Allah Almighty gave many graces for His creatures, even in the deep oceans, let us read and glorify God ….
When Prophet Moses went to the pharaoh calling him to believe in Allah, the pharaoh asked him who is Allah. Then Moses replied :( Our Lord is He who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright.)(Sûrat Tâ-Hâ- verse50).Those words were enough for the pharaoh to believe in Allah but the pharaoh did not understand. In these words there are great miracles as everyday scientists discover unknown creatures for us and also they discover that the systems of these creatures couldn’t be developed by it, but there is a precise program controlling everything inside.
The most amazing things I have ever saw are some living organisms in the deep oceans (thousands kilometers under the sea) as God be He exalted had supported these creatures by complicated systems to release rays of light!! In 8000 meter under the ocean there is a fish that human didn’t know anything about only few years ago.
God created this amazing fish, inside the body many chemicals reactions occur which leads to releasing light from it. Despite the water pressure at that point as it is 800 times the air pressure! This means that on each centimeter in its body there is a pressure up to 800 kilogram!!
The question is, how can this little fish bear that huge pressure? Who fit it to live in that depth and darkness? And who exploits the suitable livelihood to feed it?
It has no lighting system, it doesn’t wear any special suit as a protection from pressure and it has no special system to avoid the cold water. The only thing it has got is small brain which contains the needed program to guide it in its way in the deep oceans.
This biological lighting occur due to some reactions inside the fish, as some atoms integrate with oxygen and calcium atoms, and because of that integration the electrons move from the inner orbit to the outer orbit in the atom to release the light photons.
Allah Almighty didn’t forget these creatures whom are living eight thousand meter under the ocean, how can He almighty forget a man say “there is no God but Allah”?
Here we can say that the Qur’an told us about these creatures which are supported by light in a nice sign. He said:(Or [the state of a disbeliever] is like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with waves topped by waves, topped by dark clouds, (layers of) darkness upon darkness: if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light.)(Sûrat an-Nûr- verse40).
Despite these darkness which is similar to the deeds of disbelievers but Allah had lighted the way for these creatures under the water in the darkness, so He said :(And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light.)(Sûrat An-Nûr- verse 40) as if He be blessed and exalted wants to tell us that He gave the lighting ability to some of His creatures. Don’t we look attentively at these words to understand miracles of Allah? And to accept and understand His orders as if we do, indeed Allah will give us the light to light up our way in this world which is full of darkness of atheism and the Ignorance of God .
The pharaoh refused the “calling for truth”, so can we accept it?
Allah be He blessed and exalted is the creator of everything, we ask Him to guide us to the straight way and to give us the light in the darkness of this era.
O’ God give the light of the holy Qur’an to our hearts
