In what context are animals
mentioned?
#1.
PROOF OF A CREATOR:
Contemplating the creation of allah (SWT) increases our faith.
It is mind-boggling to study the millions of animal species on
earth, and the amazing complexities of each animal
community.
Muslims believe that all animals recognize their creator and
praise him, even though we can not understand their
language.

The Qur'an says that animals benefit humans in many
ways.
They are mentioned as examples of Allah’s blessings
upon us.
Companionship
Psychological/Emotional benefits
Animals are aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Nutritional benefits: Meat, milk, eggs.
We also benefit from their feathers, wool, hair and
skin
(leather) for making fibers, warm clothing, shoes,
bags, rugs.
Transportation : Before cars were invented,
humans rode
horses, donkeys and camels to get from one pace to
#2.
Benefits to Humans:

#3
Their Integral part in the Earth’s ecosystem:
Allah’s creation is amazing and complex.
Every organism on Earth is essential to the ecosystem.
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms working together.
The air, plants, animals, soil and bacteria are all connected.
They work together.
Without animals there would be dysfunction within the ecosystem, and
human life would be disrupted.

#4.
Our responsibility towards animals:
Allah (SWT) entrusted us as the care-takers of
the Earth.
It is our religious duty to treat animals with
mercy.
Animal cruelty is prohibited in Islam.
The Prophet (S) said:
“There is no Muslim who plants a tree or
sows a seed and then a bird, or a person,
or an animal eats from it, except that it
is regarded as a charity for him.”

Surat Al Nahl
(#16)
In this Ayah, Allah (S) tells the
(female) bee to take a home within the
mountains and the trees and in the
homes she builds (of wax).
MIRACLE #1:
We know that bees build their hives
from their own wax, but scientists now
know that some bees (carpenter bees)
build hives in wood, and some can even
drill into solid stone-just as the Ayah
The Bee

MIRACLE #2:
-The verse referred to above is all in the feminine
tense.
Today we know that in the world of bees, it is a
female’s world.
The leader of the bees is the QUEEN.
The females are the workers, builders and defenders of
the hive.
They are the ones who build the hive and make the
honey.
“Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of
your Lord made easy (for you). There comes
forth from their bellies, a drink of varying color
which has healing for mankind. Verily, in this is
indeed a sign for people who think.”

When a bee whizzes by, nobody can tell what sex
it is!
If you are familiar with Shakespeare, some of
the characters in his play “Henry the Fourth”
mention that bees are “soldiers” and have a
“King”.
That’s not the case at all, but that was the
common belief back then!
Today, modern science has confirmed that the
bees we see out there doing their thing are
actually females and return to the nest and
answer to a Queen!
It took the last 300 or so years for modern
science and all her advancements to figure this
How could the Prophet have known
this fact if the Quran had not
been the words of the creator??

MIRACLE #3:
-The verse mentions “belly” in
the plural tense: “bellies”
Scientists now know that
honeybees have an extra stomach
dedicated for honey.
An illiterate man 1400 years had
no access to this knowledge, yet
we find it in the Quran.

Miracle # 4:
Surah Nahl is
Surah #16 and the
only place the
Bee is mentioned.
From the
beginning of the
Ayah to the end
of the word Bee,
there are 16
letters.
And bees have 16
pairs of

Nothing in the
Quran is a
coincidence.
The Queen has 32
chromosomes:
The exact number
of times that the
word Allah
appears before
the word Bee in
this Ayah!

MIRACLE #6:
The verse mentions that honey has
healing properties.
Modern medicine teaches us that
honey is a natural antibiotic,
MIRACLE #5:
The verse mentions that the honeybees
produce honey in many different colors.
Around the world we find honey that is
amber, gold, red and bronze- depending
on the type of flower from which the
pollen is extracted. The honey also
differs in intensity and flavor

Be Like the Bee
The Bee Lessons for Humanity
The bee eats only what is good and pure
(unlike the fly which will stand on filth)
We should only pursue what is good and pure.
This refers to good friendships, halal jobs, and
healthy food that we put into our bodies.
The bee takes but doesn’t break.
It sits softly on the flower and takes from it but does
not disturb or destroy it in the process.
On the contrary, when it eats, it produces more life.
We should take care to not hurt others or the
environment when we take what we need from
them.
On the contrary, humans are destroying the
environment and leaving behind so
much waste.
A bee will not go near a flower that was “claimed” by
a bee from a different hive.
Bees work together to reach their goals.
We should respect the property of those
around us, and help others to reach their goals.

BEES FLAP THEIR
WINGS 11,000/MINUTE
TO CONTROL THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE
IT AT 92-93 DEGREES
AT ALL TIMES.
THIS IS THE LOUD
BUZZ YOU HEAR!
Amazzzzing Bee Facts…..

Cross-pollination is
essential for plant
health.
Without bees, half the
plants would
disappear.
It is estimated that
humans could not
survive for more than
4 years if bees

It’s amazing that an insect the size of a thumbnail is
so remarkable!
Who taught it what to do?
Who programmed it to work as it does?
Its creation is a benefit to us, but also a miracle to
ponder over Allah’s creation and be humbled by his
unique design.

THE ANT
-
• Ants are capable of carrying objects approximately 30
times their own body weight with their mandibles (jaws).
• Relative to their size, their muscles are thicker than those
of larger animals or even humans.
• We humans are god’s best creation, and at times it feels
like we have troubles that weigh us down, but if we take
the ant as an example, then we can find the inner
strength, collectively, to get past the hurdles we face.
For each human on Earth there are 1.5 MILLION
ants. There are 12,000 species of ants on Earth

TEAMWORK makes the dream work.
This could never be more true than with the ant. As we
have mentioned, they can lift some serious weight, but
what is more impressive, is the way in which they can
work together to achieve great feats. Ants can join arms
to create a living raft to facilitate movement across the
water and protect their queen!
They create bridges with their
bodies to cross over from one
surface to another

“When the army approached the ant colony, a “female
ant warned: oh ants, take shelter in your homes so
that Sulieman and his army do not “shatter” you by
mistake!”
This Ayah (revealed 1400 years ago) tells us 3
things about ants that had not been discovered
until recently:
MIRACLE #1:
In 2009, Scientists who were studying
butterflies accidentally discovered that ants DO
have a language of their own!
Surat Al Naml mentions the story of
Prophet Sulieman as he is marching
with his army.

