Page 146 - The Miracle of the Immune System

Termites, which are the subject matter of this book, are
a species of insect that we are not accustomed to see
around us. Though partly similar to ants in their lives
and appeareances, termites have very different fea-
tures and abilities. A book on termites may be very sur-
prising for some people. They may think that there
would not be much to tell about a little insect. When
you read about the characteristics of termites, howev-

sect, about which little is known, and which is mostly
brushed aside, is equipped with many miraculous fea-
tures that will open up a new horizon of thought, re-
vealing Allah’s matchless creation.
