The existence of matter, motion and life testify that there is God, but the magnitude and magnificence of creation, announced the same grand truth: the work as they say, reveals the Workman.
He said: “Our Lord is He Who gave to each(created) thing its form and nature, and further gave it guidance. (Qur’an 20:50.
And it is He Who spreads out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and (flowing) rivers; and
fruits of every kind and He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the Night as a veil over the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider( Qur’an 13:3).
We owe a lot to scientific investigations and documentaries of the enquiries to be able to appreciate the many wonders of creation; all of which tend to add to our appreciation of the wonders of God and the incomprehensibilities of his awesome Powers.
Various creatures exhibits characteristics and features which stupifies any observer of nature. From the wonders of the gnat to how the mighty whale breathes in the mighty ocean, or the marvels of the spider’s web and the lizard that walks on water. Walking on water is regarded by many as the exclusive preserve of Jesus; but we are wrong.
There are few animals that Allah has endowed with the ability to walk on water. One such rarity is the Basilisk Lizard, which lives in Central America. Thanks to super speed and specially designed feet, the Basilisk Lizard can run on water….an ability that makes it deadly to insects, and has led people to call it the ” Jesus Christ Lizard. Subhanallah.
