He is Allah—the Creator, the
                         Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him
                         belong the Most Beautiful Names.

                           Everything in the heavens and
                            earth glorifies Him. He is the
                         Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-

                                        Hashr: 24)


                   lights. At other times we use it to frighten our enemies and keep
                    them away from us."
                             Kamal was very impressed by what his friend had
                         been telling him: "So everything you need is inside your

                        own bodies, and there's no need to tire yourselves out!"

                         "That's right," the glow-worm agreed. "Despite all their
                       best efforts, scientists have been unable to develop a system
                       quite like ours. As I said before, Allah created us in the most
               beautiful way and in the way most suited to our needs, just like all
               other living things."

                  Kamal smiled. "Thank you. What you have told me is very in-
               teresting. I now realize what the verse I read yesterday means, ' 'Is
               He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay
               heed?' (Surat an-Nahl: 17) When you think of all the living things
               Allah created and ourselves, there are plenty of examples to take

                            heed of!!"
