In the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean, the giant octopus – their
length exceeds four metres- live. The octopus searches for a
shelter 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 birth to about 100,000 baby octopi
, it won't breed again.
The mother octopus takes care of its babies with great
self-devotion during six 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 the oxygen 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 spend time 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.
