Page 107 - Signs from the Qur'an

reatures of the world are full of
unparalleled examples of God's
artistry of creation. From birds to
reptiles, from whales to insects,
whether large or small, animals have
incredible traits which never cease to
amaze humans. Some of these traits (such as the way
a spider can spin a web stronger than steel of the
same diameter, or a bee constructs a honeycomb and

produces honey, or the navigational skills of birds)
make even the most self-assured person seem help-
less. In fact, when humans try to mimic these animal
traits, they are usually not capable enough to do it.
Despite all this, some people still deny the won-
ders of creation in animals. They display a break-
down in logical thinking by not accepting the exis-

tence of God, the Creator of both themselves and the
universe they inhabit. But their efforts are for naught.
Our Creator said this in the Qur'an:
... the truth came and God's command pre-
vailed even though they detested it.
(Qur'an, 9:48)
