Some people look at their surroundings with familiarity and a superficial eye.
As a result, they are unaware of and fail to think about the sublime creation of living things.
Yet, the fact is that all living things were created with miraculous characteristics that can lift this veil of familiarity.
Allah introduces us to his matchless creative artistry and the living things he has brought into being with the most wondrous features.
Thinking about these characteristics will be instrumental in ones coming to appreciating the infinite might of Allah.
Millions of different species, many of which have yet to be discovered, inhabit the earth that Allah has furnished with matchless beauty.
They all have different appearances, physical features, and lifestyles.
Each one contains countless fine details that astonish one and can only be described as miracles.
The scientific world is discovering more of these sublime and miraculous characteristics in living things every day.
The superior structures in living things are also a source of inspiration for technological research.
In this film you are about to watch, you will see examples of the sublime creation of living things and once again bear witness to the matchless nature of Allah's creative artistry.
With their majestic, powerful, and impressive looks, horses have attracted the interest and admiration of each other.
In addition to this attractive appearance, their bodily systems also contain many quite astonishing features.
Horses have special muscular and bone structures that enable them to take long strides, run fast, and reduce the amount of energy they expend as they accelerate.
As a horse moves, most of the load placed on its legs is borne by the bone known as the third metacarpal.
This bone, approximately 25 centimeters long, has a hole the size of a bean on one surface.
A hole in the material will normally weaken it.
Indeed, when pressure is applied to a hard body, the first place that fracturing tends to occur is where the hole is.
Yet, the metacarpal bone in horses does not fracture at the hole site.
That explains why this superior structure in horse bones has become a source of inspiration for researchers.
Scientists today are taking the structure of equine bone as a model in their search for flexible and resistant airplane materials.
These holes, through which electrical cables, fuel line, and hydraulic pipes pass through, are all risk factors in terms of the plane's airframe.
In the same way, there are also holes in automobiles, houses, and ships.
Thickening the material around the holes is currently employed in an attempt to overcome the additional weakness stemming from the holes in these structures.
However, engineers know that these techniques are not an effective solution, because as the material becomes thicker, it also becomes heavier.
And any extra weight in airplanes means extra fuel costs.
Solutions aimed at overcoming this problem are now being sought in the superb engineering structure in horses' legs.
Scientists tested the equine metacarpal by applying a special force in the laboratory.
They then manufactured a plate by replicating the features of the bone.
They performed a number of tests in order to measure the plate's resistance.
In one of the two plates manufactured from the same material, they replicated the hole in the horse metacarpal,
while making a simple hole with a drill in the other.
They then placed these plates between two upright columns and applied force intended to break them.
It took twice as much force to break the plate that replicated the hole in the equine metacarpal.
The plate with the hole made by a drill always broke at the hole,
while the area containing the hole in the plate replicating the metacarpal always remained sound.
The researchers concluded that they could solve many problems by replicating the structure in that bone.
For example, that structure in the horse bone could provide a vitally important elasticity for a boat struggling with high waves,
or a plane caught in air turbulence.
As we have seen, scientists investigate the systems created by Allah in nature,
and, inspired by them, go on to develop new technologies.
Of course, this matchless arrangement in the horse bone is but one example of Allah's sublime creative artistry.
Allah shows the matchless nature of his creation in all the living things he brings into being with flawless characteristics.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah.
He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.
The kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to him.
He gives life and causes to die.
He has power over all things.
The kingdom of the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah.
Being exceedingly small, their activities and diversity are completely disproportionate to their size.
Bacteria are one member of this micro-world.
These life forms are the most numerous in the world.
The entire ecosystem is dependent on the activities of bacteria, and bacteria also has an impact on human life in many ways.
By means of these micro-organisms, we may one day be able to charge radios, clocks, or mobile phone batteries, not with plugs, but with a device we can plug into a bowl of sugar.
This is not idle speculation.
It is a new opportunity placed at our disposal by micro-organisms with their perfect structures.
Many techniques are used today to manufacture energy.
Most are based on fossil fuels, such as coal or oil.
But since coal and oil are not present on earth in limitless quantities, these sources of energy are not always sufficient.
In addition, the facilities that manufacture energy using these fuels require considerable financial investment.
But one technique developed recently has the potential to resolve all the economic and environmental problems concerned with energy manufacturing.
Because researchers have manufactured electricity using a characteristic inherent in the creation of a kind of bacteria.
Bacteria perform a series of chemical reactions which produce electricity, and the energy using this technique has the capacity to use a bowl of sugar to power a 60-watt bulb for 17 hours.
Scientists are now able to produce enough energy from bacteria to power a calculator.
The only side product from this is carbon dioxide.
Microbiologist Derek Loughley from the University of Massachusetts describes their discovery in these words.
Microscopic fuel cells that try to convert sugar into electricity are very profitable.
In the past, only 10% of the fuel can be converted into electricity.
This rate is over 80% now.
Also, in previous methods used to convert carbohydrates into electricity,
medium systems, which have a poisonous effect on people, were required.