MIRACLE #2
Scientists discovered that the Queen ant is the leader
responsible for protecting her colony.
This is exactly how the Quran mentioned that the female ant
called out to her colony to protect them.
MIRACLE # 3:
Scientists now know that due to the skeletal
structure of the ant, when it is stepped on, it is shattered
rather crushed.
This is the exact description used by Allah in the Ayah above.
The queen did not say : “they will smash us/ they will crush
us.” She said: “ they will shatter us”
Allah’s words are exactly on point.

Prophet Suliman, the King of Bani Israel,
heard this ant warn her colony.
He stopped an entire army that was on
their way to an important war.
He stopped this mission to wait for the
ants to move out of their path.
This is a lesson about kindness to
animals.
His response to hearing this ant speak was that he
smiled and thanked Allah for giving him this
beautiful gift.
This is a duaa that will be recited by all Muslims
until the Day of Judgment.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING, ANTS ARE
THE MOST SIMILAR CREATURES
TO HUMANS
• They have highly organized societies-colonies
• They live in groups and work together to solve problems
• They cooperate in searching for food and taking care of
the queen ant.
• They divide work based on the age of the ants.
• They communicate by “talking” by leaving chemical trails.
• They have funerals/morn for their dead for days before
burying them!
• SUBHAN ALLAH!
Interesting
Ant Facts…

BENEFITS OF ANTS
• *Their tunnels aerate the soil, allowing water and nutrients to flow
to plant roots, helping them grow.
• *In the process of collecting food, they help distribute seeds and
pollinate plants.
• *Their excretions (waste) change the chemistry of the soil for the
better.
• *They are decomposers- they eat organic waste, insects or other
dead animals. They help keep the environment clean. ...
• Ants are Allah’s natural vacuum!

The
Spider
Why is Allah (S) talking about spiders
and their homes?
In this Ayah, Allah gives an example to
the idol worshippers of Mecca who
worshipped gods other than Allah.
The idol worshippers thought those
Gods would help them and provide for
them.

They created different idols that served
different purposes:
- An idol they prayed to when they wanted
rain
- An idol they prayed to when they wanted
more wealth
- An idol they prayed to when they were
sick and wanted to be cured.
- An idol of fertility they prayed to when
they wanted to have more children.
- Travel idols they took with them to
protect them on long journeys.

In this Ayah, Allah (S) is using the spider as an
example to show the people of Quraysh that all
their Gods are powerless.
He compares them to the house of the spider,
which is the weakest house of all.
It is weak both physically and spiritually, as we
will see!
By clinging to those Gods they are like a person
who holds on to a spider’s web and does not
gain any benefit from it.
Muslims hang on to the what will save them, to
the strongest rope of Allah:
The one that never breaks because of its
strength and stability.
But how could
something they
created with their
own hands benefit
or protect them in
any way?

MIRACLE #1:
The spider is mentioned in the
female pronoun: ‘it’takhathat
baytan”:
“She built the home”
It’s a scientific fact that the female
is the one that spins the web… the
male spends most of his life
travelling and rarely ever builds a
home for himself.
MIRACLE #2:
When the ant and bee are mentioned in the Quran,
they are referred to in plural form because ants and
bees live in communities and work together.
However, when Allah mentions the spider, He refers
to it in the singular form – because spiders live a
solitary life,
(except when mating) . Spiders don’t work together,
or live together. They do not share a web.
Look at how
accurate the
Quran is!

1. PHYSICALLY WEAK:
The spider’s house is such an amazing creation, but physically, it is
the weakest house of all.
It is made out of delicate silk threads.
These threads are interwoven, leaving large separating spaces at
most times.
Therefore, they do not protect from the heat of the sun, or the
extreme cold.
These threads do not
form adequate shade,
nor protect from the
rain, storming winds,
or the dangers of
attackers.

2.Spiritually weak:
The spider’s house, spiritually speaking, is the flimsiest of all
houses,
because it is deprived of all love and kindness, which are the
pillars of
any happy home.
The female, in some types of spiders, kills the male as
soon as the fertilization takes place.
Being larger in size and more violent, the female kills the male
and eats its body.
In some cases, the female eats its youngsters mercilessly!!

In some types of spiders, the female dies after
fertilizing its eggs, which are usually fostered
in a silk bag.
When the eggs hatch, spiderlings come out to
find themselves in a very crowded place inside
the eggs bag. The siblings then start to fight
for food, space or both. The brother kills its
brother and sister, and the sister kills its sister
and brother, until the fight ends with a few
spiderlings remaining.
This makes the spider’s house the most
violent and ruthless house, lacking all forms
of love or connection.
For these reasons, Allah (S) uses the spider’s
home as an example in its weakness.
Spiderlings

The house of the spider isn’t just a place to live. It is a sticky net
which is a trap for flying insects such as flies. These insects are
the victims on which the spider feeds.
Similarly, anyone who trust in gods besides allah, are stuck in a
trap which leads them to their destruction in this life and the
next.
Some people lure other into these traps with alcohol and drugs,
which ruins their lives and their afterlives.
Just as spiders live alone in solitary, following our desires and
false gods will leave us feeling all alone, with no protector.

LOCUSTS
SURAT AL-ARAF AYAH 133:
ْ‫ال‬ َ‫و‬ َ‫د‬‫ا‬َ‫ر‬َ‫ج‬ْ‫ال‬ َ‫و‬ َ‫ان‬َ‫ف‬‫و‬ُّ‫الط‬ ُ‫م‬ِ‫ه‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ ‫َا‬‫ن‬ْ‫ل‬َ‫س‬ ْ‫ر‬َ‫أ‬َ‫ف‬

“So we sent upon them the flood, and locusts, and lice, and frogs, and blood as
distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.”
Locusts are mentioned as one of the 7plagues sent
to the people of Firone (The Pharoah) who rejected the
message of Musa (AS).

1. Severe Drought
2. Severe Flooding
3. Lice
4. Frogs invading the entire village
5. Water tuning to blood
6. Rijz: boils on their skin
7. Swarms of locusts eating all the crops
The
7
Plagues:

They will come out of the graves with their eyes
looking down, like a large swarm of locusts.
• This Ayah describes the people’s situation
on the Day of Judgement when everyone
will come out of their graves to be judged.
• Why does Allah (S) compare this scene of
humans to swarms of locusts? Why locusts?
1400 years ago, Allah said this about
locusts in Surat Al Qamar, Ayah #7:

•In the 20th Century, the use of micro
cameras taught us a great deal about
locusts.
•NASA satellite data was used to
identify desert locust colonies in
Africa. Scientists have discovered that
locusts behave as a single body!
• One swarm can reach up to 460
square miles long and wide, looking
like a dark cloud approaching. One
swarm can have up to 80 BILLION
locusts! Locusts are a nightmare to
farmers because they eat and destroys
all the crops in their path.

