Allah,
the Creator, is the One who has brought forth every living entity from the
oceans. Among them, some creatures move on their bellies, while others traverse
the earth on four limbs. Allah creates whatever He wills, and His power
encompasses every form of diversity and complexity. (An-Nur 45)
On the surface of the earth, Allah has created
an astonishing array of creatures. If one were to count them, the number of
species would reach into the millions, each exhibiting unique characteristics,
coloration, and behavior. The individuals within each species—whether numbering
in the millions, billions, or beyond—possess distinct physical attributes that
set them apart from individuals of other species.
This diversity extends beyond the animal
kingdom, encompassing the plant and mineral realms as well. Consider the minute
insects that hover over flowers or vegetation, so small that attempting to
capture them would result in their disintegration. Despite their diminutive
size, within these creatures lie complex biological systems: kidneys, bones,
lungs, stomachs, intestines, brains, eyes, wings, legs—each part of the
organism perfectly adapted to its function within the whole.
The movements and behaviors of animals are
diverse and adapted to their environments. Some species are diurnal, sleeping
during the day and remaining active at night, while others follow the opposite
pattern. Some creatures are capable of surviving in extreme conditions,
retreating into shelters or burrows for extended periods without food, air, or
light, yet they remain alive.
Allah, in His wisdom, has made the wind
responsible for delivering sustenance to trees, negating the need for them to
move in search of food. Were trees to walk in search of nourishment, the
ecological balance would be disrupted. Similarly, if trees were to take flight,
as birds do, the order of nature would be irrevocably altered.
The oyster, floating gently on the sea,
exemplifies the miraculous nature of creation. Scientific inquiry has revealed
that the oyster possesses multiple mouths, each equipped with four lips. Among
birds, some species are equipped only with the sense of touch, while others
possess a range of sensory faculties. Some are endowed with three senses,
lacking sight, while others possess all five senses. The precision of Allah’s
creation is evident in every organism, whether it possesses two, three, four,
or five senses, for each is complete in its design and function.
In the animal kingdom, movement is manifested
in various ways: some creatures crawl on their bellies, others slither, and
some run. Birds take flight with two wings, while certain species of birds
possess four wings. Likewise, animals may have two, four, or six legs, and even
creatures with a thousand legs exist in this world.
"Do
they not contemplate how the camel was created, how the heavens were raised,
how the mountains were firmly established, and how the earth was spread out? O
Messenger (P.B.U.H.), recount to them the story of Allah’s creation." (Al-Ghashiyah
17-21)
The
mountains yield streams of minerals that irrigate the fields, and on their
heights, trees such as fir and cedar flourish. The mountains also harbor
precious minerals—coal, chalk, lime, copper, gold, iron, and others—deposited
over millions of years beneath the seas before emerging to provide the
resources upon which civilization relies.
Allah, the
Omnipotent Creator, the True Artisan, and the Necessary Existence, proclaims:
"We
have granted life to every living thing through water."
(Al-Anbiya
30)
Humankind is an extraordinary manifestation of
Allah’s creative power. Scientific research has disclosed that the creation of
a human being involves the interplay of trillions of cells. Initially, a single
cell divides into two, then four, and continues to multiply, eventually forming
the human body. Some cells contribute to the development of the nose, others to
the ears, while still others form the eyes and various organs. The human mind
wonders at this process: why do the cells of the nose not form the ears, or the
cells of the ears not form the eyes? The answer lies in the singular,
all-encompassing divine oversight that governs this process, ensuring that each
cell fulfills its designated role according to Allah’s eternal plan.
"Indeed,
all that is in the heavens and on the earth is subject to Allah’s Divine
Will." (Aal-e-Imran 83)

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
