The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but
Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without
His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and
nothing moist or drywhich is not in a Clear Book. (Surat al-An'am, 59)
The seas contain very different marine organisms, all with their own
unique structures. With their common lifestyles, defence mechanisms,
magnificent creation, and fascinating characteristics, these animals
that number in the millions, reveal the invalidity of the theory of
evolution and the incomparable creative artistry of Almighty Allah.
Just as in the seas, the micro-organisms on land, whose numbers
westill do not know for certain, also represent an example of Almighty
Allah's creative artistry.
1- The Sponge-Algae Relationship
A most interesting species of sponge, (Rosella racovitzea or Rosella),
lives at a depth of 120 metres, in the Ross Sea, near Antarctica. In
biomimeticterms, this sponge has the features of an optic cable,
because it possesses thread-like extensions 10 cm long and varying
between 200 and 600 µm in diameter, that protrude upwards from its
body, the tips of which in particular contain silica (glass), that are
able to collect light from all directions. These thread-like
extensions are strong and flexible, like optic cables, and although
they contain glass their structure is not brittle but rather strong
enough not to break.
So why does this organism have such strong extensions?
The reason is because blue-green algae are capable of using sunlight
to manufacture nutrients live inside the organism. However, in the
darkness that prevails at a depth of 120 metres, it is impossible for
the algae to manufacture nutrients. At this point, the
light-collecting threadlike extensions of the sponge come to the
assistance of the algae living in it. With its optic cables, the
sponge collects light from all around and transmits this to the algae
inside it. With this collected light, the algae manufacture nutrients
that enable both them and the sponge to survive.
It cannot be expected that these two organisms could come together by
chance, as evolutionists maintain; Neither the sponge nor the algae
could have survived for millions of years on their own until the one
found the other.In addition, they have no intelligence or powers of
speech to permit them to engage in such a division of labour when they
did come together. These two life forms were brought together by
Almighty Allah and established a common life together.
In the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the
night and day, and the ships which sail the seas to people's benefit,
and the water which Allah sends down from the sky– by which He brings
theearth to life when it was dead and scatters about in it creatures
of every kind – and the varying direction of the winds, and the clouds
subservient between heaven and earth, there are Signs for people who
use their intellect. (Surat al-Baqara, 164)
2- Mother-of-Pearl, a Marvel of Technology
Mother-of-pearl is foundin the shells of many marine creatures.
Haliotis refescans, a gastropod species, is oneof these. The
mother-of-pearl in this creature's shell is a complete marvel of
technology because this mother-of-pearl has been created with such
fine calculation as to amaze engineers. It consists of hexagonal
aragonite bricks just 300nanometres thick, surrounded by an organic
membrane that is 10 nanometres in thickness between them.The bricks
within the membranes are both free enough to move butstable enough not
to separate from one another. The structure resulting from the way
these bricks are arranged in such a way as to constitute a wall is far
stronger than ceramic or metal structures capable of being
manufactured with any technology. The way that a minute creature
covers the inside of its protective shell by performing the very
finest calculations, just like an engineer, that the
mother-of-pearlthat forms assumes the shape of the shell, and that
this mother-of-pearlis stronger than ceramic or metal materials
produced using technology are some of the proofs of Almighty Allah's
creation.
3- Magnetic Bacteria
Aquaspirillum magnetotacticum, a species of bacteria that lives in
water, needs oxygen and uses a most fascinating method in order to
obtain it. It first collects up the iron ions around and oxidises
them, turning them into particles with a regular shape and a magnetic
property. These particles, known as magnetite, determine the direction
the bacterium needs to face in to find oxygen. How? By lining
themselves up in a row inside the bacterium, like pearls ona necklace,
these particles lean towards the direction of the oxygen with damaging
the sequence they are in, and thus permit the bacterium to go in that
direction.
The way that a tiny creature too small to be seen with the naked eye
collects iron ions, oxidises them in a manner astonishing to any
chemist, and endows them with a magnetic property with detailed
knowledge thatwould amaze a physicist once again reveals our Almighty
Lord's creative artistry.
4- A Light-Emitting Jellyfish
The transparent bodied jellyfish, Clytia languidum, lives at depths of
800 m off the coast of the Bahamas and has a round body 2 cm in
diameter. Whenever a fish or turtletouches the jellyfish, its body
assumes a square shape. After assuming that shape, it starts emitting
a green light, thus warning the approaching predator inthe darkness of
the ocean that if it comes any closer, it will hurt it. The jellyfish
itself does not possess the intelligence and consciousness with which
to calculate that. When touched by another living thing, there is no
way for the jellyfish to know that that organism is a predator nor to
know the precautions it needs to take to avoid falling prey to it.
Yet, even if weassume, despite that impossibility, that the jellyfish
itself did actually establish such a system, it would still be
impossible for it to hand it on to subsequent generations. The
jellyfishis another one the countless examples of Almighty Allah's
creative artistry.
5- The Brittlestar with ItsFibre Optic Technology
Brittlestars (Ophiocoma wendtii), marine creatures belonging to the
group Echinodermata, appear to have no eyes. Yet, divers realised that
when they approached these creatures they somehow felt them and fled.
In addition, they assume a dark colour in the daytime and a lighter
colour at night. Research has shown thatthis species is covered bysome
50,000-100,000 minute lenses that collect light just like eyes. With
this feature, the animal literally puts sunglasses on during
thedaytime because the pigments it releases giveit a dark colour by
covering the lenses and cutting off the light. At night, however, the
surface of the calcite crystal lens is uncovered again, resulting in a
light colour. This feature of brittlestars is assistingthe development
of fibreoptic technology. It is Almighty Allah who creates this
astonishing animal together with its miraculous properties.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
