All Praise is due to Allah: We Praise Him: We beg assistance of Him: We ask Him for forgiveness. We have faith in Him: We have reliance on Him.

We fly for refuge unto Him (to deliver us) from the mischief of our minds and from the evil consequences of our actions.

Whomever Allah directs shall not go astray: and whomever He allows to go astray, no one can guide.

We profess that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, and we further profess that Muhammad is His Servant and His Messenger.

Brothers and sisters in Islam Allah Tala tells us in the Quran in Surat Saad ayah 20:

(This is) a Book (the Qur'n) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember. (29) Therefore, as I have reminded myself first and then you before we must approach this book of Allah not only to read it for the blessing of it, but also for ponder, understanding, and ultimately Insha-Allah implement into our lives.
Sahabhas approach to the quran.

Ayah Has new of Overwhelming come to you

Jaa vs. Ataa

The scholars mention that Allah Tala has used the word Vs. Now the scholars mention that Allah Tala could have used 5 of 40 Like in Surat Naziat the means come to or arrive.

Document1 79 chapter from the Quran, ayah #34:

But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense)

So jaa-aht is used when describing that something enormous, huge, has a great magnitude, is very heavy has come. But is used when referring to something light

coming. So here Allah Tala is referring to the news of the day of the Judgment as

something light. Hearing about the news about something hard, something overwhelming is much lighter, much easier than when one is actually in it. So when Allah is talking about the actual event of the day of judgment then jaah-ah is used to describe it.

In one hadith a women was reading this surah, Rasullah happened to walk past her at that time. She read, this ayah Has the news come to you of the overwhelming day? Rasullah said, Yes, it has come to me and he used jaah-ah, not ataa-ah. So the even the news to Rasullah even the news of the day of judgment is very heavy? So my question to myself to Question format of First Ayah. and you do you and I are we affected by the news, reality of the day of judgment? The second point related to this ayah is the ayah is in a question format. What is the wisdom behind the stating in a question, Has the news of the day of Judgment come to you? Now before we see how the scholars have answered this question, first notice that after

, Allah Tala says the pronoun to you oh Muhammad SAW.

which mean you, Muhammad, has the news come

So why again why is this ayah in a question format? The scholars explain it by using an example or analogy of Principal, Teacher, and Students. So if the students fail a test, and the Principal comes and ask the teacher did they not get the study material? The Principal is not mad at the teach who did his job, the Principal is mad of the students. So the Teacher Rasullah SAW did his job, we got the news of the day of judgment if we fail

6 of 40

Document1 Allah will be angry at us, not at Rasullah for the failure. So Allah Tala is angry at those who prefer this life over the hear-after as when Allah says in the previous surah,

Also the question format makes a confirmation that Allah Tala did tells about the day of Judgment. Like when we ask our kids Did I not tell you to study? after their grades come in low. So again if we na-aouzi-billah fail then it is our fault, we have been sent, the perfect word the Quran, and the perfect example Rasullah for us to be successful on the day of the judgment. The word hadith means news and is in other places in the Quran, such as:

The word Hadith

The scholars mention that the would be used when you want to think about a news anew or timeless news. So the news of the judgment should never get old. We need to always keep it fresh in our minds, always thinking about it anew, so that we may never lose sight of its importance. The word means overwhelming, so heavy that it covers, it overwhelms and it is being used to describe the day of judgment. So Allah Tala is telling us that the day of judgment that event will cover us. It will overwhelm everything. I mean people will busy with this world, a man might be at work, another checking his account balance, another biking, another driving, some will be chatting, some will be playing, some will be watching TV

so people will give preference to this life, but when the split second comes of the day of judgment it will overwhelm, it will cover it will take over everything. The mothers will abandon their children, the children hair will go grey, everyone will be covered, overwhelmed by that day.

Document1 Ayah #2

Al Wu-jew Verus Wujew

Some faces that day will be humuliated. So here the normal expectation is that the sentence would have said Al Wu jew, but the grace of Allah the ayah says which means some faces, not all will be humilated that day. So some other faces on that day will not be humilated, and we will see that later in the surah. Now in the previous surah Allah Tala said:

So Allah used the word ya-kha-sha-yaa with the yaa, which means fear. Here Allah Tala uses khaa-she-ya with ayn. So the khash-yaa is to be afraid of something bigger than you. But khu-shoo with ayn is to be afraid of something so much that yours, mucles, and bones start to shake. The fear starts to paralyize. So khu-shoo is described the state of the believer in where? In the Salah, as Allah Tala says in Surat Muminoon:

