Page 9 - The Miracle in the Ant

n this book we are going to tell you about a creature that you know
quite well, that you meet everywhere without actually giving it much at-

these creatures that have the highest population in the world may open
up new horizons for us within the framework of the characteristics re-
ferred to above. This book will reveal to us the special and marvelous

8800 species.

the same time, we shall see the mistakes in the theory of evolution and
witness Allah’s immaculate creation, which is a tremendously important
work. In the Qur’an, the type of person who thinks about nature and
