younger fledglings to fly at the same time as the adults. The chicks do
not have the capacity and strength to migrate as soon as they are
hatched, but must soon be able to keep up with the flock. For this rea-
son, while the young are growing, the parents molt and lose their
wing feathers and thus are also unable to fly. While the young are
reaching the stage where they can fly, the adults’ feathers gradually
grow back. This miraculous coordination allows both parents and
21
young to migrate at the same time. The perfect synchronization in
physical changes in two separate generations cannot be pure coinci-

dence. This is an example of how God the Omniscient creates a
perfect harmony in living beings.
Don’t you see how He created seven heavens in layers,
and placed the Moon as a light in them and made the Sun
a blazing lamp? (Qur’an, 71:15-16)
