In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the Night and the Day; in the sailing of the ships through the Ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth; (here) indeed are signs for a people that are wise.” Holy Qur’an (Baqarah 2:164) “There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you.

Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.” Holy Qur’an (An‘am 6:38) “There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance depends on Allah: He knows the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear Record.” Holy Qur’an (Hud 11:6) “See you not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth,--the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind?” Holy Qur’an (Hajj 22:18) “See you not that it is Allah whose praises all beings in the heavens and on the earth do celebrate, and the birds (of the air) with wings outspread?

Each one knows its own (mode of) prayer and praise.” Holy Qur’an (Nur 24:41) “…There is not a thing but celebrates His praise; and yet you understand not how they declare His glory!” Holy Qur’an (Isra‘ 17:44) “And cattle He has created for you (men): From them you derive warmth, and numerous benefits, and of their (meat) you eat.

And you have a sense of pride and beauty in them as you drive them home in the evening, and as you lead them forth to pasture in the morning.” Holy Qur’an (Nahl 16:5-6) “And (He has created) horses, mules, and donkeys, for you to ride and use for show; and he has created (other) things of which ye have no knowledge.” Holy Qur’an (Nahl 16:8) “It is He Who sends down rain from the sky: From it ye drink, and out of it (grows) the vegetation on which ye feed your cattle.
