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)