But Allah says:

So the disbelievers faces on that day will be paralized, will shake, will be numb, will be overwelmed. In others places in the Quran Allah Tala talks about the eyes, and tongues experiencing khu-shoo. But the believer faces the khu-shoo where, in the heart. So the honor of khu-shoo of the hearts is only given to the believers. But khu-shoo experienced by other parts of the body, the eyes, faces, limbs, tongues etc, this is used only for the disbelivers and that is a humuliation. Now there is only one place in the Quran that Allah Tala refers to the hearts of the

8 of 40

Document1 disbelivers having fear on the day of judgment, in Surat Nazi-aat:

So hear Allah Tala does not use khu-shoo for desribing the hearts of the disbelievers but uses ( wa-juf) which is used when you slap an animal to put fear in it. So the disbelievers hearts do not fear Allah in this world, but on the day of judgment every limb of theirs will be in fear, and their hearts will be in wa-juf like after an animals gets after it is slapped. But again the believers have khu-shoo in this world in their hearts, and that is an honor to fear you unseen Creator and to struggle and strive to earn your Creators rewards and safe from His punishment.

Ayah 3 So here the a-mil-ah the laboring has been described that in this world the disbelievers labored so hard, and forgot the commandments of Allah and in the hereafter they will be naasee-bah weary. And even the ones that thought they working for the hereafter will be weary. In a narration about Omar (RA): Hasan Basri reports that when 'Umar went to Syria, a Christian monk came to him. He was an old man, and on account of his religious exercises and great endeavours, his face was exhausted, his body was dry and his dressing was miserable. When 'Umar & looked at him, he began to weep. People asked him about the cause of his weeping. He replied: "I pity the condition of this old man. This poor soul worked so hard and showed such readiness to lay down his life to achieve a particular purpose (that is, to gain the pleasure of Allah) but, alas! He could not achieve it. Then he recited

So the monk spent his life in a worship that Allah Tala will not accept, because it was not accordance to Allahs revealed way, in other words false worship. And this obviously will happen to the Muslim who do deeds to show-off, pride, name, fame, etc. So we ask Allah Tala to help us purify our intentions to seek only Allahs pleasure alone.

Slave of Dirham and Dinar

Another kind of

amal that Rasullah SAW cursed is the slave of the dinar and

dirham, in Bukahari narrated Abu Huraira The Prophet said, "Let the slave of Dinar and Dirham of Quantify and Khamisa (i.e. money and luxurious clothes) perish for he is pleased if these things are given to him, and if not, he is displeased!", So here Rassullah is cursing the slave of literally the dollar and cent. And both the non-Muslims and Muslims unforetunetly fall into this trap of becoming the slave of the dollar and cent. Look at the work-alholic. Look 9 of 40

Document1 at the one who goal to advance their career, and business, spending most of the life in the work, they bring work home, they dream of work, many of them lose their marriages, and their children, because they were so focused on work, work, work. And when they die people will say RIP, or Rest in Peace. But guess what there is no peace for that person who threw away the hereafter for this world. So again they will come on the day of Judgment

So here Allah Tala is telling us with the that they themselves will throw themselves in the fire. Now if I through something at you. What is the first thing people will do? The natural instinct is to protect the face. But in this ayah the scholars mentions mention that the people of the hell-fire will not fling themselves into this overwhelming fire, but specifically there are going to fling their faces. Now the second word is which means fire, and is followed by which is an adjective or it describs the fire. So what does mean? means blazing, intensely hot. An adjective Scholars also mention that means a quality that continues to burn, that continues to for the fire put to pain, and so there is no break to the punishment. So we ask Allah Tala to protect from being amongs the people of the hell-fire. And we ask Allah Tala to make us to realize that this short temporary life is not worth throwing away for the hereafter. Ayah 5 - Hells spring only gives water when it boils up with hot water. - Boiling water falls on the faces Ayah 6 -Present tense is used for the punishment.

