Birds That Deactivate Poison: Macaws

When a person is infected with poison, his only recourse is to take a
drug to counter the effects of the poison or to remove the poison from
his body through medical intervention. Otherwise, a person who lacks
specialized knowledge about poisons will be unable to cure himself
through using a plant or some other kind of counteractive substance.

Yet, some creatures innately have this knowledge that most people must
learn through education. Certain animals, which do not possess minds
to be educated, any intelligence and, in short, any consciousness at
all, can cure themselves very easily. The striking feature about the
methods animals use to cure themselves is that they know what to do
very well and have determined what is good for each particular
illness. Is it reallythe animals themselves who have determined these
things? How have animals come to possess such knowledge? Evolutionists
claim that most animal behavior such as this is instinctive. However,
they cannot explain the origin of these behaviors or how they
originally came to exist.

First of all, it is not possible for creatures to learn these
behaviors over time. An animal that is poisoned, for example, will die
right away. In this case, it is not possible for it to imagine how it
might remove the factor that caused it to be poisoned. Besides, we
should by no means forget that animals lack the consciousness capable
of thinking up such a solution.

Let us see, by giving an example, how animals display conscious
behavior while curing themselves. Macaws, which are akind of parrot,
are found in the tropical regions of Central and South America. One of
the most striking feature of these creatures, besides their truly
dazzling colors, is that they feed on poisonous seeds. These birds,who
can break even very tough shells with their hooked beaks, are experts
on the subject of poisonous seeds. This is a somewhat surprising
situation because, when the bird eats a poisonous seed, normally it
should suffer harm. Yet, amazingly, this does not happen. Immediately
after the bird eats the poisonous seeds, itflies directly towards a
rocky place and begins to gnaw and swallow the clayey rock pieces
there. The reason for this behavior is that the clayey rock pieces
absorb the toxins in the seeds, and so neutralize the effects of the
poison. In this way, the birds can digest the seeds without
experiencing any harm.

It is certainly impossible for macaws to know on their own how to
neutralize or counteract the poison found in the seeds they eat. It is
evident that such conscious behaviors in creatures do not originate
from themselves, and that their origin cannot be sought in some other
force or factor that exists in nature either. An invisible power
controls the behavior of all creatures and, in other words, inspires
them with what to do. This matchless power belongs to Allah. Allah,
Who is the ownerof a superior knowledge, is the Preserver of all
things.

WHY IS METAMORPHOSIS NOT EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION?

SOME creatures undergo physicalchanges to allow them to survive and
adapt to different natural conditions at different times. This process
is known as metamorphosis. People with insufficient knowledge of
biology and evolutionist claims also sometimes try to portray the
process as evidence for the theory of evolution. Those sources which
cite metamorphosis as "an example of evolution" are superficial,
narrow-based works of propaganda which seek to mislead those who do
not possess sufficient information on the subject, juvenile
evolutionists, or a few ignorant Darwinist biology teachers.
Scientists who are considered experts on evolution, and who thus know
more about the dilemmas and contradictions inherent in the theory,
hesitate to even refer to this ridiculous claim. That is because they
knowhow senseless it is…
Some creatures that undergo metamorphosis: the frog, the butterfly,
the bee, the mosquito.Butterflies, flies, and bees are some of the
best-known creatures that undergo metamorphosis. Frogs, which start
life in water and then live on land, are another example. This has
nothing to do with evolution, because the theory tries to account for
the differentiation between living things in terms of chance
mutations. Metamorphosis, however, bears no similarity at all to that
claim, being a pre-planned process which has nothing to do with
mutation or chance. It is not chance that brings metamorphosis about,
but genetic data which are built-in in the creature from the moment it
is born. The frog, for example, possesses the genetic information to
allow it to live onland while it is still living underwater. Even
while still a larva, the mosquito possesses the genetic information
regarding its pupa and adult states. The same thing applies to all
creatures that undergo metamorphosis.
Metamorphosis is evidence for creationPeople who try to portray
metamorphosis as "evidence of evolution" know nothing about biology
and the theory of evolution. Metamorphosis is a "planned change"
encoded inside genetic information, and bears no similarity to
evolution, which means "coincidental change." Metamorphosis is an
example of "irreducible complexity," and is evidence that disproves
evolution.
Recent scientific research into metamorphosis has shown that it is a
complex process controlled by different genes. As regards the
metamorphosis of the frog, for instance, the relevant processes in the
tail alone are controlled by more than a dozen genes. This means that
this process comes about thanks to several components working
together. This is a biological process that bears thefeature of
"irreducible complexity," which shows that metamorphosis is proof of
creation.
Prof. Michael Behe"Irreducible complexity" is a concept that has been
given its place in the scientific literature by Professor Michael
Behe, a biochemist who is known for his research proving the
invalidity of the theory of evolution. What it means is that complex
organs and systems function by the working together of all the
component parts that make them up, and that if even the smallest part
ceases to function,so will the whole organ or system. It is impossible
for such complex structures to have emerged by chance, with tiny
changes over time, as the theoryof evolution maintains. That is what
happens in metamorphosis. The process of metamorphosis happens through
exceedingly sensitive balances and timings in hormones which are in
turn affected by different genes. The creature will pay for even the
tiniest error with its life. It is impossible to believe that such
acomplex process could have come about by chance and by stages. Since
even a tiny error will cost the animal its life, it is impossible to
speak in terms of a "trial and error mechanism," or natural selection,
as evolutionists maintain. No creature can hang around for millions of
years waiting for its missing components to come about by chance.
Bearing this fact in mind, it is also apparent that the subject
constitutes no evidence at all forevolution, as some people who are
ill-informed about metamorphosis assume it to do.On the contrary, when
the complexity of the process and the systems that control it are
taken into consideration, animals which undergo metamorphosis can be
seen to be clear evidence for creation.

