ration, it can easily draw near to its own prey.

Take a careful look at the scorpion fish – seen in the picture on the
other page – and you will realize how hard it really is to notice

their presence in their environments.

Like scorpion fish, many other marine creatures cannot be distin-

guished from their environments. Their presence is only noticed
when they move. These perfectly camouflaged creatures use their

coloration to enable them to hunt, to reproduce and to give vari-

ous signals to other creatures. But how did this harmony come
about? Who made the body of a fish the same color as the reefs in

which it lives, and made it look even more like the reefs by giving
it a projecting shape?

Chance can never give a creature the same color as the environ-
ment in which it lives. A fish, shrimp or crab can neither have the

knowledge of color nor be able to produce systems in their own

bodies to change their color. Such great systems can only be crea-
ted by Almighty Allah, Who is All-Merciful, All-Powerful.

Allah created all creatures together with the attributes they pos-
sess and in harmony with the environments in which they live.

Allah has informed us in the Qur’an that He has knowledge of all

creatures He created:

Does He Who created not then know? He is the All-Pervading,

the All-Aware. It is He Who made the earth submissive to you,
so walk its broad trails and eat what it provides. The

Resurrection is to Him. (Surat al-Mulk: 14-15)
