Cats' eyes with sharpnight vision

How do cats sense the world?
· Why are their form of seeing and sensing the world different from
human beings?
The features of creation in cats' eyes are one of the evidences of the
perfection in Almighty Allah's creation. Our Lord created cats' eyes
with thecontrol and coordination features compatible with the needs of
these beings. In one verse, the perfection in Allah's creation is told
as such:
"He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him
belong the Most Beautiful Names.Everything in the heavens and earth
glorifies Him.He is the Almighty, the All-Wise."(Surat al-Hashr,24)
Cats' Night Vision Is Very Strong
Cats can easily distinguish colors like green, blue and red. However,
the actual superiority of their eyes is that they are created for
night vision. Cats' eyelids open up at nights; so in environments of
low light,the colored layer of the eye called the iris makes the pupil
larger (covering more than almost 90% of the eye) and allows more
light to come in. In environments with high levels of light, this
system works in the opposite wayto protect the retina, the pupil
narrows and turns into a thin line.
There is a layer that does not exist in humans. This layer just behind
the retiana reflects the light. Since the light that falls onthis
layer is reflected back, light passes two times through the retina.
Therefore, cats can easily see in low light, and even in dark
environments the human eye cannot see in. The reason that cats' eyes
shine under light in the dark is this layer. This layer is made up of
tapetum lucidum crystals that reflect light. Thanks to these crystals,
the light that falls on the back of the eye is reflected back tothe
retina. Some of the reflected light turns back from the lens, and
causes the eyes to shine at night. Thanks to this structure, the
amount of light the eye can see in the dark is increased, and more
precisely, available light is better used. Therefore, cats have
better vision in the dark. This is not a formof bio-luminescence,
because the light is not produced by the animal, but is a result of
light being reflected back.
Another reason that cats can see well in the dark is that there are
more rod cells than cone cells in their retinas. As it is known, rod
cells are sensitive to light only. They form a black or whiteimage
depending on the light that comes from objects, but they are sensitive
enough to work even with little light.
Thanks to these special rod cells, all cats can easilyhunt at night.
As it is seen, Allah created the most appropriate eye structure for
their living conditions and nutritional needs. Cats' eyes have
markedly different structures and characteristics in line with their
own needs. This is one of the unique examples of Allah's art of
creation. Our Lord's uniquescience of creation is revealed in one
verse as such:
" The Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on
something, He just says to it, 'Be!' and it is. (Suratal-Baqara, 117)
Cats' Visual Field Is Very Wide
In addition to cats' perfect vision at night, their visual field is
also much wider than that of humans. Whereas mans' visual field is
limited to 160 degrees, cats can easily see up to 187 degrees. With
these characteristics, they can easily detect threats. This
characteristic of the eye is another example of Allah's art and
manifestation on beings indifferent ways. As it is toldin the Qur'an,
these creation characteristics area form of example (lesson)for
believers:
"There is instruction for you in cattle... " (Surat an-Nahl, 66)
Cats' Eye Structure Is Different Than Men
In cats' eyes, there is a third eyelid called the " nictitating
membrane." This membrane is transparent, and moves from one side of
the eye to the other. As such, cats can blink their eyes without
completely closing them. This third eyelid prevents the cat's eye from
being harmed while hunting. Moreover, it ensures materials such as
dust and such keep away from the surface of the eye and that the eye
stays moist; this is becausecats do not constantly blink their eyes
like humans. If cats blinked their eyes all the time to keep their
eyes moist like humans, this would cause a great hardship for them
while hunting. Not blinking their eyes is a perfect advantage Allah
created for these beings.
Cats' Eyes Are Sensitive To Movements
Cats cannot see close-range as clearly as people do and cannot focus
on objects close to them. But our Lord granted sensory hairs with a
very strong sensory mechanism to these beings. Cats can easily detect
close-range thanks to their sense of smell and sensory hairs.