So in the previous ayah Allah Tala talks about people being thrown in a intensily hot fire. So what is the natural opposite and releive from the fire? It is water. Now in arabic the word or spring is used to describ beautiful things. Like when the people of heaven is described as hour-ul-ayn. So here one might think well a spring of water is described to give some relieve from the fire. But Allah Tala is adds an adjective to the ayn and says, . And the

word is translated as something the boils over. So the faces in the hellfire will be given to drink from a spring that only bursts when it boils over. Again may Allah save us from this disastuaus punishment. So one of the drinks of hell is boiling water, what about the food. Allah Tala informs us of one of the foods when he says:

10 of 40

Document1 The first thing to note here is that which litterily means Not is is in the present form. So the burning in the fire, the hot boiling water and the other punishments when is this going to happen? It is in the future. But the scholars mention Allah is using the present form, and this is a measure of the anger of Allah on them. So they are being told to imagine these horrors as even it is happening right now. The scholors comment that the use of the present form should convey to the kufaar that it is not too late to change, but if you do not, then This ayah is also translated There is no food for them except . is translated raw nasty seaweed, that not even the animals like to eat. Another translation of is a thorny plant that is called shib-ri-q. The animals do not like to eat from this plant since it thorny, bitter, and poiosuonious. The only animal that can eat from it is the camel. Ad-Daree is a thorny plant know as ash-Shubruq that grows in the Hijaaz. Ibn 'Abbaas said, "It is a lowgrowing thorny plant; when it grows tall it is called daree". Qataadah said, "It is one of the very worst types of food" (Ibn Rajab, at-Takhweef min an-Naar, p.115). Now in this ayah tells us that they will go looking around for food. Meaning that the Daree will not be brought for them, but when the hunger drives them to look for food they will come only across to this thorny, bitter, nasty, pousnounous plant.

Dari nasty seaweed or thorns from shibriq plant. Food will not be brought to them. They will search due to hunger. Ayah 7

Now some of the mushrikeen of Rasullah time use to mock and say we will get ad-daree oh that is not so bad. Even our camels can eat that and they are nice and fat. The response to this mocking is described in the next ayah. Allah Tala says:

So this daree will neither nourish, and on top of that it will not satisfy the hunger, meaning that whoever eats will still be hunger after consuming it. So when one eats something nasty in this world, what you do? You go ehhe and you spit it out. But these people of hell fire have to go search for the daree plant, get tortured in just picking apart the plant, due to its pisounous, and thorny nature, then eat it, and what is the result no nourshiment and no satisfaction from hunger. So humiluation upon humuliation, and the end result and further misery in wanting to still eat.

Conclusion of first seven ayaat

So to conclude we read about the overwelming day of judgment, we read about people who laboured hard for this world at the expense of the hereafter will be raised on that day tired, weak, and shaking, we read about the punishments which are described happening to the faces of the kuffar, and mushrik. Those same faces which had arrogance, pride, haughtiness, mocking at the believers, jealsouy, all these bad characteristics are expressed from face. So on that day those same faces will then be thrown head first into the hell fire, will be covered by the fire. And those same faces that consumed the haram will be given to drink the hot boiling water. Those same faces that consumed the haram food will be given to the . The

11 of 40

Document1 thorny, bitter, posounious plant that will neither nurish, nor fill the stomachs. So what a disaster it is to throw away our hereafter for the temporary brief life of this world. The action item is then on us to do everything we can to protect ourselves and our families and by the help of Allah from that punishment. So after these describtion of the people of hardship, Allah Tala blesses us describtion of the people of Jannah. Meaning, Other faces on that day

will be in , meaning, happiness, relaxation, softness, joy, bless, freshness, no signs of stress, or gloom in summary a face that you have when you are given a gift. The condition to that the face being pleased on that day, is effort. These believers are going to have to put a lot of effort, and work, and struggle, strive in the ways of Allah and in return the result is the face.

So the contrast is that the disbeliever also worked hard in this world and on that day they will be exhaust, tired, worried, gloomed, darkened, stressed, in toil . And you have the believers who also worked hard for the sake of Allah in this world and on that day they will be relaxed, and fresh. This ayah is also similar to the describtion in Surat Abasa:

So here the sayee refers to the ones that worked with a sense of ugency, with a sense of concern. So those people will be content, will be happy with the actions they did in this world with a sense of ugency. Scholars also mention that the sayee effort is only restricted to the actions that brought goodness in the hereafter. So the salah, the fasting, the charity, the kind words, the serving of parent, and humanity, the 12 of 40

