The creation characteristics of zebra stripes

Every being, animate or inanimate, has a color. Moreover, there are
the same colors of the same species all over the world. No matter
where you go, the color of kiwis are green, the seasare blue or tints
of blue and the snow is white. The color of elephants is the same
everywhere in the world; the colors of trees is also the same. This
situation does not change for artificially produced colors. No matter
where you go in the world, if you mix yellow with red, and black and
white, you getorange and gray respectively. This also never changes.
The blackand white stripes of zebras are like this. The common
specialty of zebras living in different parts of the world is their
black and white stripes. These stripes, which have different wonders,
provide great benefits for zebras.
· Have you ever thought why zebras have black and white stripes?
· What could be the wonder of the stripes these beings possess?
Most zebras live in open places where there is not much place to hide.
Therefore, they need to be able to move very quickly in order to
survive.All the bodily structures of zebras are created in a way as to
provide for these needs.
Zebra, which remind people of horses at first glance, have long hairs
called a mane; their physical structure is also created quite similar
to horses and they run at least as fast as them. Zebras have very long
legs, strong muscles and lungs with broad surfaces which help these
beings torun long distances withoutgetting exhausted and being forced
to slow down. Even though zebras' bones are light, they are strong and
created specially for running fast. However, one of the most
interesting characteristics of zebras is their fur, which is made up
of black and white stripes.
Zebras' stripes help them camouflage:
One of the most importantdefense tactics in animals is, no doubt,
camouflage. Beings with camouflage ability are under special
protection because of theirbody structure having been created in a
compatible way to their living environment. The bodies of these beings
are very compatible with theirliving environment. The striped patterns
on zebras have an inherent camouflage ability and help them hide
against their enemies in nature. Asit is known, zebras live in
tall-grass pastures called savannas. It is very difficult to
distinguish zebras inside these tall-grass pastures; the stripes
appear as shadows of pastures and prevent the bulk of the animal's
body from beingseen clearly.
Claiming that this amazingcamouflage system of zebras has come into
existence by coincidences is, of course, an unscientific and
irrational claim. If there is an order, it naturally has a regulator.
The flawless order on Earth belongs to Almighty Allah, the Merciful.
What rational people need to do is to think about Allah's creation in
detail. Almighty Allah reveals thistruth in Surat an-Nahl as such:
" And also the things of varying colours He has created for you in
the earth. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who pay heed.
" (Surat an-Nahl, 13)
Zebras' stripes are an important tool of defense:
Zebras' colors are one of their most important defense mechanisms.
When they stand together,the predatory animals thattypically hunt
them see the complete herd as a whole due to these stripes. In this
case, the hunter finds it difficult to choose the individual zebra it
will hunt, and this is a protection for zebras. At the same time, when
they stroll around as a herd, when their patterns are next to one
another, they appear as a block. The predators that want to hunt these
beings cannot focus on them.

