"myoglobin" that helps them store oxygen in their muscles. With the help of
these systems, finback whale, for instance, can dive as deep as 500 meters
and swim for 40 minutes without breathing at all. 191 The nostrils of the
whale, on the other hand, are placed on its back unlike land-dwelling mam-
mals so that it can easily breathe.

The Creation Miracles in the Gnat
We always think of the gnat as a flying animal. In fact, the gnat spends
its developmental stages under water and gets out from under water
through an exceptional structure being provided with all the organs it
needs.
The gnat starts to fly with special sensing systems at its disposal to de-
tect the place of its prey. With these systems, it resembles a war plane loaded
with detectors of heat, gas, dampness and odour. It even has an ability to
"see in conformity with the temperature" that helps it find its prey even in
pitch dark.
The "blood-sucking" technique of the gnat comes with an incredibly
complex system. With its six-bladed cutting system, it cuts the skin like a
saw. While the cutting process goes
on, a secretion secreted on the
wound benumbs the tissues and the
person does not even realise that his
blood is being sucked. This secre-
tion, at the same time, prevents the
clotting of the blood and secures the
continuance of the sucking process.
With even one of these ele-
ments missing, the gnat will not be
able to feed on blood and carry on
its generation. With its exceptional structure, even this tiny creature is an ev-
ident sign of Creation on its own. In the Qur'an, the gnat is accentuated as an
example displaying the existence of Allah to the men of understanding:

Surely Allah disdains not to set forth any parable - [that of] a [female] gnat or
any thing above that; then as for those who believe, they know that it is the
truth from their Lord, and as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it
that Allah means by this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He
leads aright by it! but He does not cause to err by it [any] except the trans-
gressors. (Surat al-Baqara, 26)
