On the one hand we have an AWACS plane, weighing 150
tons and having a wingspan of 40 meters and a height of 44 me-
ters, and, on the other hand, a moth weighing only a few grams,

with a wingspan of 2.5 centimeters and a height of 2 centime-
ters. Both possess the same technological features.
Furthermore, an AWACS plane requires 9.5 tons of fuel, while
the moth can make do with a few milligrams of nectar.
Kilometers of cable are used for its radar and computer sys-

tems, while just two short fibers are enough for a moth’s perfect
perception system.
These early warning systems, which are the accumulation

of centuries of scientific experience and can only be fitted into
planes weighing many tons, take place in an area no larger than
the head of a match under the wings of a moth weighing only a
few grams. Such a miraculous system, which people find very
difficult to imitate even by pooling all their resources, has been

flawlessly created in a tiny moth. God, the Creator of all, is the
Lord and Ruler of the entire universe. Our Lord’s name of al-

Lord of the Noble Throne. (Qur’an, 23:116)