Document1 efforts to stay from the haram, the efforts to make dawa, the efforts to defend this deen, those are the actions they will be happy about on that day. So the effort to sustain onself in this world, the work, business, and trade, will not even come to mind on that day. Also the scholars mention that that work for the akhriah was something they forced themselves to do. So they forced themselves to work towards the halal and staying away from the haram. But the work for this world comes easy. So if we are told, let us go to the masjid and attend the lecture, or salah. Then excurse come to our mind, oh it looks like it is going to rain, oh I just pray at home, oh I am too tire, etc. Oh you want me to give to the majsid, to the orphans, I do not know the economy is bad, my job is shakey. But when it comes to this world it is easy, someone says lets go to Disneyland, we say sure when is it. Someone says lets go to the bowling alley, the respond is yes sure, even though it is farther than the masjid. So why are we like this. Because we are in a hurry, we want instant, we want the food, the entertaination, the fun, right now. Allah Tala is promising us mansion up high, with gardens, and waterfalls, etc, but we have to wait, it is coming, and it comes with making effort. Another thing to note is, the lee which means with tells us that the believers are not only happy with their actions, but happy with the opportunity that Allah gave, and honored them to work as believers. In others words when we obey Allah we honoured with this blessing, so we will be happy with the honour of serving Allah. Think of it this way a job is job, but when you get a really high job, or position, what do people do, like when a President accepts the position he says, I am so honored to have been given this oppurtunity . So we as believers should have this attitude that Allah Tala has blessed us with the high honor of Iman, and so we should feel proud, and honored for this.

. So in real estate what is one of the most important selling points? When you read the ads, you constantly come across, mountain view, lake view. So that area that is high, the area with the view is the most expensive. When you stop at the scenic view, where is that? It is at the top. When you check into a hotel, which floor do you want? The top floor. So Allah Tala who knows us best is telling us that in Jannah the reward includes the high gardens, the elevated gardens, the gardens with the views.

13 of 40

Document1

So the scholars say that the taa referred to here is talking about Rasullah, meaning You (Oh Muhammad) SAW will not hear vain, vulgular, insulting, useless, hurtful speech. So here we learn that Allah Tala is telling his Prophet that you are guarteed jannah, and in it there is no useless talk there.

The word , which useless talk, not thinking talk, lewd, vain, vulgular, insulting, hurtful talk. This important to Rasullah first, and the believers making dawa, because when they spread the noble word of Islam to the people what are people doing they are responding back with laghwa. They used to say to Rasullah, Oh our camels can eat the darh that is not so bad. They said,

They used to call Rasullah, insane, possed by a jinn. All these innappriate things. So here Rasulllah is told you will not here any of this laqwa. And there are other places in the Quran that Allah Tala says to the believers also that they will not hear any vain talk, and lying. As an example if we look at Surat An Naba:

So one of the pleasures of Jannah is there is no vain talk. The importance of not hearing laqwa is that the believers will not hear hurtful speech, lying speech, speech that makes you feel bad, and hurts the feelings. You know someone could have billions of dollar, live in the most expensive home, drive the coolest car in this world, but if their wife, or children say something thing hurtful, none of that money, or house, or car will save that person from feeling bad. So all that fancy things in life will not take away the pain of bad speech. But in Jannah the hurtful, and lying speech does not occur.

So thus far Allah is telling us that the believers will have happy, and honoured with the effort

14 of 40

Document1 they made for the hereafter, they will be given high gardens, and they will not hear hurtful speech. In the next ayah Allah Tala says: . So this mansion that is in gardens, on high, is also on a running spring, or in other words a waterfall. Now in this world when you go to the fancy hotels, you see similuated or man-made water falls, and fountains. Why because the human nature is attracted to the soothing sound of running water, and even in the desert like in Arizona, what we find people putting swimming pool, fountains, and waterfalls to get the effect of running water. So Allah Tala who best knows his creation tells us in Jannah you will your mansions with running springs. So look at the comparision between these springs that are running in Jannah, and the springs of Hell which was described as only running when the water is boiled up, and falls on the faces of the people of hell. Ayah 13

So here we are told that the people of Jannah are going to be on thrones raised high. So these lofty high thrones that part of the mansions tells of the stability of Jannah. Allah is giving us stability, you are not going anywhere you will have the stability of forever. In contrast in this world you know we spend money on granite countertops, and marable floors, but do they last, no becsuae every 20 to 30 years most homes are remodeled.

Also the word the is the objective noun. Meaning some did it for you. So the interior decoration, the interior design has been completed by the angels, at the commandment of Allah. Subhaan-Allah what a blessing. So how does these high throwns fit with the blessings. Well imagine the mansions location on a high ground, surrounded by flowing water and you sitting on a high throne, high couch to enjoy, and chill and see the amazing view, and say, Alhumdulilah I have made.

