This is the work of God<\/strong><\/p>\n

These creatures invite us to glorify the creator be he blessed and exalted and to remember this great verse:\u00a0(Allah has created every moving (living) creature from water. Of them there are some that creep on their bellies, and some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Verily Allah is Able to do all things.)<\/span>\u00a0(An- Nur \u2013 verse 45) .God has created all of these creatures for an aim and purpose not as a play.<\/p>\n

The weight of this blue whale is equal to 2000 man!! This creature glorify his creator, God says:\u00a0(The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.)<\/span>\u00a0(Al- Isra \u2013 verse 44) \u2026our great creator ensures livelihood of these creatures \u2026so, would he prevent livelihood of a man says: there is no God but Allah??!!!<\/p>\n