Free Muslim Women

If the media and its ensuing stereotypes are to be believed then Islam
does not have very much to offer women, except for a life of misery,
oppression and slavery. However, if one bothers to look closely at
Islam then it has an abundance to offer men and women alike.
There is little doubt that many Muslim women are subject to abuse and
subjugation - without making sweeping generalizations, many women in
some so called Muslim lands are denied the rights given to them
byIslam - rights to which theyare entitled as human beings and as
women. However we must separateMuslims from Islam; we must separate
theory from practice. In Islam this separation is possible - Islamic
legislation has given women unprecedented status, evenif Muslims did
not always live up to these amazing standards.
Let us take a quick look at some of the rights of women in Islam,
comparing them with some of the legislation relating to women in
Britain:
Education
Considered by many these days as a basic human right, in Islam both
men and women are duty bound to seek education for the Prophet
Muhammad said: "The search for knowledge is a duty on every Muslim."
(Bukhari) So, while there were no places at British Universities until
the late 1870s (Ox. Ill. His. Brit. p493), there have been records of
Islamic Universities with women students throughout the history of
Islam: Nafisah was an early 8th century hadith scholar and the great
jurist Shafi participated in her circle at Al-Fustat. Shaika Shuhuda
another 8th century scholar was a lecturer at Baghdad University - the
Oxford and Cambridge of its time. Nazhun was a 12th century scholar
and ofcourse we cannot forget Ayesha, the wife of the Prophet who in
the 7th century was one of the greatest relaters of hadith.
So, whilst Muslim women were attending universitiesand were lecturers
and scholars in the 8th century, 80% of London Women and 100% of East
Anglican women were illiterate in 1640 - figures taken from A. Fraser
page 129 and D. Cressy page 178.
Political Participation
Women in the UK managedto gain the right to vote in 1918, but that was
only forwomen over thirty. They did not manage to gain fullvoting
rights equal with men until 1928. These gains were not achieved easily
though - to gain the vote the Suffragettes marched, rallied, chained
themselves to railings, went on hunger strike and eventually one of
them jumped in front of the Royal Horse on Derby Day. Muslims women
however each had the right to give or not to give their allegiance
from the beginning - and this right was given them without them having
to march, rally, not eat or jump in front of a horse.
Property
Up until 1801 British women did not have the right to own anything -
noteven themselves. For up until this time a husband had the right to
sell his wife. In Sweden in 1984 a man was entitled to half his wife's
earnings. Islam though has allowed women to own their own property
from the outset. Everything a woman earns belongs to her. She is not a
chattel to be bought and sold, but rather an individual human being,
responsible to no one for her income except for God. A married woman
may remind her husband:"What's his is theirs, what'shers is her own!"
It would be easy to go on with a list of the rights of women in Islam
- but how does Islam really benefit women?
Islam has given women the right to be themselves!They are equal before
God - on the Day of Judgment they will be answerable as individuals
and cannot say"my husband told me to doit", "my, father, brother,
uncle - led me astray". Nor will they be treated unfairly because they
are women - women have souls in Islam - and there has never been any
debate about that in Islamic history unlike in Christianity!
Islam offers to women, as it does to men, a belief in God, and this
upholds everything. Belief in the Creator gives life a wholeness, and
a balance, for it means that we do notlook at everything in the short
term - the intrinsic whole is this world and theHereafter. This belief
in God, this taqwa - God consciousness - thus shapes everything in
Islam.

The purpose of Life

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏‎ -What is the purpose of this life?
Money, holidays, a beautiful wife?
There is no point in us denying
Each heart beat brings us closer to dying
You'll breathe your last
Your life will have past
Don't pretend
Death's not the end
You will taste death, death never waited
Look around you, everything's created
It has a creator, it has a meaning
A mother gives birth and then comes it's weaning
The sun rises and gives us light
It sets, then falls, the blanket of night
The plants all grow, when falls the rain
They give fruits to man, and they too will wane
Why does man think that he will get away?
Spending life aimlessly, as if he's here to stay
A fixed time is appointed, everything will perish
Everything you hate, everything you relish
Except the Almighty Allah, He will remain
And then will come judgement, all on one plain
Allah will say, I gave you life
I gave you health, wealth and a wife
What did you do with yourtime?
What did you do in your prime?
Did you spread my message, did you spread islam ?
Why not? Did you not read the Quran?
My friends , we muslims, we are so blessed
Allah gave us islam to supercede all the rest
My non- muslim friends, theQuran must be read
Read before it's too late and you're dead
You owe it to yourselves, itwill make you cry
You'll know these words are from the Lord most High
Instructing mankind to the purpose of life
And the reward my friends is everlasting life
Our purpose is to worship our Lord most High
The reward is heaven where no one will die
You'll have anything you want, all the best dishes
And Almighty Allah will grant all of your wishes
This life my friends is just a cage
We should live by His orders, to be safe from his rage
You will understand when you read the holy Quran
You'll know the religion of truth is islam
Protect yourself and your families from hell
Embrace islam and all will be well
For the deeds of this life, you'll pay the price
In the depths of hell or in paradise.