The Characteristics Of Creation In Frogs’ Jumping Movements

Frogs are perfect beings that can easily travel long distances by jumping
• How do frogs jump even though they have exercised for this?
• Why do they not get tired during these jumping movements?
Today athletes exercise and condition themselves for many years in
order to jump long distances and work out to prepare their muscles to
jump because jumping is a movement that puts a good of stress on all
muscles. Since it requires all the muscles of the body working
together, it causes a very serious amount of energy to be expended and
it is also very tiring. But this movement, which is very tiring for
man, is very ordinary and easy for a small frog. After a person jumps
for a number of times, he is out of breath, but the frog is not even
tired.
The Source of Frogs' Jumping Characteristic IsHidden In Their Creation
Some frogs can jump amazingly great distances.This jumping
characteristicof frogs has caught the attention of researchers from
the Brown University and they have examined the workings of frogs'
muscles with the help of X-ray technology by filming the jumping of
frogs.
Henry Astley of Brown University, who examines the bio-mechanics of
the jumping of frogs , points out the miraculous situation of a frog's
jump by saying "Muscles cannot produce such good jumps on their own."
As a result of detailed examinations , it was found that the
mechanical working of frog tendons function like water under
pressure. What is behind the jump is the characteristic of a
"stretched tendon." When getting ready to jump, tendons stretch and
kick back during the jump. Before the jump, leg muscles shorten, and
load energy on every tendon directs this energy loaded on it with
pressure and makes the frog jump. This pressure is so strong that it
can cause the frog to jump far away.
In order to form this pressure, one quarter of the frog's body weight
accumulates on its legs. In other words, when this stretching and
kicking back under pressure do not happen, frogs that dwell on tree
tops and leaves in water cannot maintain their lives.
Scientists who examined the frog's jump with threedimensional X-ray
technology realized that the jump is more complex than this.
When the frog prepares tojump, its calf muscles shorten. After
exactly 100 milliseconds, this muscle stops moving and energyis
loaded onto the stretched tendons. During the jump, the tendon wrapped
around the ankle-bone releases the energy with the speed of an arrow
being released from a bow. This resonance causes the ankle joint to
enlarge veryfast and throws the frog forward with pressure.
Frogs' Jumping Techniques Are A Work of Allah's Infinite Knowledge
The jumping characteristic and muscle structure of frogs is important
to understand that Darwinistopinions about reptiles learning to jump
and turning into frogs are wrong. This great fallacy isbecause the
jumping movement is seen by Darwinists as a very simple and learned
movement.
However, while a being can learn to jump as muchas it wants, it cannot
alter the structure of its musclesor the workings of its tendons. In
order to make an anatomical change in the body, all the genes and the
DNA of that being would have to be re-written. The cells can build
that tendon only if there is information on what the tendon will look
like and how it will work in its genes.
No being has the means orknowledge to alter its own genetic structures
and re-write its whole gene map.
Our Almighty Lord, Who is the Creator and Controller of all things in
the sky, on the ground and in between, controls all genes and cells.
Allah, Whocreates every single gene and inspires to every cell the
tendon it will build, provides the perfect qualities in living beings
as an evidence for His Name, "He Who Creates Flawlessly."
"He is Allah – the Creator,the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him
belong the Most Beautiful Names.Everything in the heavens and earth
glorifies Him.He is the Almighty, the All-Wise." (Surat al-Hashr, 24)
Frogs have not acquired the ability to jump through their own efforts
or by coincidences, but were created with this ability right from the
beginning. No doubt, Almighty Allah, the Owner of all things, is the
One Who creates the frog. Allah controls the metabolism of frogs and
all other beings on earth at every moment. In one verse of the Quran
it is revealed as such:
"I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is no
creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is on a Straight
Path." (Surah Hud, 56)

