Documentary - Love and cooperation in living things

CONCLUSION

The animals mentioned in this websishare devotion, altruism, compassion and care in common. Each of these species is protective, considerate and compassionate towards its young, its mate or some other animal; taking clever precautions for their safety, using smart solutions to help one another find food, and working like craftsmen to produce wonderful architectural structures.
However, it needs to be pointed out once again that the creatures mentioned-beetles, birds, frogs-do have simple brain structures, but would it be rational to expect them to show such intelligence and know-how and to behave the way they do?
Can a beetle or bird know compassion, mercy or selfless devotion?
Can an animal possess high moral values?
How can we explain that a penguin develops so strong a bond for its mate and young that it will risk its life for them?
Why do antelopes or zebras throw themselves between their young and the pursuing predators?
Each of these questions poses an insurmountable problem for the theory of evolution, which proposes that life was formed by chance from inanimate matter. Evolutionists claim that animals behave instinctively and that their instincts are programmed into their genes. But actually, this only adds to their dilemma, because it leads to the further question: Who has programmed their genes with these instincts of devotion, compassion, and the knowledge of building nests? How could such a program take shape suddenly in genes composed of lifeless elements like carbon and phosphate?
To such questions, evolutionists have no answers. To fill the void and to put up a smokescreen for those people who do not reflect sufficiently on these matters, they say only that Mother Nature placed these features into the genes of animals. We often read statements like "Nature gave animals the instinct to care for their young," or "Nature provided birds with the ability to build nests." But can nature possibly have such powers? What we call nature is the sum total of created things like trees, stones, rivers, mountains, water and earth. The question is, which part of it has the power, ability, knowledge and consciousness to bestow such features?
People who ascribe such creative powers to nature are really behaving according to the classic denial mentality of crediting nature with divinity. But nature itself is the totality of created beings. The Qur'an exposes those who ascribe divinity to helpless beings:
But they have adopted gods apart from Him which do not create anything but are themselves created. They have no power to harm or help themselves. They have no power over death or life or resurrection. (Qur'an, 25: 3)
From a rational, logical point of view, it is impossible for beings devoid of skill and reason to give to other beings qualities such as awareness, intelligence, knowledge, skills or any other mental faculty.
The truth is clear and open for all to see: God is most compassionate and most merciful, He is the Creator and Sustainer of all living things, and it is He Who makes animals' behavior devoted, compassionate and merciful.
The few examples of altruism, compassion and mercy cited in this website are the signs of our Lord's infinite compassion and mercy Who has created and sustains us and everything else. It is not an unthinking parent who decides to protect, feed and watch over a baby bird or young gazelle. God inspires these animals to protect and feed their young, which explains why they are so dedicated towards them, working day and night, even if it costs them their lives. Our Lord's compassion and mercy is not only for these beings, but also for everything else in the universe, including us humans. For this reason, intelligent people who reflect and see the truth remember God in the following way:
My Lord is the Preserver of everything. (Qur'an, 11: 57)
Say: "My Lord, forgive and be merciful! You are the Best of the Merciful." (Qur'an, 23: 118)

THE CAT AND ITS LOVEABLE FRIEND

Did you know that cats can see very well at night?

Cats need only a very little light in order to be able to see. Because cats’ eyes are created differently to ours. In the dark, their pupils grow as large and round as possible in order to let as much light in as possible. That enables them to see very clearly in the dark.

In addition, there is a layer in cats’ eyes that does not exist in ours. This lies immediately behind the retina. Light falling on it through the retina is reflected back onto the retina. This means the light passes through the retina twice. This means that cats can see very well in the dark, even when it is too dark for human beings to see at all.

It is Allah Who gives the cat these superior features. Allah describes how animals are created in another verse:

(It is He Who provides) animals for riding and for haulage and animals for slaughtering and for wool. Eat what Allah has provided for you and do not follow in the footsteps of Shaytan. He is an outright enemy to you. (Sura al-An’am, 142)

YOUNG PANDAS AT PLAY

We have all seen these animals that resemble giant toys. Did you know that these cute creatures eat nothing but bamboo? An adult panda eats 15 kilos of bamboo a day. That makes 6 tones of bamboo a year. That is why they eat every hour of the day.

Pandas have one very interesting characteristic. Look at your hands. You have five fingers. But pandas have an extra one. Our Lord, who makes all tasks easier, has made it easier for pandas to hold onto and eat their food by giving them an extra finger. In the Qur’an, Allah describes everything on Earth as a manifestation of His mercy, "So look at the effect of the mercy of Allah..." (Surat ar-Rum, 50) The panda is also a lovely animal created by Allah.

THE LYRE BIRD’S WONDROUS MIMICKRY

The lyre bird, which lives in Australia, takes its name from the fact that its tail resembles such an instrument when fully opened. In addition to wings that resemble those of the pheasant, the lyre bird is renowned for its ability to mimic sounds. In addition to other birds and animals, it can also imitate mechanical sounds such as car engines or horns. In this short film you can see how the lyre bird imitates mechanical sounds as well as those of other living things.

Seeing the clear proofs of Allah's existence

There are countless infinitely complex systems and delicate balances in the universe, in all of existence and all phenomena, from the human body to the sky, from animals to the depths of the oceans. Everyone who can think and reason sees that only God, with His superior power and intelligence, could have created these complex systems and delicate balances.