The organism that we found does not need a medium because it detached itself directly on the surfaces of electrons.
This is one of the biggest advantages.
People did without a medium before, but conversion rates were less than 1%.
In addition, it is a great advantage not to use any kind of poisonous substance in electricity generation.
Researchers say that a higher energy capacity can be obtained by using more conductors and a receptor to which more bacteria can adhere.
As we have seen, bacteria can teach something to human beings, despite all our accumulated knowledge and technology.
As the British zoologist Sir James Gray notes, bacteria do much more than laboratory activities.
A bacteria is more complex than any living system known to human beings.
In this world there is no laboratory that can compete with the biochemical activities of this smallest living organism.
Of course the bacteria did not give rise to the marvelous systems they possess by themselves.
It flies in the face of both the laws of reason and logic, not to mention science,
to maintain that these complex systems all came about by chance.
It is almighty and omniscient Allah who created bacteria in such a way as to possess special systems capable of performing chemical processes to benefit human beings.
Everything, living or not, created by Allah is explicit evidence of his existence.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
Among his signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and all the creatures he has spread about in them.
And he has the power to gather them together whenever he wills.
Computers are now part of every moment of our lives.
They are in our homes, places of work, and even our cars.
We could easily spend 24 hours a day in front of the computer if we wish to.
And the technology in the computers we use so intensively is developing rapidly all the time.
Rising standards of living mean that computer processing speeds have to increase at the same pace.
So computers are getting faster all the time.
New models can reach mind-blowing speeds.
Faster chips that accelerate the speed at which computers function mean that calculations and processes can be carried out in a shorter time.
But the faster these chips work, the more electricity is used, and the chips heat up considerably as a result of these rapid processes.
The chips have to be cooled if they are not to melt.
But today's fans are insufficient to cool the latest generation of chips adequately.
Chip designers looking for a solution to the problem eventually declared that they have found a solution in nature.
Butterflies.
Butterfly wings have an inherently perfect structure.
With their 170,000 or so different species and brightly colored and variously patterned delicate wings,
butterflies are some of the best known and most striking of all living things.
In addition to all their physical beauty, butterflies are also a source of inspiration for modern day technology.
Research at Tufts University has revealed the presence of a cooling system in butterfly wings.
Compared with the existing cooling system in computer chips, this system is said to exhibit a far superior performance.
Since butterflies are cold-blooded, they constantly have to adjust their body temperatures in the most efficient manner.
This should pose a great problem for them, because the friction arising during flight should lead to high amounts of heat.
That heat needs to be cooled down rapidly, otherwise the butterfly cannot survive.
The solution lies in blood passing through very fine, film-like tissues that cover the wings.
Chip manufacturers such as Intel and Motorola are planning to apply this new cooling technology within the next two years or so.
It must not be forgotten that this peerless structure in butterflies has existed ever since they first appeared.
Otherwise, butterflies could never have survived at all.
In other words, butterflies cannot, as evolutionists maintain, have come into being over a long period of time through a series of small, gradual changes.
The fact that butterflies have been created together with a solution to the problem of heating in their wings shows us the omniscience of our Lord, their Creator.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to Him. All are submissive to Him.
It is He who originated creation and then regenerates it. That is very easy for Him.
His is the most exalted designation in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.
The floods that arise because of intense rains are some of the greatest natural disasters,
sometimes leading to horrific loss of human life and incalculable property damage.
But have you ever wondered how ants living underground manage to survive these floods?
Powerful rains might pose a severe threat to ants that make their nests below ground.
Sudden rain might quickly lead to an area containing an ant colony being flooded.
The underground chambers and passages might swiftly fill with water, resulting in the sudden deaths of billions of ants.
But ants have several means of overcoming this danger.
Some species avoid the threat of flooding by collecting water through a kind of drainage system with complex tunnels.
Other species take precautions by raising the mouths of their nest as little mounds and putting waterproof covers over them.
But the defensive system ants employ against the threat of flooding are not limited to the construction sphere.
Amazingly enough, ants are also able to predict floods and engage in emergency planning.
In one species of ant that lives in tropical forests, the first ant to detect even a single drop of water entering the nest
hurls itself into the nest, rather than fleeing to a safe place and saving its own life.
Its aim is to warn the other ants.
That ant sprints down the passages of the nest, thus sounding the alarm to the whole colony.
The scent trail it leaves behind leads the other members to safe exits.
Sometimes colonies have been observed to abandon the nest entirely depending on the severity of the situation.
It takes just 30 seconds for the entire colony to depart the nest.
members to save exits. Sometimes colonies have been observed to abandon the nest
entirely depending on the severity of the situation. It takes just 30 seconds
for the entire colony to depart the nest.
But what if the rain is so intense as to swamp the nest in less than 30 seconds?
In that event the ants cling together to form a raft consisting of adults, the queen and her as
yet unhatched eggs. The raft serves as a lifeboat for the queen and the young because they stay in
the middle of a great mass of ants. This living life raft that fights the waters drops anchor when
it comes to tall plants or a hillock.
