THE CREATION OF THE MOSQUITO
                                          The mosquito has an "ultraviolet vision"
                                           system that enables it to locate its prey at
                                           night. Its sting, through which it sucks
                                           blood, is a complicated tool made up of 6
                                          blades. It is furnished with special
                                          secretions that prevent the blood it sucks  THE CREATION OF THE CAMEL

                easily understand the infinite wisdom, knowledge and power of his Creator by simply thinking
                how he grew into a human being who is able to read and understand these lines considering that
                he was just a drop in the beginning.
                No one came to this world by chance. God, the Lord of all the worlds, created the entire universe
                and all of mankind. God describes His creative power in the Qur'an, which He sent down to
                people as a guide.
                  Mankind! An example has been made, so listen to it carefully. Those whom you call
                  upon besides God are not even able to create a single fly, even if they were to join
                  together to do it. And if a fly steals something from them, they cannot get it back.
                  How feeble are both the seeker and the sought!  They do not measure God with His
                  true measure. God is All-Powerful, Almighty. (Surat al-Hajj: 73-74)






                                THE INSPIRATION OF HONEYBEES
                                   Honeybees display an extraordinary
                                    architectural skill. The hexagonal cells they
                                   build are based on complex mathematical
                           calculations. They use a system whereby they can do
                           the maximum storage with the minimum material.
                                The interesting aspect of the cells is that honeybees
                                   start to build the cells from different points and
                                     meet in the middle. However, there is no discord
                                     at the intersection point. This situation shows
                                     that bees are governed from a single centre. God
                                     states in the Qur'an that bees act upon His inspiration:
                                      "Your Lord inspired the bees: 'Build dwellings in the
                                      mountains and the trees, and also in the structures
                                      which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and
                                      travel the paths of your Lord, made easy for you to
                                      follow.' From their bellies comes a drink of varying
                                      colours, containing healing for mankind. There is certainly
                                       a sign in that for people who reflect." (Surat an-Nahl: 68-69)