THE LIMITED MEMORY OF MAN AND THE ENDLESS MEMORY OF GOD

In the section related to timelessness, we mentioned that all our
information is in the memory. All the details pertaining to one's
life, everything one sees, hears, knows or feels are bits of memorized
information. So are our sensations about time. Now,we will deal with
the concept of memory more fully.
As mentioned in the preceding pages, we rely on our five sensesto
live. We perceive only what our senses allow and we can never succeed
in stepping out ofthe boundaries of our senses. The time and space we
live in is similarly perceived.If our brain cannot detect a being
through our five senses, we simply say that that being has
"disappeared." Accordingly, for us, events, images or sensations,which
are stored in our memory,exist, i.e., they are alive, while those that
are forgotten no longer exist. To put it another way, beings and
events, which are not in our memory, become past events for us;they
are simply dead and non-existent.
Yet, this holds true only for human beings; that is because itis only
human beings who have a limited memory. The memory of God, on the
other hand, is superior to everything.It is boundless and eternal. Yet
one point deserves mention here: the concept "the memory of God" is
used only for clarificationpurposes. It is definitely unlikely that
any comparison or similarity could be drawn between the memory of God
and the memory of a man. God is surely the One Who creates everything
from nothingness and Who knows everything down to the last detail.
God introduces Himself in His book through His attributes.One of them
is al- Hafiz (The Preserver), "He Who preserves allthings in detail".
Behind this attribute, there are very important hidden mysteries.
PEOPLE IN ETERNITY
God, the al-Khalig (the Creator), is the One Who creates everything
from nothing and Who creates all things with the knowledge of what
will happen to them. As a manifestation of this attribute of God, by
the timeHe creates man in his mother's womb, eternity has begun for
him. Surely, man does not recall the stages of his own development in
the womb. However, every moment of this progress is present in the
sight of God and they quite definitely never disappear. Similarly, it
is unlikely that those initial phases and developmental stages of a
human being remain in his memory. Unless informed by God, man never
manages to see these moments. Some moments, however, remain onlyas
memories. The moments we experience are purely sensationspresented to
our soul. Yet, in theinfinite memory of God, everything remains as it
is. Everything people encounter in life, all details pertaining to
one's experiences, are all created by God and they never disappear. As
stated in the following verse, everything down to its last detail
remains in the sight of God.
".... This is so you will know thatGod knows what is in the heavens
and in the earth and God has knowledge of all things." (Surat
al-Ma'idah: 97)
Let's take the Prophet Adam as an example; all the details pertaining
to Adam's creation in paradise before he was sent to earth, and the
way he was tested in paradise are all presentin the Main Book. Adam's
initial creation from clay, the angels' prostration to him, as well as
the moment he was sent to earth and all the events he experienced are
all vivid and existing right now. None of them has disappeared, they
all exist right now in the sight of God, right down to their finest
details.
As another example, let's think of someone who is sorry for the death
of his cat. In fact, the moment the cat died and the period that that
same cat was still a kitten, in fact, its entire development from the
moment of its birth are kept vivid in the memory of God. Besides, the
moments the owner of this cat when he was at work or all the moments
he did not spend with the cat are vividly stored in the sight of God.
Consequently, death does not put an end to the existence of a being.
For all eternity, everything exists in the sight of God.
Likewise, the moment the Prophet Solomon (Sulayman) caressed the legs
of his horse remains forever. The disappearance of these horses behind
a curtain, the letter the Prophet Solomon sent to the Queen of Saba,
the moment this letter is read by the Queen and her soldiers, how the