Goblets set in place So here we learn that the goblets, the dining set, the utensils, all the decore, has been set. And the also implies that the goblets, the drinks the food, is lowered or served to

15 of 40

Document1 you. In other words you are chilling in your raised couches, you do not want to get up to get you drink and food, here we learn that all of it is served to you. Subhan-Allah.

The also tells us that what when the drinks from the goblets are finish right away they are filled again. So again blessing after blessing, after blessing. Allahu-Akbar. You know in this world when you see a fancy restaurant what you see. You see hanging cups, you set dishs, you see servants waiting on you. So Subhan-Allah Allah gives us the same scene that everyone for thousands of years has been running to wanting that same seen is described to us in Jannah.

Conclusion on Ayaat 1 through 16

Conclusion: The disbelievers were described as laboring, weary, thrown face first into the fire that has no decrease in pain, given to drink the boiling water, given to eat from the thorny plant that gives no nutriance or stop the hunger so punishment, after punishment after punishment is described. On the other hand the believers are described as having joyful faces, in garden high up with the views, with springs and waterfalls around it, with High, elevated couches. Cups all set out for drinking, and cushions sitting in a row, and the carpet rolled out. Because when it comes down to it, its either this, or hameem and dariy. The choice is yours. Choose wisely because Hellfire is not really a choice at all.

Creation of camel

Now earlier when the subject of daree was talked about the mushrikeen poked fun of it by saying, Daree that is no big deal, our camels can eat that. So here Allah changes the subject by challenging us to look that the perfection, flawless, and precicion in His Creation. And Allah starts out by using the example of the camel.

Why the camel?

So here Allah says, Do they not look towards the camel, and how it was created. Allah does not say how we created it, but rather how it was created. Tell the mushrikeen, just look at its amazing creation, even though you do not believe that I Allah created it. Why the camel? First because they brought up the subject of the camel. Second because in the life of the desert the camel is a central part of it. In fact, the camel has played such an

important role in Arab culture that there are over 160 words for "camel" in the Arabic language.
So lets ponder on this amazing creature. Feet
The camel has feet for all types of land; its feet are donated with two toes connected to each other with a flexible cushion. This structure which enables it to firmly grasp the land is consisted of four fat-balls. This pad supports the animal on the sand like a pair of

snowshoes, and makes the camel almost completely silent when it walks and runs.

17 of 40

Document1
These feet are totally proper for all kinds of land conditions. Its nails protect the foot against any potential damages that may occur as a result of blows. The Knees lower chest are covered with a structure called "callus", which is composed of skin as hard and thick as horn. When the animal lays down on the hot sands, this calloused structure protects the animal from being defected by the extremely hot sand. Camels have four knees. This means that when it is sitting down all four of its legs are completely folded, lower the animal, making it easy to climb for riding or loading it. AYAH The camel hump is a food stock. The hump of the camel forms a mass of fat, and provides nutriment to the animal periodically in times of starvation. With this system, this animal can live 3 weeks without water, whilst it looses 33% of its weight. Under the same severe circumstances, a human being would loose 8% of his weight, but die within 36 hours. Since, he would completely lose the water in his body. AND ALLAH SAYS (READ AYAH)

Knees

The Hump

Head Eye Eyelashes

The camel's head, though small, is one of its most interesting features. It has two large eyes on either side of the head. Each eye is shaded from the noonday sun by a projecting ridge of bone that thick bushy eyebrows sit on. The eye itself is protected from sand by two rows of extra long eyelashes, one on the upper eyelid, and one on the lower eyelid. In addition to this, each eye also has a very thin third eyelid that moves with a side to side motion, front to back. These can act as a windshield wiper brushing away sand, or can close to protect the eye while still allowing the camel to see. Glands in the camel's eye supply a lot of water in order to keep the eye moist under extremely dry conditions.
Nose and ears are covered with long hairs for protection from sand and dust.

