As we have seen, the properties of living things benefit us in a very
large number of ways. In one verse, God draws attention to the uses in an-
imals:
And there is certainly a lesson for you in your livestock. We give
you to drink from what is in their bellies and there are many ways
in which you benefit from them... (Qur’an, 23: 21)
With their highly developed radar equipment, the AWACS (Airborne Warning And
Control System) in Boeing 767 jets is used for early warning and target control purpos-
es. AWACS, effective in the air and on land, can identify ships on the surface only and
fails when it comes to submarines under the water (which are invisible to AWACS).