• The female locusts dig long tunnels underground.
• Each female lays up to 158 eggs.
• After 2 months, the larvae mature, hatch and
emerge in a large group. Some locusts live
underground in the dark for years and years before
emerging to the surface.
Where do all those locusts come from?

The Kuffar of Quraysh doubted that
mankind will be brought back to life
after dying and being buried in the
ground.
Why did Allah mention this to the people of Quraysh?

•The way locusts exist underground for so long, then
suddenly emergence in HUGE numbers (all at the same time)
resembles the resurrection of human beings on the Day of
Judgement.
• There is a similarity between the way we will all come out of
our graves and way the locusts all come out of the ground.
•The Quran made this comparison of billions of men and
women coming out of their graves at a time when these
technologies did not exist and scientists did not know about
locusts living underground.

THE
MOSQUITO
Surat Al Baqara, Ayah #26:
Indeed, allah doesn’t shy away from using the
example of a mosquito or what is above it. And
those who have believed know that it is the
truth from their lord. But as for those who
disbelieve, they say, “Why did Allah use this as
an example?"
What do you
think this Ayah
means?

- The Arabs were impressed with the Quran
when it spoke of big animals. When Allah (S)
revealed a Surah describing the war horses,
they were impressed because they loved
horses.
- However, when Allah spoke of the fly and the
spider,
the disbelievers were not impressed. They
laughed at those Ayat.
If Allah is so great,
why
did he mention such
insignificant
creatures?
- They didn’t realize that even the smallest
creation is a miracle and a sign of Allah’s
existence. Let’s look at those miracles….

MIRACLE #1:
Note that the Ayah refers to the mosquito in the
female form.
Modern Science has discovered that only the
female mosquito sucks blood.
This is because she uses the protein from our
blood to nourish her eggs.)
Allah responded to their mockery
by revealing the Ayah:
“Allah does not shy away
from
using the example of a
mosquito
and what is on top of it.”

MIRACLE #2:
After the invention of the electric
microscope (which magnifies by
400,000 X’s),
scientists have discovered hosts-
small mites- that live on the female
mosquito and take nutrition from her.

WHAT
MAKES
THE
MOSQUIT
O SO
AMAZING?
?
Mosquitos have what no
airplane has. They fly
using thermal reception.
They detect their
surroundings through
heat waves. They sense
heat since they can’t see
size or color. This
system helps the female
find her victims and
determine the best place
to lay her eggs.
The mosquito’s
“needle” has 47
sharp edges

The
mosquito’s
heart pumps
clear “blood”
forward and
backward
through the
body. The
mosquito’s
head has
hundreds of
lenses

She has a blood testing system.
Not all blood types suit her, so
she first takes a small sample,
then if the blood is the right type,
she sucks to her fill.
She has a system that dilutes
blood.
Our blood is too thick to go
through her needle, so she
dilutes it first.
The
female
mosquito
is an
amazing
creation
She has a sedation device which protects
her from being killed. She numbs you
while she sucks your blood. By the time
she is finished, the sedation wears off
and you slap at the itch.
By then she is long gone.

A Mosquito’s sense of smell
is 10,000 times greater than
that of humans- they smell
the CO2 we exhale from over
70 ft away!
Mosquitos flap their wings
600 X’s/Second.

– Mosquito legs have claws that
are used when they stand on
rough surfaces and hooks for
when they stand smooth
surfaces.
There are over 3,ooo species of
mosquitos.
The female lives for one month
and the males usually lives for a
week.

These creatures are anything but
insignificant. If the people of
Quraysh knew what we know
today about them, they would not
have mocked allah’s creation.
Allah speaks of such a small
creature to show us the
complexity of something that
weights approximately 5 mg but is
so complex.
(You need 200,000 mosquitos to
weight 1 lb!!)
“This is the creation of allah.
So show me what those other than
me have created. The disbelievers are
in great denial”
-Surat Luqman, Ayah 11

The Example of the Mosquito
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwZAk
y_KV_k

The
IN SURAT AL KAHF:
Allah described the “companions of the cave” as youth who were rightly guided.
They escaped an oppressive king who was forcing them to worship other than Allah.
They took refuge and hid in a cave.
Even though Allah does not mention the exact number of people, he does specifically
mention that they had a dog with them and that the dog was guarding the entrance of the
cave.
The story was not complete without the dog.
This detail was not mentioned by accident.
Every word in the Quran serves a purpose.
Do
g

– There are differences of opinion regarding
the permissibility of dogs. However, if they
were completely prohibited in Islam, Allah
would have made that clear in any one of the
5 Ayat in which they were mentioned.
– Dogs are allowed to be used for all types of
benefits.
– We are encouraged to make use of Allah’s
creations, just as those righteous youth of
the cave had a dog as their companion and
guardian.
“They ask you, [O Muhammad], what has been made
lawful for them. Say, "Lawful for you are [all] good foods
and [game caught by] what you have trained of hunting
animals which you train as Allah has taught you. So eat of
what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allah
upon it, and fear Allah.”
EXAMPLE:
It is OK to use trained dogs for hunting, as
mentioned in Surat Al-Maidah, Ayah #4.

EXAMPLE:
Service Dogs are beneficial in helping
the disabled, such as guiding the blind
or deaf.
Some dogs, called seizure-alert dogs,
are used by individuals who have
constant seizures.
Trained dogs can sense the seizure
before it comes and alert the owner so
they prepare themselves and do not
get injured.

So why do Muslims keep away from owning dogs
as pets, but they keep cats and other animals??
The Prophet said:
“Angels do not enter a home in which there is a dog…”
This is why it is best to keep them outside.
Angels do not like places where there is no cleanliness and no purity.
Dogs are not very clean animals.
They do not clean themselves after they relieve themselves, and they can not stop
themselves from panting.
This affects the Tahara (purity) of one’s home. One of the requirements for prayer is that
our body, clothes and place of prayer are pure. The urine and feces (and in some opinions
-the saliva) of the dog are Najasa (impurities) and therefore we risk the perfection of our
prayer when dogs are present in our space. There is no problem keeping a dog as a
service dog/guard dog/hunting dog, but it is best to keep them outside/keep them in an
isolated space so they do not roam around the home spreading najasah.

This may be due to the type of bacteria in a
dog’s saliva, but we do not know the exact
reason.
Allah knows best why dog saliva is considered
different than that of other animals.
In all cases, if there is doubt in any Islamic
The Prophet said:
“The purification of a utensil belonging to you
after it is licked by a dog, is to wash 7 times, once
with sand.