Camels are mobile browsers and have a deeply split upper lip. Their split lip is ideally suited to stripping leaves from even the most prickly trees and shrubs. With their long neck, they can reach 11 1/2 ft. (3.5 m) high and can feed on tough thorny plants that even sheep and goats would pass over. [29] They can do this because of stiff hairs on their nose that permit them to push their way into thorny plants and thick skin inside their mouth that thorns cannot pierce. [30] They also like (even need) extremely salty plants that grow at salt lakes and other locations. Inside the camel's mouth are 34 strong sharp teeth, which can be used as weapons, as well as for feeding. [31] Although camels will normally select the freshest vegetation available, when food is scarce, they are omnivore. This means they eat everything, fresh plants, dried plants, bones, fish, meat, leather, and even on occasion their owner's tent. Camels are called ruminant feeders, because they do

18 of 40

Document1

not chew their food before swallowing it. Instead, later after feeding, they regurgitate some of it (which is now politely called cud) and finish chewing it. Then, it's three chambered stomach can complete the digestion.
The Hump
The camel hump is a food stock. The hump of the camel forms a mass of fat, and provides nutriment to the animal periodically in times of starvation. With this system, this animal can live 3 weeks without water, whilst it looses 33% of its weight. Under the same severe circumstances, a human being would loose 8% of his weight, but die within 36 hours. Since, he would completely lose the water in his body. AND ALLAH SAYS (READ AYAH)

Water Usage

In the wintertime, camels can gather enough moisture from the plants they eat to go as much as 50 days without water. However, in the summertime, they may only go 5 days without water. [34] Camels have 4 major ways of surviving without water. 1. Camels are capable of losing safely 30% of their body's weight in water, which would kill any other animal. [35] They can do this because: A. Fluid levels in their circulator system are maintained by taking fluid from the body's tissues. B. The hydrophilicity (attracts water) of a camel's hemoglobins means its red blood cells resist dehydration. C. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are normally circular, except in the family Camelidae, where they are oval. These small oval erythrocytes can circulate more easily at increased blood viscosities.[36] D. Camel blood contains 94% water, just like humans. But during dehydration, their blood can lose up to 40% of its water safely. According to doctors, human blood must stay very close to 94% water. If it loses 5% of its water, you go blind; at 10%, you can't hear and go insane; 12%, and your blood is as thick as molasses. Unable to circulate blood, you're dead. [37] Camels are capable of drinking 30 gallons (113.56 L) of water in 10 minutes. Scientists have even found a camels stomach empty 10 minutes after drinking 20 gallons (75.7 L) of water. [38] In other animals, drinking that much water would quickly result in water intoxication. But, where does the water go? The water first goes into the bloodstream. The hemoglobins in a camel's red blood cells are highly hydrophilic (attracts water). This allows them to swell to 240% of their normal size. Amazingly, these hemoglobins also resist hyperhydration, which helps them avoid severe osmotic problems when the camel drinks a larger amount of water. [39] The blood stream then quickly rehydrates the rest of the body's tissues. Contrary to the popular myth,

19 of 40

Document1

only about a gallon and a half of water is stored in special sacks within a camel's stomach. This is a very limited amount of water and is not the camels main storage device. Camels minimize water loss through their waste. The camel's kidneys can concentrate their urine to the consistency of syrup with twice the salt content of sea water. And, their fecal pellets are so dry that they can be used for cooking fuel immediately after voiding. Camels do not sweat, instead they allow their body temperature to rise and fall from 97.7-107.6F (36.5-42C)! That's 10 F (5.5C)! [41] In humans, an increase of only 2F (1C) is a sign of illness; and, a core temperature rise of 6F (3 C) will result in vital organ damage and eventually death. [ Camels can drink brackish or salty water that would be unfit for most other animals.
Camel Meat

Camel meat could be the meat of the future especially in health-conscious Western countries. This is because camel meat has very low cholesterol and hardly any fat, since the fat is concentrated in the camel's hump, which can weigh up to 80 lbs. (36 kg) and can be easily discarded. If a camel's fat was distributed over it's body like a humans, it would insulate the body and make it harder to cool down.
The camel is the largest domesticaed camel. Yet its nature is such that even a child could control it. It truly is a gentle giant. This behavior teaches us a lesson that Rasullah told to us, he said, True believers are easy going, and leintient, like the camel that have been branded in its nose. When it is told to stand it stands. And when it is told to sit on the scorching rocks it sits. So we are taught humilty that this massive creature comes down on all four knees, and sits on the hot scorching land for its master. The same way us believers should be eager to follow and submit to the commandments of Allah, we should not talk back, and submit even if it hurts like sitting on scorching rocks.
Now, let us think in the light of these information: Has the camel adapted its own body to the desert conditions on its own? Has it formed its own mucus of the nose or the hump on its back? Or has it designed its own nose and eye structure with protection against windwhirls and storms? Has it arranged its own blood and cell structure based on the principle to prevent waste of water? Has it chosen itself the type of the hair covering its body? Has it converted itself to a 'desert ship' on its own? Just as any other living being, the camel surely cannot execute any of the above listed features in itself. Moreover, it cannot make itself advantageous or beneficial to mankind. The verse in the Qur'an stating, "Do not they look at the camel, how it is created?" explains the

creation of this excellent animal in the best way. As the other beings, camel is too, created with many characteristics and then placed on earth as a sign of the excellence of the Creator in creation. While it is created with such superior physical features, it has been given to the service of mankind. On the other hand, mankind is given the responsibility to see similar miracles of creation throughout the whole universe and know the Creator of all beings, Allah

