As for the wind...

As for the wind, without its blowing, the changes in weather and seasons would not occur and harvests would suffer." Hazrat Sulaiman concurred with these views. But those four creatures turned out to become the enemies of the bat. The sun said that wherever I see it, I shall burn its wings and hair. The water said I shall drown it. The wind-said I shall destroy it and the snake vowed to poison it wherever it was found.

The bat prayed to Allah complaining that it was a weak creature to be able to survive in face of these four enemies. What it said afterall only the truth about the nature of things as created by Him. The bat was assured of full protection from Allah. There is no doubt that whosoever entrusts his problems to and relies on Him, he receives His blessings and protection. To protect it from the sun, the bat was made to see and fly only at night and unable to see and come out during the day.

It was created independent of water. It has been supplied with two glands in the chest, one full of water and the other with milk so that it could suck from its own chest whenever it felt thristy. The faeces of the bat has been made poison for the snake. Thus the snake never attempts to go near the bat as the very strong smell of its faeces is also harmful. This shows how Allah protects those who speak the truth and pray for His protection. Allah does not desert those who rely on Him.

In this world of ours, God Almighty has created countless varieties of animals. Scientists have divided them into different classes according to their external features and characteristics. Among these different classes of animals, one group is known as MAMMAL. Mammals are warm-blooded animals which have hairs on their bodies. They give birth to children and suckle them. The have four limbs and have their teeth fixed in sockets in the jaw.

An exceptional kind of mammal is the BAT, they are the only animals that can fly. Bats are said to be found in all countries and climates except in the polar regions. The greatest number of these are found in the tropics where climate is generally warm. Those that live in colder climates migrate to warmer countries. It is said there are at least 2000 species - varieties of Bats existing in this world. In general, they can be divided into two main groups: the fruit eaters and the insect eaters.

There are others which feed on meat, fish, nectar and blood. A bat's wings are different from those of birds.