AND [HE WAS TOLD], "THROW DOWN YOUR STAFF." BUT WHEN HE SAW IT
WRITHING AS IF IT WAS A SNAKE, HE TURNED AND RAN AND DID NOT RETURN.
[ALLAH SAID], "O MOSES, APPROACH AND FEAR NOT. INDEED, YOU ARE SAFE.”
The snake is referenced several times in the Quran in connection
to Prophet Musa (AS) and his famous staff.
The staff turning into a snake was one of his miracles to the
Pharaoh of Egypt.

– The snake has held
various meanings
throughout history,
but for the Egyptians
(the people of Musa) it
was viewed as a
representation of
royalty and deities.
-Firone’s sorcerers knew how to
create chemical reactions that
allowed pieces of rope to move,
mimicking slithering snakes. In
response, Allah allowed Musa’s
staff to turn into a REAL snake
that ate all the other fake
snakes. When the sorcerers saw
this, they recognized it as a true
miracle, and instantly believed in
the message of Musa.

- Some snakes have over 200
teeth. The teeth aren’t used
for chewing but they point
backward to prevent prey
from escaping the snake’s
throat.

– The venom from a
Brazilian pit viper is
used in a drug to
treat high blood
pressure
-Most snakes are
not harmful to
humans.
Actually, they help
balance the
ecosystem by
keeping the
population of rats,

AMAZING SNAKE FACTSSSS…
• IN SOME SNAKE SPECIES, THE HEART IS NOT FOUND AT A FIXED POINT IN THE
BODY. INSTEAD, IT KEEPS ON MOVING AROUND IN ORDER TO MAKE ROOM FOR
A PREY WHEN IT IS SWALLOWED BY THE SNAKE.
- The word “cobra” means
“hooded.” Some cobras
have large spots on the
back of their hood that
look like eyes to make
them appear intimating
even from behind.
- Snakes smell with
their tongue.

BACTERIA?
THINGS THAT CAN BE USED FOR

The
Crow
“Then Allah sent a crow digging the ground, to show him how to cover his brother's corpse.
He said, "Woe to me! I was unable to be like this crow and bury my brother's corpse."
And he became full of regrets.
1400 years ago, Allah mentioned the crow in Surat Al- Ma’idah,
Ayah #31
Allah mentioned the crow in a murder story.
The crow was a ‘teacher’ who taught man how to bury the dead:

Both of them wanted to marry the same girl, who was very beautiful. They
did not know how to decide which one of them should marry her.
So their father, Prophet Adam, asked each one of them to give an offering
(sacrifice) to Allah.
And the one whose offering was accepted by Allah, would marry the girl.
On the other hand,
Qabeel kept the best
for himself and gave a
poor offering.
Habeel, whose
intentions were
good, chose the
best sheep from
his flock and gave
it as an offering to
Allah.
The story is a story of the two sons of P. Adam, Habeel and Qabeel.

Allah accepted Habeel's offering
because he gave the best of what he had.
His sacrifice was given with sincerity.
This meant that Habeel had Allah’s
permission to marry the girl.

Qabeel was jealous that his brothers’
sacrifice was chosen over his.
Instead of focusing on himself, and
worrying about Allah’s pleasure, he
focused on Habeel’s acceptance.
He threatened his brother that he
was going to kill him.
I will surely kill you
Allah only accepts
from those who
fear him
If you raise your hand against me to
kill me, I won’t raise my hand against
you to kill you.
I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds.

It was the 1st time that anyone had ever killed another person.
It was the 1st time any human being had ever died, so Qabeel did
not know what to do with the dead body.
He carried it on his shoulders and wandered around helplessly.
Qabeel’s jealousy grew like a poison in his heart, and he followed through with the threat.
He committed the ultimate crime- he killed his own brother.

Seeing this, Qabeel admitted that he was not
even as intelligent as that crow, who taught him to
bury the dead body of his brother Habeel.
He then dug a grave for his brother Habeel and
buried him in it.
Then Allah sent two crows who fought in front of
Qabeel. One of them was killed.
The other dug a hole in the ground and placed
the body of the dead crow into it covering it with
Earth.

After the first murder on earth was committed by Qabeel, Allah (S)
taught us an important lesson:
“…whoever kills a soul, without [its being guilty of] murder or
corruption on the Earth, it is as though he had killed all mankind,
and whoever saves a soul it is as though he had saved all mankind.”
(Quran, Chapter Al-Ma’idah; 5: 32)
The murdered brother earned forgiveness for his sins and was
admitted into Paradise, while the murderer failed and earned
Allah’s anger.

More Lessons from the Story of Habeel & Qabeel
The Prophet (S) said:
“Anytime a human being is killed
unjustly, part of the
responsibility for the crime
belongs to the first son of Adam
(Qabeel) who invented the
tradition of killing on the earth”
(Sahih al-Bukhari).
This means that anytime we invent
or encourage a sin, we get bad
deeds every time people copy us
and commit that sin!
Humans were created
inherently good.
They were created to love
and have mercy, but then
learn evil and hatred with
the help of Shaytan.
Even Shatan himself was
not created evil. He
consciously chose to be
so.

More Lessons from the Story of Habil & Qabil
Beware of Jealousy!
The reason why Shaytan went from being a good Jinn, to
being a cursed Jinn, is because of the jealousy he felt
towards the creation of humans.
When the Angels heard of this creation, they were confused.
So they asked Allah questions about His decision. They
accepted His wisdom.
Shaytan didn’t do that.
He started being “racist” against this new creation.
His jealousy and thinking he is better than others is what will
cause him to go to Jahannam….
I’m better than him!
The inventor
of jealousy

For a long time people thought that birds were unintelligent creatures, but
scientists now declare that the crow, in specific, is a very intelligent bird.
Its level of intelligence can be compared to that of a 7-year-old child.
Crows are the only non-primates that can make new tools.
In addition to using sticks as spears and hooks, crows will bend wire to make
tools, even if they have never encountered wire before.
They watch what we do and learn from us.
Crows have been seen to drop nuts in traffic lanes, so the cars will crack them
open. They will even watch traffic lights, only retrieving the nut when the
crosswalk sign is lit.
The Crow’s
Intelligence

Just like humans, crows mourn their dead.
They surround the corpse and continue to squawk loudly.
Scientists have observed that crows later avoided the
territories where dead crows had been found.
When Allah sent an animal to teach Qabeel a lesson, He
did so using the most intelligent bird.
Crows have been known to memorize
restaurant schedules and garbage days,
to take advantage of prime scavenging
times.