Ayah 18

So now you are on the camel, and you look up and you see the sky. And Allah is asking do you not ponder on how this sky is raised. How perfect this magnificent umbrella has been designed to support life on this earth. Without the sky, we will not have the clouds, the rains, the winds, the different layers that protect us, like the ozone that without it the harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun would causes all to have skin cancer. Who could have been the one to raise this magnificent structure.

Document1

So you are on the camel and you look at the sky above you and now turn to the mountains around you. Allah Tala is telling us about how these mountains are pegged or nailed to the ground. The schalars have the following comments on this ayah
Mountains pegged Scientific Phoenomen o

First let us speak on this from the scientific point of view. Mountains are defined a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area usually in the form of a peak. Mountains also have due to continental shift called plate tectonics have roots. In other words we are just seeing the heads of the mountains and the roots of them are below the ground level.

Mountains pegged now floating in the hereafter

Now the word is what is called a Contronym. Contronyms are words that have the same and opposite means. An example in English is consult to offer advice or take advice.

comes from the root na-saw-ba which means pegged or rooted.

22 of 40

Document1

Remember earlier in the surah Allah Tala which meant laboring weary or wobbly. So na-saw-ba means both rooted and wobbling. Subhan-Allah scholars mention that this is telling us the same fixed mountains that are deeply rooted in the here-after when the earth grounded, and flattened so the mountains will be wobbly and blown away like a cloud. As an example Allah Tala state in Surat Naba

1. Contrast of mountains in the hereafter and this world: a. Fixed versus floating mountains: Earlier Allah Tala said about the mountains as:

So those stake mountains, nailed mountains that are fixed on the earth, on the day of judgment are described as , moved around or floating around casually. b. Mountains become a mirage: Now in this world we see mountains and they are real, but in the hereafter they are described as a mirage. This has multiple affects: i. The mountains floating will look like a mirage of this world, like when you are driving on the highway and you think up ahead is like a moving water in a lake but in realty it is just the heat wave on the hot asphalt. ii. The mountains will actually disappear and therefore they are not real like a mirage. iii. To the humans who see these mountains moving casually it will look like a mirage to where they will do a double take or multiple takes.

Document1 The Earth Spread Out

So scholars comment here that the earth has been described as spread out but also comes from the root saa-dhaa-haa which means roof. And Subhan-Allah this is telling us about the fact that one day this same earth will be roof over us when we are in our graves.

Now that the reminders to the ayaat of Allah in creation has been explained our attention goes

back to admonish or reminder.

So here Allah Tala did not mention the object of reminder like them), Allah simple says so remind .

(remind

It does not matter if they listen or not your job is only reminder ( Do not worry about the effect on people -

).

maybe it will effect immediately. An example is Abu Bakr who heard the message and immediately accepted. maybe it will not, An example is Abu Lahab who did not accept with repeated, multiple reminders. maybe it will have an effect much later. Like Abu Sufyaan who heard the message early, but took him a long time to accept.

24 of 40

Document1

So this job description of Rasullah as

reminder encompasses:

1. Reminding us of the past people of the pasts failures and sucesses. 2. Reminding us of what Allah has revealed about the future. 3. Reminding us of the covenant the agreement we have already made with Allah Tala.

4. Reminding us of the inner consious that tells us between right and wrong. 5. And so on.

So this word is someone diligently in charged, over someone so that he monitors everything he does, control everything, and record everything. So like a prison guard who guauds the gate but the prisoner. So basically Rasullah is basically told you cannot force them to submit to Islam. You cannot pull them into the Jannah. This subhan-Allah is giving console, and support to that do not worry so much about pulling

25 of 40

Document1 them into Islam, just remind and leave the rest to Allah. And this is one of the explaination of

So reminding has great benefit in Islam. Even if you know. As an example you know you have to study for test, but your are not doing it. What happens you friend comes and say what are doing bro, you have a test tomorrow. Why you aint studing? And you reply you know you are right I should study. Now you knew you had to study, you did, but you friends reminder jolted you into action, so the riminder helps

So this translates as Except the one who turned away and disbelieved

So the word 26 of 40

comes from the root a-zha-baa when a person leave eating due to

Document1

severe deyahdration because hurts to eat dehaydration. So means punishment but it is torturous punishment. So who is this punishment that Allah will extract upon, it is the one who

, meaning the one whis reminded decides turns away and disbelieves.