Queen is welcomed to the palace of Solomon, the moment she thought the
ground of the palace to be a lake and the words of the Queen:"I do now
submit in Islam, with Solomon, to the Lord of the Worlds." (Surat
an-Naml: 44)currently exist and will continue to exist for all
eternity.
These examples deserve a deeper and more detailed reflection. Assume
that in the time of the Prophet Noah (Nuh), a man's shirt became
unravelled and that after sometime a tailor sewed it up. This shirt,
the loom on which it was initially woven, the state of the shirt
before it became unravelled and the statein which it was sewed, and
even every second the tailor spent on using the needle to sew this
shirt, the process by which this shirt became utterly unusable,
inbrief, every stage, every second, every moment the shirt went
through are retained in the sightof God. Right at this moment, this
shirt is being woven, it is still sewn and it is still worn by its
owner who lived in the time of the Prophet Noah.
For someone who crosses the street from one side to the other, there
is a certain distance to be crossed. A person, however, who looks at
this street from a bird's eye view, feels no difficulty in seeing
every point in this street from one endto another.Let's also think
about the antique clock in your home. All the stages of manufacturing
which took place 200 years ago along with the manufacturing stages of
a single wire in the clock, the moment its hour and minute hand were
placed in it, the time this clock was sold to a shop and a customer
purchased it, then the moment the clock went out of order and was
givento a rag-and-bone man, the moment your grand-grandfatherpurchased
it from him and the time this clock was inherited first by your grand
father and then your father, and then you, the way you placed the
clock in your living roomand watched it with admiration, briefly,
every second in the history of the clock still remain in the sight of
God. In absolute terms, this clock is working right at this moment, it
has stopped again right now, it is being placed by you in your living
room and it is purchased by your grandfather at this moment. All these
happenings are present in the memory of God. Furthermore, not only
what the clock went through in the past but also its every
future-related moment — surely this is the "future" for you— is known
by God and is preserved in His sight. The way this clock will be
placed in your son's home in forty years' time and the collapse of the
clock in three hundred years' time is alsoincluded in the Mother of
the Book.
The verse"He knows what is in front of them and what is behind them.
But their knowledge does not encompass Him." (Surah Ta ha: 110) refers
to this fact (Surely God knows best). That is because God knows every
being moment by moment. He knows their previous states as well as
their latter states, that is, in the words of the Qur'an, "what is in
front of them and what is behind them", at all stages. In another
verse, God once again reminds us of the fact that everything is within
His Knowledge;
God - Him from Whom nothing is hidden, either on earth or in heaven.
(Surat Al 'Imran: 5)

Fathwa - Reciting Durood and kissing the thumbs during Khutba is not allowed

Q:How is it to kiss thumbs during Khutba upon hearing the name of
Rasool ALLAH peace beupon him and reciting Durood upon hearing the
Ayat-e-Durood?
A:During Khutba it is notallowed to perform Namaz or speak. In
Darmukhtar with Shami on page 158 in part two it is mentioned that *1.
When hear the name of Rasool ALLAH peace be upon him and
Ayate-e-Durood neither kiss the thumb nor recite Darood Shrif because
it is Fard to keep tounge silent (speechless), instead recite Darod
Shreef in heart. This order is for only during Khutba on other
ocassions it is Mustahib to kiss thumbs upon hearing the respectable
name of Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasslam. In Behr-ul-Ra'iq on
page 155 in part two it is mentioned that *2. In the same book on page
156 it is mentioned that *3. In Fataw-e- Amjadia on page 286 in part
one with refrence of Hidaya it is mentioned that *4. The same is also
mentioned in Fatawa-e-Rizvia on page 741 and 759 in part three. Allah
Ta'ala Knows the best.
