Page 13 - The Miracle in the Mosquito

Introduction

So you may well ask yourself, “In that case, why the mosqui-
to?” God decrees as follows in a verse of the Qur’an:
God is not ashamed to make an example of a mosquito or of
an even smaller thing. As for those who believe, they know
it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbe-
lieve, they say, “What does God mean by this example?” He
misguides many by it and guides many by it. But He only
misguides the deviators. (Qur’an, 2:26)
It behoves a man who is aware of this fact to reflect sincerely
on the evidence of God’s creation and to rightly fear (and respect)
Him.

... Do you not know that God has power over all things? Do
you not know that God is He to Whom the kingdom of the
heavens and the Earth belongs and that, besides God, you
have no protector and no helper? (Qur’an, 2:106-107)

A person thinking about the systems with which a mosquito is equipped will be a
witness to the miracles of creation in this creature and will understand once more
the unbounded power of God.