THE WHALE
The whale is mentioned in the Quran in relation to the story of
Prophet Yunus.
P.Yunus Ibn Matta is nicknamed in the Quran as ‫الحوت‬ ‫صاحب‬ and was
the 1st Prophet mentioned in the Quran.
His story was mentioned in 5 Suwar: Yunus, Al- Saffat, Al- Tur,
Al- Anbiyaa and Al-An3am.
Allah (S) sent this Prophet to Naynawah (present day Iraq).
The people there were worshiped idols.
He continued to call them to the worship of Allah, reminding them
of the terrible wrath of Allah that was directed at Ad, Thamud and
the people of Nuh.

He boarded a small passenger ship with the
intention of travelling as far away from his
people as possible. The ship travelled
through the calm waters during the day; but
as the night closed in, a storm raged on
rocking the ship wildly.
The crew and passengers began to fear for
their lives as the sea water gradually began
flooding into the deck, slowly sinking the
ship.
The people kept rejecting him, so P.
Yunus gave up on them and fled the
city without the permission of
Allah(SWT).

The Captain ordered his men to throw the luggage overboard to lighten the
ship’s load, but the ship continued to sink as it was still too heavy
The Captain was left with no choice—he had to sacrifice the life of one man to
save the rest. He decided to draw lots to choose the passenger to be sacrificed.
The lots were cast and Prophet Yunus’s name was selected.
The men knew that Yunus was a righteous, honest and a blessed man, so they
refused to throw him out and agreed to draw lots again.
The lots were cast a second time, and Yunus’s name appeared again.
The men refused to throw Yunus saying, “We are not going to get rid
of Yunus. He is our blessing on the boat. He is the best man we have
on the boat; we are not going to get rid of him.”
The lots were cast a third time, and Yunus’ named appeared yet
again! The men were baffled, but Prophet Yunus knew that this was
the verdict of Allah for he had left his people without his Allah’s
permission.
P. Yunus jumped out of the ship into the dark, angry waves in the
middle of ocean…… right into the mouth of a whale…

Imagine being in the situation of Prophet Yunus:
As far as the eye can see is water and you are in the middle of it.
In the middle of nothingness, pitch black darkness all around you.
You have no form of technology with you.
If you screamed, no one could hear you.
No one knows you are here or if you are even alive.
You are surrounded by all the creatures and beasts of the wide seas.
To make matters worse, a whale swallows you whole.
You are now inside the whale’s murky belly, surrounded by the remains
of all the dead creatures it has eaten.
The stench of its intestines lurks around your nostrils as you struggle
to stand straight while covered in its saliva.
You can’t see anything.
Even if you were to somehow escape the belly of the whale, you would
be in the middle of the sea with nowhere to go and would most likely
drown anyway.
What would you do????

The Quran mentions exactly what P. Yunus did
while he was in this predicament.
He continued to repeat a duaa over and over
again in repentance to Allah for the mistake he
had made:
This duaa is one we should all keep close to our
hearts.
It is the duaa of the hopeless, when one has been
blinded by all the darkness in their life; this is the
duaa that provides the light for one who wishes to
see. To call out with the same words of P. Yunus in
all humility you yourself become the lantern.
“So then he cried out in the darkness:
'There is no one worthy of worship except for You, glory be to You, surely I have wronged myself.
We are encouraged to use this duaa when
we commit sins or need Allah’s help.
‫ن‬َ‫أ‬ ِ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬ُ‫ل‬ُّ‫الظ‬ ‫ي‬ِ‫ف‬ ‫ى‬َ‫د‬‫َا‬‫ن‬َ‫ف‬
ِ‫إ‬ َ‫ك‬َ‫ن‬‫ا‬َ‫ح‬ْ‫ب‬ُ‫س‬ َ‫ت‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬ َّ‫ال‬ِ‫إ‬ َ‫ه‬ٌ‫ل‬ِ‫إ‬ َ‫ال‬
ِ‫م‬ِ‫ل‬‫ا‬َّ‫ظ‬‫ال‬ َ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ ُ‫ت‬ْ‫ن‬ُ‫ك‬ ‫ي‬ِِّ‫ن‬
َ‫ين‬

“So then We responded to him (Yunus) and
saved him from the grief, and in this way,
We always rescue the true believers.
How Did
Allah (SWT)
Respond?
Prophet Yunus’ duaa was answered, and Allah
ordered the whale to take him to the shore and spit
him out.
P. Yunus had no protection against the sun and wind
so Allah commanded a tree to grow over him to
provide him with food and shade.
Allah forgave him and informed him that if it were
not for his sincere duaa, Yunus would continue to be
in the stomach of the whale util the Day of
Judgment. He was very sick, so Allah cured him and allowed
him to go back to his city.
He found that, by Allah’s grace, his people left idol
worshipping and continued to follow his teachings
until the day he died.

This story is an example to show us
that even in the darkest depths of the
ocean, Allah will hear our calls.
There is no situation that is impossible
for Allah to fix.
LESSON: Whatever you are going
through right now, whatever
darkness you are surrounded by,
if you look to Him, there is no
way Allah will leave you.

“The Giants
of the Ocean”
There are 90
species of whales
on Earth

A Blue Whale’s Heart
The blue whale's heart is huge. It's the largest heart in the
animal kingdom, weighing about 400 pounds -about the
same weight as a gorilla and roughly the size of a bumper
car.
As a blue whale dives to feed, its giant heart may only
beat twice per minute.

A Whale’s Tongue:
A blue whale’s tongue alone can weigh as much as an
elephant.
Whales are LOUD:
Whales are the loudest animals on the planet.
A jet engine is 150 decibels; the call of a whale reaches 230
decibels. Their language of pulses, groans, and moans can be
heard by others up to 1,000 away.

THE
DONKEY
(STORY OF UZAIR)
in Surat Al-Baqara and Surat At-Tawbah.
*Some scholars believe he was a Prophet of
allah(swt) who was sent to bani israeel after p.
Musa (AS).
*He was blessed with memorizing the Torah
and had good knowledge of aAllah’s
teachings.
.
The Babylonians destroyed Palestine and
killed
thousands from Bani Israeel.
Jerusalem became a ghost town.
Uzair was crossing across this city on his
donkey.
Uzair’s story happened at a time when
Bani Israeel began to leave the teachings
of Musa (AS).
This happened some time between P.
Suliman and P. Zakariyah

He took a break
under a tree to
eat a snack.
He though to
himself:
How could Allah bring back
life after death?”
To set an example, Allah made
him sleep there for 100 years!
When he woke up, he saw that his
donkey had turned to dust and
bones, but his food was fresh and
untouched.

