Page 19 - The Miracle in the Mosquito

The Adventure Begins

ing order or which makes incomplete measurements, for example
only of moisture or heat, is of no use, for it would lead to the ex-
tinction of the species.
The next question that springs to mind is “How did the mos-
quito find out what this organ is for and how to use it?”
It is obvious that the mosquito is not able to install a special
scanner in its own body any more than it can pass on information to
future generations regarding the purpose and use of this scanner.
There is a perfect harmony in the characteristics of the mos-
quito, which could not be the
product of coincidence. As
will be seen from the exam-
ples given on the following
pages, the mosquito has to
emerge in a fully-fledged
state, or it would not be pos-
sible for it to live. This means
that the mosquito is created.
It is God Who creates the
mosquito in its perfect form. Each characteristic of the mosquito
acquaints us with the incomparable creative art of God. In the fol-
lowing verses of the Qur’an, God gives an example to illustrate the
perfection in His creation:
It was He Who created the seven heavens one above the
other. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the All-
Merciful. Look again—do you see any gaps? Then look
again and again. Your eyes will in the end be dazzled and
exhausted! (Qur’an, 67:3-4)