Researchers say that the system is highly effective, that the majority of ants survive
the rains and that once the waters have receded they set about repairing their nest once again.
Why does an ant elect to warn its fellows and thus risk its own life rather than saving itself?
Why don't all the ants struggle to get to a safe part of the raft rather than ensuring the safety
of the queen and the young?
The answer to these questions are clear.
Allah, the creator of all living things, has created ants together with an alarm system that tells them
of the rain before it comes and has also created them with altruistic instincts.
Allah is He who knows the needs of all living things and who created these to perfection.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
It is Allah who created the seven heavens and of the earth the same number,
the command descending down through all of them,
so that you might know that Allah has power over all things
and that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge.
The world of birds are the jewels of the sky.
They can fly high or low, fast or slow.
Their flight techniques are always immaculate and inspiring to behold.
But the examples of the flawless creation in birds are by no means limited to the ways they fly.
The way that birds resting on telephone wires can keep their balance without tiring
has attracted the attention of many people.
Neither changes in wind direction or the way the wind causes the wires to move can impair that balance.
Thinking of the tightrope walkers who perform in circuses will give one a better idea
of the superior nature of the way that birds are able to maintain their balance.
For example, a tightrope walker trying to walk on a taut steel cable
has to use a pole manufactured out of special materials in order to keep his balance.
That pole bestows a kind of balancing mechanism for the tightrope walker
and allows him to remain on the cable without falling.
But birds do not use any tools to keep their balance
and are far more skilled than any tightrope walker.
They can glide down from the air, land on a wire, and establish their balance in less than a second.
The German scientist Professor Reinhold Necker, from the University of Bochengruel,
spent four years researching how it is that birds, such splendid acrobats,
can remain on a wire without falling off.
He discovered that birds are equipped with a special balance mechanism.
Two different organs are apparently involved.
One is the inner ear, a feature also shared with many other vertebrates.
That organ is more useful when the bird is in the air and prevents it from turning upside down as it flaps its wings.
The other organ is in the area of the pelvic bone.
This perfectly functioning organ consists of hemispherical channels on the right and left of the backbone.
The inside of these symmetrical channels are filled with a special fluid.
Professor Necker describes how the system functions.
These hemispherical channels operate like a scale balance.
The fluid enters one or another channel according to the movements of the bird's body.
This system functions by means of nerve cells that work similarly to a computer system.
Nerve cells in the lobes send signals to the legs and cerebellum when stimulated mechanically.
Necker says,
They so regulate muscle movements that they provide a flawless balance.
Were it not for these organs of balance in birds, they could easily fall off a branch or a wire at the slightest gust of wind.
Indeed, scientists have observed birds with damaged pelvic region organs being unable to balance and falling to the ground.
Examination of the structure in these organs revealed that once the channels have formed,
they are filled with a fluid with a specially adjusted viscosity.
Of course, no such organ can form of its own volition.
Furthermore, muscle and nerve cells consisting of unconscious atoms cannot wish to keep the bird in balance,
nor calculate the requisite adjustments.
These balanced movements in birds happen by the leave of Almighty Allah,
He who keeps all things He creates under His control.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
Have they not looked at the birds above them, with wings outspread and folded back?
Nothing holds them up but the all-merciful.
He sees all things.
We have witnessed the miraculous attributes of many living things during this film.
We have seen how some living things are able to achieve things that are difficult for us to do today.
Even with all our technological needs.
As you were watching this film, living things all over the world continued with all their innumerable activities,
and without you being aware of them in any way.
For example, all the two million species of animals on Earth continued with all their different activities.
Under the sea, in the sky, and under the ground.
The way they hunt, feed, find shelter, and protect themselves from danger are all under control.
As they have been for millions of years.
A moment's thought will lead us to a most important truth.
The world is the truth.
It is the truth.
The world is the truth.
It is the truth.
are all under control, as they have been for millions of years.
A moment's thought will lead us to a most important truth.
There is a vast and flawless plan in the universe.
The creator of such an immaculate equilibrium, in which everything is calculated right down
to the finest detail, is without doubt almighty and omniscient Allah.
Some thinking about the way that the matchless features of all the millions of different
life forms on earth appear, will cause one to realize immediately that not a single one
could be the result of unconscious phenomenon, that no living things can spontaneously acquire
immaculate characteristics, and that not a single component of any living thing can come
into being by chance.
All animals, plants and human beings are impeccably created by Allah.
Allah is omniscient, and his creation is flawless.
What people must do, is to seek out and learn to see Allah's signs, and seek to grasp the
infinite knowledge, might, and artistry of Allah, on the basis of all the perfection they
see.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
In the creation of the heavens and the earth, in the alternation of night and day, there
are signs for people with intelligence.
Those who remember Allah, standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the
creation of the heavens and the earth.
Our Lord, you have not created this for nothing.
Glory be to you.
So safeguard us from the punishment of the fire.
God, you are not created yet.
Thank you.
God, you are not created withfr cyber.
Thank you.
Bye.
Thank you.