He thought he had just taken a quick nap, but when he
walked around, he saw an entirely new city in the place
of the one that had been destroyed. Everything had
changed!!
Allah sent him an Angel in human form who asked him:
“How long have u slept?”
Uzair replied: “A day or half a day”
The angel replied: “No, you slept 100 years. Look at how your food
and drink is untouched, and look at your donkey which we will
make a miracle for the people”
In front of Uzair’s eyes, the donkey came

*LESSON*
If Allah can revive a dead animal and recreate
an entire village, why do people find it hard
to believe that Allah can revive us all on the
Day of Judgment ???
Nothing is impossible for Allah.
Surat Al-Baqara, Ayah #259
:
Like the one who passed by a city which was in ruins.
He wondered, “How could Allah bring this back to life after its
destruction?”
So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years then brought him
back to life. Allah asked, “How long have you been asleep?” He
replied, “Perhaps a day or part of a day.” Allah said, “No! You
have remained here for a hundred years! Just look at your food
and drink—they have not spoiled. Look at ˹the remains of˺ your
donkey! We have made you into a sign for humanity. And look at
the bones ˹of the donkey˺, how We bring them together then
clothe them with flesh!”
When this was made clear to him, he declared, “Now I know that
Allah is Most Capable of everything.”

When he arrived, he saw that everything had
changed.
The people had started following the rule of
the Persian King who rebuilt their city.
They forgot all about the Torah (The Book Of P.
Musa) and only knew stories they had heard
from their parents and grandparents.
He did not recognize anyone, and nobody
recognized him. He kept telling them: “I AM
UZAIR”
They replied that they knew stories about a
man named UZAIR who had been the only
Uzair thanked Allah for the lesson and
continued his journey back home.

Uzair tried to tell these people HE is that pious man
from their stories, but nobody believed him.
Uzair kept insisting, so the people went to the
oldest woman in their city. She was 120 years old
and was 20 years old when Uzair had gone
missing. She had gone blind in her old age.
Allah gave Uzair a miracle so the people would
believe him. He allowed him to cure the woman’s
blindness.
When the woman was cured, she saw Uzair and
immediately recognized him.

The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah “,
Christians say, “Jesus is the son of Allah."
That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying
of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them;
how are they deluded?
Everyone began talking about the miracle that happened
to Uzair.
He began to teach the people about the rules of the Torah
and taught them about Allah (S).
Unfortunately, some of Bani Israel started saying Uzair
was the son of God because of the miracles surrounding
him!!
They did not follow the Torah and years later, the King of
Syria ordered that all Torahs be burnt, and P. Musa’s
Torah was lost.
This is why Allah sent down the Quran years later.
And this is why, today we do not follow the Torah.
It has been changed and is no longer the

The
Camel
"Do they not look at the Camels, how they were created?"
The camel is mentioned in Surat Al- Ghashiyah, Ayah #17.
* This Ayah mentions an animal that Allah (SWT) wishes us to examine and think about.
Allah (S) wanted the people of Quraysh to think about the way He created the camel for their use.
Without camels, they would not have been able to travel for long periods of time in the hot desert.
What’s so special about the camel??
It has very special characteristics that allow it to service us in dry climates and tough conditions:
The body structure of the camel protects it in the most severe circumstances…..

•Camels can survive for 3 weeks
without water, and for 8 days
without food. Its hump is made
of fat, and provides nutrition to
the animal.
The AmazingCamel…
•Camels can adjust their body
temperature to keep cooler
during the day and warmer
during the nights.
•Camels have very strong and
rubber-like lips that make it
easier for them to eat thorns
sharp enough to pierce
leather.
Like many creatures, the
camel was created with
many amazing characteristics
and then placed on Earth as a
sign of the excellence of the
Creator

•Camels can travel with a bulk of hundreds of
pounds on its back, which was a blessing for
desert travelers.
Travelers benefitted from their milk, which has
more nutrients than a cow’s milk.
•Camels have a very strong digestive system,
so they can eat almost anything be it
vegetation, meat, or bone, -- salty or sweet, a
camels stomach knows no limits.
Camels can even eat cactus with its needles!

•A camel’s knees are covered with a structure called "callus",
which is composed of skin that is very hard and thick.
When the camel lays down on the hot sand, this calloused
structure protects the animal from burning their skin!
•A camel’s feet are created to walk on all types of land:
Each foot has two toes that are connected together, creating a flexible
cushion. These toes can spread widely to make walking on sand
easier.
• The camel’s long neck enables the
animal to reach and feed on the leaves
of tall trees.

•A camel’s nostrils are amazing. They retain water
vapor which can be returned to the body when
necessary, but they can also be closed if there is too
much sand or wind blowing.
• A camel’s eye lashes are designed like two separate combs
clamping together. In case of danger, they are automatically
closed.
With this special design, even a single grain of sand is not let
into the eye.
Its nose and ears are also covered with long hairs for
protection from sand and dust.

For all these reasons, the Arabs call
the camel:
THE SHIP OF THE DESERT
A camel is called the ship of the desert because it can travel long distances
across the hot and dry sandy areas with no food and water for days
They carry goods and passengers across the desert as a ship does across the sea
They are able to withstand the loss of about one third of their body fluid
without danger

Where else is the
camel mentioned
in the Quran?

Surah Al-A’raf Ayah 40
Those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance, the gates of heaven will
not open for them. And they will not enter Jannah until the camel can pass through
the eye of the needle: That is Our payment for the oppressors.
This is an expression Allah uses to mean:
It’s not going to happen/It’s impossible.
This is similar to the saying: “When pigs fly”

In the Story of Prophet Saleh.
He was sent to the people of Thamud in Al-Hijr.
(Northern Saudi Arabia)
They carved elaborate homes and tombs into the mountains, and they became
arrogant in thinking they were indestructible.

Where else is the
camel mentioned in
the Quran?
They were idol worshippers.
Their community was run by 9
families who oppressed others
to stay in power

They mocked Prophet Saleh when he
told them he was sent to teach them
about the One true God.
They asked Prophet Saleh for a
miracle, so a live camel emerged
from the same mountains from which
they carved their homes.

from the well- otherwise they
would face a punishment from
Allah.

The townspeople saw this as a clear victory and
cheered loudly for the men.
They went on to slaughter the camel and eat her
meat. When Saleh heard of this, he hurried to
warn the people, but it was too late.
The people mocked him saying,
“O Saleh, bring us what you promise us, if you are
telling the truth”

The disbelievers (with the support of all the disbelievers in
town, nine men (one from each family) had a meeting in
which they decided to kill the camel together
Let’s kill the

The entire tribe of Thamud was destroyed!
Only the believers were saved.
Everyone was struck dead by a horrific &
loud sound! Their strong buildings could
not protect them.

