ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ Examples of Allah's Art of Variety: The Fastest Animals

Our Lord's mercy and compassion over living beings manifests itself
inmany ways. One of thesemanifstations is the amazing speed animals
use to survive, sometimes to run away and sometimes when they have to
chase.
What are the fastest animals in the world?
What are the characteristics of these animals?
Fastest Beings In The Air
Birds are the fastest animals on earth. That friction force is less
in the air has a big impact on birds being the fastest creatures. The
fastest among birds is the tercel, which is as big as a crow. The
speed of this little bird, which flies 320 kilometers per hour, is
equal to the latest speeds of cars such as the Lamborghini Murcielago
Convertible, which is the fastest production car in the world, and
Formula 1 racers.
These beings first climb in the air and then dive on their prey flying
underneath them at a speed of 320 kilometers per hour, using a special
hunting technique called "diving." Then they suddenly catch the prey
that dies as a result of this impact in the air and this ends the
hunting process. These beings gain this amazing speed only when they
dive to the ground for hunting. There is no doubt that the speed of
this bird, that reached a record speed in the air when compared to
other birds, and the ability to calculate the impact point or catch
its prey in mid-aircannot occur coincidentally. Besides these, birds
of the falcon species need to be able to see their prey from very far
distances in order to maintain its life. This couldonly be ensured
with the visual acuity of falcons being seven times sharper than
that of man. This speed of falcons is, no doubt, a wonder of creation
that makes them perfect hunters and are a result of Almighty Allah's
superior creation. They could only fly because Allah, the All-Knowing,
inspires them to fly this fast and because He created the necessary
systems in their bodies. In one verse, this truth is revealed as
follows:
" Have they not looked atthe birds above them, with wings outspread
and folded back? Nothing holds them up but the All-Merciful. He sees
all things. " (Surat al-Mulk, 19)
Fastest Beings in Water:
All sea creatures from the tiniest fish to the biggest whale move
easily with a superior maneuverability , swim with the highest
efficiency by masterly using their body weight and easily feed. The
reason for this is that the swimming system of every fish species is
created in a perfect manner. The location of their fins is specially
selected, the size of their gills and the indents on their skins have
the characteristics that meet their needs perfectly.
The way a fish swims looks like the working system of machines. Almost
all machines move around a fixed axis with a fixed rotation speed and
produce power via pieces called shafts. Fish also produce power, but
their working system is much different than that of machines. Every
single crank in fish is connected in such a way that movement takes
place on a single plane. Therefore, the fish's spine moves right and
left continuouslylike a snake curling on the ground. The fish's speed
offorward movement is also directly proportional to the right-to-left
traffic speed of the axis of the finalong the fish's spine. When the
fin gets close to the axis speed increases and when it is away from
it, it decreases.
Sudden acceleration is vital for fish, because they need this
capability both to hunt and to run away from predators. Some small
fish can reach their maximum speeds in a short time like
one-twentieth of a second.The thrust they produce inthe meantime is
four times their own weight.
This means sports cars reaching 100 kilometers from 0 kilometer within
4-6 seconds, but normally such a thing is impossible because cars need
more time to reach their maximum speeds. However, for fish the time we
mentioned is only one-twentieth of a second.Besides all of these,
there is also another point that needs to be mentioned. Fish also show
this superior performance sometimes swimming against currents. When
it is considered that water's resistance is far more thanthat of the
air, it can be understood that fish have an extraordinary performance.
Some examples about this superior performance of fish are as follows:
The best example about this subject is no doubt the Mediterranean
spearfish. The Mediterranean spearfish, which looks like a swordfish
and has a very large dorsal fin , is the fastest creature in water
with a speed of 110 kilometers per hour. This fish, which has a total
weight of 100 kilos and a height of 3.4 meters, feedson smaller fish
and cuttlefish, thanks to its strong fins and aerodynamic qualities
andcan also escape from sharks easily.

STORY - ~ There Is No Such Thing as the “First Self-reproducing Molecule That Gave Rise to Life”

