The maternal compassion and the example of the self-sacrifice in the octopus

In the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean, the giant octopus – their
length exceeds four metres- live. The octopus searches for ashelter in
order to be safe and when they find the shelter they live there until
the end of their lives.
This shelter is a place where the octopus will give birth to the baby
octopi safely. As soon as the mother octopus settles down, it starts
to lay eggs. After giving birthto about 100,000 baby octopi , it won't
breed again.
The mother octopus takescare of its babies with great self-devotion
duringsix months. In order to keep the babies alive the nest should be
moist. To do this, the octopus checks the eggs frequently. To cater to
theoxygen of the eggs, the octopus splashes water continuously on the
eggs.
The mother octopus is so busy taking care of the eggs that it doesn't
spendtime on eating anything. Although it could easily die from
starvation, it endeavors without stopping to take care of its eggs
until they hatch safely and easily until it breaths its last.
In the end, young and fully-formed babies hatch from the eggs...
However, the mother octopus which is a caretaker, compassionate and
merciful is dead.
Of course, He is Allah Who creates the octopus with compassion, mercy
and devotion, and He has the infinite mercy and compassion, as He is
the Creator and maintainer of all living things. Allah is most
Benefcent, the most Merciful.