The Hoopoe Bird
(Hud Hud)
The Hud-Hud is mentioned in Surat Al-Naml
when Allah (S) tells the story of Prophet Suliman.

Prophet Suliman
was a King with
many powers
granted by Allah (S).
He could control the wind.
He was the first man to travel by air.
He could travel a month’s journey with the
quick blow of the wind.
He could control the Jinn.
They followed his every command, including
building him a palace like no other- one that was
built on top of water!!

ۖ
ۖ ٌٌ۬‫ر‬ۡ‫َہ‬‫ش‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ُ‫ح‬‫ا‬ َ‫و‬

P. Suliman was given an army that consisted of men, Jinn and animals.
Allah granted him the miracle of understanding and communicating
with the animals. He had many birds under his power that he used for
sending letters to other Kingdoms and collecting news.
The birds would fly to the neighboring lands and bring P. Suliman any
news they could gather.
This made him the most powerful man to walk the Earth.
He had all these creatures at his command by Allah’s will.

One day P. Suliman was
inspected his army of
birds, and realized the
hud hud was missing.
The hud hud didn’t just give P. Suliman the important
news, but he gave a complete analysis of how the people
were deluded by Shaytan.
P. Suliman ordered the hud hud to return to this woman
with a message from him.
The hud hud arrived with news of Balqees,
the Queen of Saba.
The hud-hud reported that Balqees was a
wise and powerful leader, who sat on a
great throne, but that she and her people
worshipped the Sun.

P. Suliman ordered the hud hud to return to Queen
Balqees and give her a message calling her to stop
worshipping the Sun, and instead worship the One
who created it!
Balqees read the letter and discussed it with her
advisors.
They were afraid that King Suliman meant them
harm. Not wanting to start a war with such a
powerful leader, Balqees sent her messengers to
Suliman with many expensive gifts.

When P. Suliman saw the gifts, he became angry and
asked Balqees’ messengers:
“Are you trying to bribe me? What Allah has given
me is so much better than your gifts”
ُ ّ
‫ٱّلل‬ َ‫ۦ‬ِ‫ن‬‫ٮ‬َ‫ت‬‫ا‬ٍَ ٓ‫ا‬َ‫م‬َ‫ف‬ ٌٍ۬‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬ِ‫ب‬ ِ‫َن‬‫ن‬‫و‬ُّ‫د‬ِ‫م‬ُ‫ت‬َ‫أ‬ َ‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫ق‬
‫م‬ُ‫ك‬‫ٮ‬َ‫ت‬‫ا‬ٍَ ٓ‫ا‬ّ‫م‬ِ‫م‬ ٌٌ۬‫ر‬ۡ‫َي‬‫خ‬
He sent the gifts back to Saba
and sent the messengers
back to invite Balqees to
come meet with him.
The Messengers returned to Saba and
described the amazing palace and armies
of Suliman and advised Balqees to go
meet with him.

Meanwhile P. Suliman had come up with a plan to
show Balqees a miracle.
He had a meeting with all his soldiers.
He asked them all: “Which one of you can bring me
Balqees’ throne before she arrives here?”
Sulaiman wanted Balqees to see a miracle before her
own eyes.
A powerful Jinn responded: “I’ll bring it to you
before you can blink your eyes!”
َ‫ك‬ۡ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬ِ‫إ‬ ّ‫د‬َ‫ت‬ ۡ

َۚ‫ك‬ُ‫ف‬ ۡ
‫ر‬َ‫ط‬
In an instant Balqees’ throne
appeared in front of Suliman.

She was even more amazed when
she saw her throne- the one she
left behind- right here in front of
her.
She realized there is a great power in front of her-
much greater than her own. Everything she had was
nothing compared to what Suliman had!
َ‫م‬ ُ‫ت‬ ۡ
‫م‬َ‫ل‬ۡ‫س‬َ‫أ‬ َ‫و‬ ‫ى‬ِ‫س‬ََۡ‫ن‬ ُ‫ت‬ ۡ‫م‬َ‫ل‬َ‫ظ‬ ‫ى‬ِ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬ ِ‫ب‬ َ‫ر‬ ۡ

‫ّلل‬ َ‫ن‬‫ـ‬َ‫م‬ۡ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬ُ‫س‬ َ‫ع‬
َ‫ين‬ِ‫م‬
How did my throne
get here?!
Balqees arrived after a long journey and
was amazed when she walked into the
palace built on water.
My Lord! I have certainly
wronged my soul. Now I
submit myself along with
Suleiman to Allah, the
Lord of all worlds.

When the Queen submitted to Islam, her entire
army submitted with her.
And when she returned to her Kingdom, she taught
her people about Allah and her entire Kingdom
accepted Islam as well.

THINK ABOUT THIS:
Even though we can not understand the language of the animals
like P. Suliman, we can derive from this story that all creatures on Earth
have their own language.
Animals have their own way of recording what WE humans do.
A pet at home, a bird that flies overhead, a fly on the wall, an ant on the
ground...they are all witnesses for everything we do on Earth.
Angels aren’t the only ones that see what we do.
Just because animals don’t speak NOW, doesn’t mean
they can not speak against us on the Day of Judgment
and be witnesses for the things we did to disobey Allah (S).
Allah’s creatures are all forms of His surveillance.
He has full view of everything.

The Cow
Like all creatures of Allah, the cow is a
miraculous animal that was placed on this
Earth for our benefit.
Not only do we benefit from its labor and
meat, but also from its milk.
In Surat Al-Nahl, Allah describes how
contemplating the cow is a lesson for us.
Allah created milk for us to drink, and
that milk-which is full of nourishment-
comes from the cow’s belly. The milk
was kept clean and away from the
intestines and the blood of the cow.
SubhanAllah, how Allah created a factory

The cow is also mentioned in Surat Al-
Baqara in reference to the story of Bani
Israel.
After Prophet Musa helped them cross the
Red Sea and escape Firone, they started a
new life in a new land.
P. Musa divided them into 12 tribes.
Among them lived a very wealthy man
who had one nephew- his only
inheritor. The nephew killed his uncle
in order to take his wealth and blamed
it on one of the other tribes.
A huge revenge war was going to break
out among the tribes if the killer was
not pin-pointed.