The scenario regarding lifethat Darwinists have been rehearsing ever
since Darwin's time begins with a mythical "first cell" that
supposedly came into being spontaneously. This mythical first cell;
Was described in Darwin's day as "a small balloon filled with water,"
because under the primitive conditions of thetime, nobody even knew
what the cell really lookedlike.
It was irrationally suggested that this alleged first cell came into
being spontaneously in water.
It was claimed that all the varieties of life developed from this
first cell that came into being by chance.
Enormous scientific progress was subsequently made in the 20th Century
and the structure of the cell was fully revealed. It was realized
that;
A single cell has a more complex structure than the city of New York.
That it was impossible foreven a single protein inside the cell, let
alone a cell itself, to come about spontaneously.
The idea that the cell came into being in muddy water is therefore
scientifically illogical and impossible.
These facts caused a terrible panic among Darwinists. The fact that
the theory of evolution had collapsed RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF LIFE
totally demoralized them. They wanted to conceal this fact. They set
about using the press and universities. "We can probably manufacture
protein in laboratories andare conducting experiments," they said.
"There are hypotheses that life began from a single cell," they said.
"We will prove our claims eventually," they said. But nothing changed
over the next 150 years and no evolutionary claim was ever proved. On
the contrary, every new scientific advance has proven that no protein
canever come into being by chance.
Why Do Evolutionists in Turkey Still Espouse Claims That Darwinists
Elsewhere Have Abandoned?
Stunned by a succession ofscientific defeats, Darwinists recently,
under the leadership of Richard Dawkins, began speaking of a supposed
"self-reproducing molecule." But even this did not rescue the
position, and even Dawkins had to publicly admit the illogicalnature
of the claim, and thus that such a creation could only be brought
intobeing by a sublime intelligence.
Yes despite all these facts and scientific advances, evolutionists in
Turkey insist on repeating the idea. They reiterate such illogical and
unscientific ideas as, "We cannot speak of an advanced life form, but
we speak of an organization progressing toward life," "...the first
self-replicating molecule created life," or "....life emerging from
inanimate matter is the result of the laws of nature, and there is
nothing to discuss aboutit." The reason for this is that these people
are unable to divorce themselves from the old, fraudulent evolutionist
conception of science.
There Is No Such Thing as a First Self-reproducing Molecule
Since Darwinists are unable to account for howa protein might have
formed spontaneously, they claim that the beginning of life was "a
first molecule capable of self-reproducing." First of all, there is no
such thing as a "self-reproducing molecule." If this moleculewas a
protein, the smallestunits inside the living cell, then it must be
borne in mind that proteins themselves have no "self-reproductive"
property. In order for a protein to be able to self-replicate, IT
NEEDS
Other proteins
DNA
Ribosomes
Endoplasmic reticulum
Cytoplasm
Energy manufacturing mitochondria
And the cell membrane.
IN SHORT,
A FULLY EQUIPPED CELL.
Therefore, the idea of a "self-reproducing molecule" is totally
fraudulent. It is impossiblefor a molecule not inside aliving cell to
be able to take in energy from the outside and use it to replicate
itself . To refer to this as "an organization progressing toward life"
isdemagoguery and a deliberate distraction. "Organization progressing
toward life" is a totally illogical term. The smallestliving thing is
"a CELL." Only a cell and the structures inside it can self-reproduce.
Only a cell can take in energy from the outside and use it. Only a
cell can maintain itsown existence through its own organelles and the
energy it takes in from theoutside.
To put it another way, there can be no supposed stages progressing
from the inanimate toward life .LIFE CAN NEVER COME FROMSOMETHING
INANIMATE. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. IT IS SCIENCE THAT SAYS
THIS, PROVEN, CONCLUSIVE, SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS. When Darwinists say,
"....there is scientific evidence that lifeformed from inanimate
matter," they are not speaking the truth.

HEALTH - ~ NEWS - ~ The Mango Majlis

An Assistant Professor of Media Studies at Kamala Nehru College
recalls how mangoes were chosen, how they became an open house
Saturday affair at home and she wonders why this king of fruits (her
favourite!) is called 'Aam' (ordinary) when it is anything but!
~
There is nothing as messy and enjoyable as eating a mango in the
monsoon rain sitting on a swing. Try it. The sweetness of the mango,
the salty rainwaterdashing against your cheeks, and the suspended
parabolic state as you swing up and down makes the experience most
delectable.
Since childhood this king offruits has made my summer basket most
memorable. Almost all summers in my house are about squishing mangoes.
My father buys them with ritualistic fervor. He gets upat five in the
morning to catch the enviable best. And as summer lazily moves its
tail my family stock moves, from Alphonso to Safayda; from Dusseheri
to Langda; and the last of the season Chausa. An old school mango
eater, my father celebrates the fruit with a rigid mango protocol,
refusing to buy it in any other order.
Any real connoisseur of thisfruit knows that buying a mango is as much
an art – it should be ripe and yellow with just a touch of green,
should have the characteristic mango smell and as you touch it, it
should yield mildly.
Mango eating in my house is an affair– in Hindustani aword that would
describe it most ideally would be -a 'Majlis'. Every Saturday friends
are invited and lots of mangoes are on offer and to say the least no
onecounts as we all savor it with chit–chat.
In my family album summer months can be easily identified, as one of
us would be carrying a precariously placed boil along with a cheesy
smile, thanks to the hectic mangoconsumption.
The mango tale, I remember most vividly is how my sister and I jumped
the rear window ofour ground floor house choosing to savor mangoesin
the monsoon rain over the
pre-scheduled weekly Kathak class. I still remember peeping out of the
window to find guruji approaching in his white Kurta-Pyjama, his salt
and pepper curly locks dancing against the invitingly black rain
clouds. We sisters, swiftly tucked our mangoes under our elbowsand
jumped out of the window. That was the end of Kathak for both of us.

NEWS - ~ The biggest ghost town in China

In Inner Mongolia a new city stands largely empty.This city, Ordos,
suggests that the great Chinese building boom, which did so much to
fuel the country's astonishing economic growth, is over. Is a bubble
about toburst?
A huge statue of the mighty warrior Genghis Khan presides over
GenghisKhan Plaza in Ordos New Town. The square is vast, fading into
the snowy mist on a recent Sunday morning.
Genghis Khan Plaza is flanked by huge and imposing buildings.
Two giant horses from the steppes rise on their hind legs in the
centre of the Plaza, statues which dwarf the great Khan himself.
Only one element is missing from this vast ensemble - people.
There are only two or threeof us in this immense townscape. Because
this is Ordos, a place that has been called the largest ghost town in
China.
Most of the new town buildings are empty or unfinished. The rampant
apartment blocks are full ofunsold flats.
It is a spectacular example of a new Chinese phenomenon, in many
cities - unsold flats,unlet shops, empty office blocks"
If you want to find a place where China's huge housing bubble has
alreadyburst, then Ordos is the place to come.
The story started about 20 years ago, with the beginning of a great
Mongolian coal rush.
Private mining companies poured into the green Inner Mongolian steppe
lands, pock-marking the landscape with enormous opencast holes in the
ground, or tunnelling underground.
Local farmers sold their land to the miners, and became instantly
rich. Jobs burgeoned. Ceaseless coal truck convoys tore up the roads.
And the old city of Ordos flourished as the money flowed in.
The municipality decided to think big, too.
It laid out plans for a huge new town for hundreds of thousands of
residents, with Genghis Khan Plaza atthe centre of it.