A Muslim is Passionately Devoted, Not to Possessions and Wealth, But to Allah

Why is the devotion to wealth and property of people who do not live
by the moral values of the Qur'an in fact great heedlessness that
believers scrupulously avoid?
How do believers use their wealth and possessions on Allah's path?
What secret does our Lord reveal in the Qur'an for believers who spend
all their wealth and assets on Allah's path?
People who do not live by the moral values of the Qur'an suffer
various pains; these people even make the desire to "possess wealth
and property" their greatest aim in life. Allah describes such people
as "trying to outdo one another in wealth" in the Qur'an (Surat
al-Hadid, 20). But this desire is literally a delusion because it is
AllahWho owns everything in the world. People deceive themselves when
they imagine they "own possessions." They did not personally create
the things they imagine they possess, and they have no power
whatsoever to maintain them. Neither can they prevent them ceasing to
exist. Moreover,there is no question of them "owning" anything;
because they themselves are under the control of Allah, "the king of
Mankind" (Surat an-Nas, 2). In the Qur'an it is revealed that all
objects and entities belong to Allah, our Creator:
"Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth and everything
in between them and everything under the ground belongs to Him."
(Surah Ta Ha, 6)
Believers, who have faith in Allah and attach no undue importance to
the transitory baubles of this world, who know that all things come
from Allah alone and who therefore spend what they have on His path,
may hope for Almighty Allah's mercy and paradise. Since they prefer
the life of the hereafter, which Allah sayswill last for all eternity,
over the life of this world, it is actually they who are the wealthy
ones.
Believers Fervently Spend Their Assets on Allah's Path
As revealed in the verse "[There are men who are] not distracted by
trade or commerce from the remembrance of Allah and the establishment
of prayer and the payment of alms; fearing a day when all hearts and
eyeswill be in turmoil –" (Surat an-Nur, 37) , one ofthe things that
people today most give themselves over to is making money and
possessing goods and property. Yet in that verse,Allah reveals that
believersmust be filled with passion for Him alone, andthat their
hearts can only be contented by repeatingHis name, and that they fear
losing His approval bybehaving in any other way. Believers have a
strong desire to give their possessions to others in need, for the
purpose of gaining the approval of Allah, to whom they are
sopassionately devoted. Another verse reveals howall wealth belongs to
Allahalone:
"Spend in the Way of Allah. Do not cast yourselves into destruction.
And do good: Allah loves good-doers." (Surat al-Baqara, 195)
Someone who thinks by the light of his own criteria thinks that he
will become wealthier by not sharing his possessions with anyone and
hiding and hoarding them, and that this is the only way he can
guarantee his own future. He believes that anything he gives away –
even if he has no need of it – will make him poorer, and that anything
he losesnow will endanger his future comfort. But things are not at
all as he imagines. Allah reveals in the Qur'an, as a miracle, that a
person who spends on His path and who givesalms will acquire greater
possessions and abundance.
But someone who analyzes events only by external criteria may easily
be deceived by this deception of satan's. For example, he may be
aboutto give his shirt to someone in need when satan whispers that if
he does so, he will have to gowithout it, that he may need it one day,
and that it would be better to hold onto it. And indeed, it would
appear on the surface that he would be deprived of a shirt, but if he
forgets that Allah bestows many times over on whom He wishes, on who
has much purity, thenhe has fallen into heedlessness. Indeed, Allah
tells us in one verse that:
"The metaphor of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah is
that of a grain which produces seven ears; in every ear there are a
hundred grains." (Surat al-Baqara, 261)
The example in the verse is a secret revealed by Almighty Allah to
believersin the Qur'an. For that reason, believers spend solely in
order to win Allah's good pleasure, mercy, paradise and abundance. So
long as they expend their goods and possessions on Allah's path and
are careful aboutwhat is lawful and unlawful, Almighty Allah will
increase their wealth, smooth their way and create many more
opportunities for them to spend on His path.

HADEES - ~

Rasuulullah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Whoever does not
argue when he is in the wrong will have a home built for him on the
edge of Paradise. Whoever avoids it when he in the right will have a
home built for him in the middle of Paradise. And whoever improves his
own character, a home willbe built for him in the highest part of
Paradise." [Tirmidhi]
Arguing with people is strongly discouraged in Islam. We are to state
our point of view and then leave it at that. Nor are we to involve
ourselves in matters that do not affect aperson's deen. Note that a
person is to shun argumentwhether he is in the right or whether his
stand is wrong. Both get houses built for them in Paradise. But since
the person who knows that he is right findsit more difficult to leave
the argument and let things be, he/she is promised a greater reward.
Arguing with people rarely gets anyone to change their minds. It
usually only produces defensiveness and creates ill feelings between
people. The issue becomes a matter of one's ego and makes it more
difficult for a person to change their stance. Allah (subhana wa
ta'ala) loves to have Muslims live harmoniously with each other. Try
this hadith out inpractice, and you will see that your relations
improvewith people and that you have greater peace of mind.