Allah (S) told P. Musa to instruct the
people to slaughter a cow if they
wanted the killer to be revealed.
It was a very simple command.
They responded to him in a sarcastic
manner, indicating that they didn’t
believe slaughtering a cow would solve
their problem.
Even after they saw many miracles of P.
Musa with their own eyes, they still
questioned him.

They took this is a joke and mocked Allah:
“What is it? Go speak to your Lord to give us more info about this”
Imagine Musa’s embarrassment to go back to Allah and ask these
questions for them. He had just told them it was a cow and they were
asking what it is.
Musa came back with Allah’s words:

They said: “Ask your Lord what color should the cow be?”
Musa came back with instructions from Allah: “He replied
that it is a bright yellow cow, one that mesmerizes those who
look at it”
They again responded with mockery:
“Give us more information about what it is.”
(The last question they asked was the same as the first!)
This is what people do when they want to make fun of
religion.
They ask stupid questions even when they are given
simple, intelligent answers. They play dumb just for the
sake or argument.

P. Musa responded:
“It is a cow that has never been used for labor nor to till
the land, nor does it carry water. It has no deficiencies on
it (perfect)”
They responded:
“Now you have spoken the truth!” (sarcastically)
* These men kept asking questions until they made
Allah’s command extremely hard to obey.
* All they had to do was slaughter ANY cow, but now
they had to slaughter a cow that was neither too old, nor
too young, had never worked before, and was bright
yellow!!
How likely was it that a cow like that existed?

*The men spent a lot of time looking for that exact cow…
* They made things hard on themselves because of their
mockery.
After a long search, they found a young orphan who was living
with his mother. He owned a cow that was the source of their
livelihood. The cow was not too young or old, never been
worked, and was a perfect yellow with no spots or
imperfections. The men begged the orphan: “We need to buy
this cow!
The orphan responded: “No, I promised my mother not to sell it
because we need it to live off of.”
The men kept offering the orphan more and more money until
he couldn’t refuse the amount!
Some say they purchased the cow with its weight in gold!

* The men took the cow and slaughtered it.
* Musa ordered them to take part of the cow and touch the dead man
with it.
* They did so, and the man came back to life as a miracle from Allah.
* The man woke up and exposed his nephew as the murderer and Bani
Israel was saved from revenge wars between the tribes.

LESSON:
Bani Isreal had seen so miracles with their own
eyes- The snake of Musa, the hand of Musa, the
7 plagues, the splitting of the Sea, the raising of
the mountain, the water springs exploding from
the rocks - and yet they still continued to mock
Allah and make a mockery of Prophet Musa.
When Allah commands us to do something in the
Quran, we shouldn’t question Him and keep asking
questions that make life harder on ourselves.
We should trust His Judgment and obey.
Allah wants to make things easy for us but we like to
complicate them.

So are we not allowed to ask
questions?
We are supposed to ask initial questions until we
believe that Allah is the Lord, Muhammad is His
Prophet and the Quran is His book. Once we are
convinced of all that and accept it as truth, then we
shouldn’t ask WHY Allah did/said/chose so and so….
After we trust the One (we KNOW by conviction) is
the Creator and knows all, we should not have doubts
in his decisions.
Once we believe in Him, we should no longer ask
WHY, rather, HOW AND WHEN AND WHERE…

in the World.
Almost 2,000 quarter pound
hamburgers can be made from the
ground beef of 1 cow.
Cows can smell things

A cow will chew for up

Cows might not seem like they

can swim. Cows will wade into
ponds and lakes to cool down
and escape from insects in the
summer.

The
Elephant
The elephant is
mentioned in Surat Al-Fil
where Allah (S) describes
the events that happened
the year the Prophet (S)
was born:
“The Year of the
Elephant”
In the same year as the birth of the Prophet (S), there
lived a Christian King named Abraha.
He was the ruler of Yemen.
At the time, most trade was going
through Mecca because the Arabs
considered the Kaaba to be Holy.
Mecca

Abraha felt envious because all the trade was
going to Mecca.
He decided to build a massive Church to lure
people to his kingdom.
His intention was to take the attention and
trade away from Mecca and bring it to
Yemen.

After the Church was built, Abraha was
upset to see that nobody was flocking to
Yemen.
Because his plan didn’t work, he
gathered an army of 60,00 soldiers and
made his way to Mecca to destroy the
Kaaba.
He took an army of elephants
with him. The Arabs of Mecca
were not familiar with these
large animals and they were
frightened by their size.

* Some of the people of Mecca evacuated the city and hid in
the mountains when they heard about the approaching army.
*Abraha arrived to Mecca and asked to speak to the leader of
Quraysh.
The leader at the time was Abdul-Muttalib (the Prophet’s
grandfather)
Don’t you want to protect
your kaaba?
The Kaaba has a Lord
and he will take care
of it.

Abraha’s army continued the march
towards the Kaaba, but when the army
got close, the elephants refused to
move forward.
Allah ordered the elephants to stop.
Abrha and his army felt that something
was not right.

Suddenly the sky became black as hundreds of birds filled the sky,
flying towards the Kaaba.
Each bird was carrying a pebble from Jahanam.
Each stone was pre-programmed by Allah to hit a specific target.
The pebbles shot at their targets with such force, as to enter the
body and come out of the other side.

So he left them like chewed up straw.
Allah saved his house, protected the
people of Mecca, and destroyed the evil
plan of Abraha and his army.

40 years after the people of Mecca saw
this miracle, they were asked to believe
that Muhammad (S) was a Prophet.
After seeing assassin birds covering the
sky, and after witnessing Allah wiping
out an entire army, why was it so hard
for the Meccans to believe in the miracle
of the Quran??

Elephant Facts that make
you say “SubhanAllah”
Elephants Can Eat Up to 300 lbs of Food
Every Day!
To compare, the average adult human
only eats around 3-5 lbs of food per day.
Yes, that means that an elephant can eat
around 100 days worth of your food in
just one day!

Elephants Have Ears Shaped
Like Continents!
The African elephant has ears that
look like Africa.
And the Asian elephant has ears that
look like the continent of India!

Elephants Weigh The Same As A Car
or Two!
The African elephant weighs 8800-15,400
tons, while Asian elephants come in at a
slightly smaller 6600-13,200 tons!
To compare, the average car only weighs
around 4000 tons

Elephants, particularly African elephants,
live in tough climates, where it’s hot, and
water is often scarce. Allah allowed them to
manage these harsh conditions by creating
them with a thick skin!
And because elephants have no glands with
which to sweat and cool down, the wrinkles
in the skin help to retain water to keep
them cool.
They also take good care of their skin, taking
regular mud baths to keep it clean, hydrated,
and protected.
