Other micro or gan isms, not just virus es, also crys tal lize—a clear
sign that micro or gan isms know the most far-sight ed meth od of self-pro -
tec tion. When con di tions grow dif fi cult, var i ous micro or gan isms such
as algae and bac te ria crys tal lize and enter into a kind of hiber na tion to
sur vive. They remain in that state until con di tions are bet ter suit ed to
them. As con di tions wors en, each spe cies of bac te ria uses its own par -
tic u lar meth od of crys tal li za tion to rise up in the air. Its crys tal line layer

Allah reveals in His vers es:
Praise be to Allah, to Whom every thing in the heav ens and every -
thing in the Earth belongs, and praise be to Him in the Hereafter. He
is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.
He knows what goes into the Earth and what comes out of it, and
what comes down from heav en and what goes up into it. And He is
the Most Merciful, the Ever-Forgiving. (Surah Saba': 1-2)