Creation in the Quran

Religion has taught the truth of creation, which all people can grasp
through reason and personal observation, since the creation of
firsthuman being. All divine religions have taught that God created
the universe by commanding "Be!" and that its flawless functioning is
proof of His great power of creation. Many verses in the Qur'an also
reveal this truth. For example, God reveals how He miraculously
created theuniverse from nothing: " The Originator of the heavens and
Earth. When He decides on something, He just says to it, 'Be!' and it
is " (Surat al-Baqara, 117).
We are also told in the Qur'an:
He created the heavens and Earth with truth. Theday He says "Be!" it
is. Hisspeech is Truth. The Kingdom will be His on the Day the Trumpet
is blown, the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible. He is the
All-Wise,the All-Aware. (Surat al-An'am, 73)
We all know that presentday science demonstrates the invalidity of the
materialist-evolutionist claim and confirms the fact of creation.
Contraryto the claims of the theory of evolution, all the proofs of
creation that surround us show that chance had no role in the
universe's coming into existence. Every detail that emerges as we
observe the sky, Earth, and all living things is intended as evidence
of God's great power and wisdom.
God Created the Universefrom Nothing
God creates everything, in the form and at the time that He chooses,
without the use of any model and out of nothing. Since He is exalted
above any defectand is rich beyond any need. He has no need of any
cause, vehicle, or stages for His creation. Nobody should be deceived
by the fact thateverything is linked to given causes and naturallaws.
God is beyond all these causes and laws, since He created them.
God, the Lord of the Earth and the Heavens, can also do away with
these causes if He so wills. For instance, He can create people who do
not need oxygen to survive, and therefore do not need any lungs. Given
this, why would He "need" to perfect the lung by making it evolveover
time or through any other mechanism? It is therefore completely wrong
for people to think of God's greatness and might as being limited to
their own feelings and reason. We can have knowledge only to the
extent that He permits.
God can use particular stages in His creation if He so wills. For
example, He produces a plant from a seed or a human being from the
coming together of a sperm and an egg cell. Yet these stages have
nothing to do with evolution and have no room for chanceor
coincidence. Every stage in the emergence of a plant, or the turningof
a single cell into a human being "in the best of forms," happens
thanks to the perfect systems created by God'sinfinite might.
God willed and created the Earth and the Heavens, all that lies
between, and all living and non-living things. This is very easy for
Him, as indicated in the Qur'an:
He created the heavens and Earth with truth. Theday He says "Be!" it
is. Hisspeech is Truth... (Surat al-An'am, 73)
Our Word to a thing when We will it is just to say to it "Be!" and it
is. (Surat an-Nahl, 40)
He gives life and causes to die. When He decides on something, He just
says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Surah Ghafir, 68)
Creation is very easy for God. As revealed in theseverses, God says to
a thing "Be!," thereby willing it to be so. God reveals in many verses
that He created the universe and living things in perfect form. It is
a grave mistake for believers to adhere to forced explanations in the
face of this evident truth and to make such specious claims that God
employed evolution to create and used mutation, natural selection, and
transitional stages between apes and humans. It is quite wrong to put
forward such accounts, for whichthere is no evidence in either the
Qur'an or science, in the hope of being accepted by evolutionists.
God makes all the laws in the universe and givesthem the form He
chooses, brings about what He wills and when He wills it, permeates
everything in the Earth and the Heavens, and rules everything with
Hispower. Yet some people do not fully comprehendHis might and thus
judgeHim based upon their own limited powers.
God reveals their existence in the Qur'an:
They do not measure God with His true measure when they say:"God would
not send down anything to a mere human being."... (Surat al-An'am, 91)
They do not measure God with His true measure. God is All-Strong,
Almighty. (Surat al-Hajj, 74)
They do not measure God with His true measure. The whole Earth will be
a mere handful for Him on the Day of Resurrection the heavens folded
up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above the
partners they ascribe! (Surataz-Zumar, 67)
Contrary to what those who believe in evolutionary creation suggest,
God did not firstcreate apes and then cause them to evolve into humans
through flawed transitional forms with missing organs. Rather, as the
Qur'an reveals, God created man in the most perfect manner:
We created man in the finest mold. (Surat at-Tin, 4)
He created the heavens and Earth with truth andformed you, giving you
the best of forms. And Heis your final destination. (Surat
at-Taghabun, 3)
These verses are some ofthe proofs that God created man in perfect
form, in other words, the form that he has now.
Of course, man also has several incapacities and weaknesses, all of
whichremind him of his poverty before our Lord. Deformities and
disabilities are the results of a purposeful creation, for they serve
as reminders for those who see them and as a test for those who carry
them. They are not imperfections caused by evolutionary process as
falsely claimed by the evolutionists.
In the Qur'an, God describes how easy creation is for Him:
Does He Who created theheavens and Earth not have the power to create
the same again? Yes indeed! He is the Creator, the All-Knowing.(Surah
Ya Sin, 81)
Your creation and resurrection is only like that of a single self. God
is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.(Surah Luqman, 28)
