Hummingbirds and Nectar

After all, is a bird capable of the conscious recognition that it will die if it uses its energy in a fruitless search for food in order to sustain its high metabolism? And can it then decide to improve its memory as a necessary solution to its problem? How does this tiny bird know exactly how long it takes for a flower to refill its supply of nectar, and furthermore, how does it know exactly which flower to return to and remember its flight pattern back to that flower? How does it differentiate between the different flowers?

Bats Teach Us about Safety

In the design of RoBat, other characteristics of bats were also considered to utilize the echoes in the best way possible. Bats move their ears to determine the frequency intervals of sound waves, and in this way they easily overcome the obstacles in front of them and find their prey and catch it. RoBat was also equipped with such ultrasonic detectors to have a perfect mechanism like that seen in bats.

The Mother-of-pearl and Damage Decrease

In the development of materials to be used in the production of strong impellers in jet engines, the mother-of-pearl’s structure is imitated. 95% of the mother-of-pearl on the inner layer of many shellfish’s shells is chalk, but mother-of-pearl is 3,000 times stronger than chalk thanks to its composite structure. When this structure is examined, it is seen that microscopic tablets, only eight microns (1 micron=10–6 meters) in width and one half of a micron in depth, are arranged as layers.

The Returning Sky

The word "rajaai" interpreted as "return" in Qur'an translations has meanings of "sending back" or "returning." As is known, the atmosphere surrounding the Earth consists of many layers. Each layer serves an important purpose for the benefit of life on Earth. Research has revealed that these layers have the function of turning the materials or rays they are exposed to back into space or back down to the Earth. Now let us examine, employing a few fitting examples, this "returning" function of the layers encircling the Earth.

Heavy Clouds in the Qur’an

The weight of clouds can reach quite astonishing proportions. For example, a cumulonimbus cloud, commonly known as the thunder cloud, can contain up to 300,000 tons of water. The fact that a mass of 300,000 tons of water can remain aloft is truly amazing. Attention is drawn to the weight of clouds in other verses of the Qur'an

Whoever Relieves a Believer!

The seller turned to the man and said, “By Allah, I am neither cheating nor deceiving you! It is only that this woman has four kids whose father has passed away. He left them nothing, absolutely nothing! They are poor though very chaste and self-dignified. She refuses to accept any sort of assistance from anyone. And, what I have just done was the only way I could have ever thought of as an indirect way to give her a hand.

The Garbage Truck Ruling

At that very moment, I was taught a lesson that I have never forgotten since then. Later on, I called this lesson, “THE GARBAGE TRUCK RULING”. The driver said: “Many people act as a garbage truck. They move around with a load of trash, different types of problems, depression, failure, anger, and disappointment. When the load becomes unbearable or exceeds the limit within their souls

Life of Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim

Because of their perception and opinions, both the teacher and the student were unjustly persecuted, tortured, and humiliated in public by the local authorities then, and they were imprisoned in a single cell, while other disciples were kept separate in the central prison of Damascus, still known to-date as al-Qal’ah. Among the imprisoned scholars, there also was a young man named Ibn Kathir who later on became as the most renowned Muslim scholar and compiler of the most comprehensive Qur’anic commentaries ‘Tafsir Ibn Kathir.’

Sumayyah Bint Khayyat

The first female martyr of Islam was a black slave in pre-Islamic Arabia. As we explore her story, one can’t help but wonder: What attracted her to Islam? How did she gather the indomitable courage to defy the norm and embrace change?
