (Surat al-Jathiyyah, 13)