So the ultimate desitiny is explain return to Allah.

And the ultimate accounting is explained as the accounting of Allah.

Imam Ahmad recorded from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah said,

27 of 40

Document1

:
(I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped except Allah). So if they say that, they have safeguarded their blood and wealth from me - except for what is rightfully due from it - and their reckoning is with Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.)'' Then he recited,

(So remind them - you are only one who reminds. You are not a dictator over them -) This is how Muslim recorded this Hadith in his Book of Faith, and At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i also recorded it in their Sunans in the Books of Tafsir. This Hadith can be found in both of the Two Sahihs.

The surah starts with a question, to make you think. The companions would say: Allahu wa rasuluhu alam (know better), out of humbleness, even know they had an answer in mind. So humble yourself and listen. Al-Ghashiyah is, of course, The Overwhelming one of the names of the Day of Judgment. Have you heard of it? Sure. But listen: Translation: [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled. [Surah Ghashiyah, verse 2] Khaashiyah is from the same root as khushoohumility.All these people who never humbled themselves to Allah with khushoo, on that day, will be humbled with khushoo. And the indefinitivity of wujoohun, some faces, gives us hopeit wont be everybody. But its too late for them. Translation: Working [hard] and exhausted. [Surah Ghaashiyah, verse 3] This verse is hard to translate; it means you will see, on their faces, tiredness. Have you ever seen someone who didnt sleep for two days? Or someone working at McDonalds/Popeyes/etc, standing all day? Or try going to Walmart at 11pm. You see the tiredness in the faces of people. On the Day of Judgment, there will be no respite from tiredness, no heres a lunch break, come back for more punishment in 15 minutes. Then Allah says: Translation: They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. They will be given drink from a boiling spring. For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant (dariy), which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. [Surah Ghashiyah, verses 5-8]

Document1 Aynun aaniyah, a spring of boiling hot water, so hot, that it would kill a person. Nobody would ever think about drinking such a thing normallybut they will be so intensely thirsty, that they will drink anything that they see. Even this.

But they wont die. And for food? Dariy, which was known to the Arabs of that time, is a thorny plant. When its soft, camels eat it; but when it ripens, big, long, HUGE thorns erupt out of it thorns which can choke you. And on top of that, its poisonous and can kill. Nobody would ever think about eating such a thing normallybut they will be so intensely hungry, that they will eat anything they see. Even this. But they wont die. And all that eating and drinking, youd think theyd slack their thirst or hunger; but Allah says, no, it wont help you anything. Then Allah says: Translation: [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. With their effort [they are] satisfied. [Surah Ghaashiyah, verses 9-10]

30 of 40

Document1 When you really understand and recite these verses, its almost like a breath of fresh air after all the verses of Hellfire. Others on that day, will have brightness, softness naaimah. And they will be pleased with the reward that Allah dispenses them. So what do they get? What is this exclusive reward, for those who avoid Hellfire? Lets take a quick peek at some of the things waiting for them and us, inshaAllah: Translation: In an elevated garden, wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. Within it is a flowing spring. Within it are couches raised high. And cups put in place. And cushions lined up. And carpets spread around. [Surah Ghashiyah, verses 10-16] When you read these verses, verse after verse, you get a sense of preparation. An elevated, penthouse suite with a spring in it. High, elevated couches. Cups all set out for drinking, and cushions sitting in a row, and the carpet rolled out. Because when it comes down to it, its either this, or hameem and dariy. The choice is yours. Choose wisely because Hellfire is not really a choice at all.

Camel: A Special Animal in the Service of Mankind

"Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made? And at the Sky, how it is raised high? And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm? And at the Earth, how it is spread out? Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish." (Al-Ghashiya - The Overwhelming, The Pall), 17-21) It's beyond doubt that all beings reflect the endless Power and Knowledge of their Creator. This fact is expressed in many verses of the Qur'an, constantly emphasizing that everything created by Allah is actually an evidence of belief and a lesson for admonition. The 17th verse of the Chapter Al-Gashiya, which is "Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?", mentions an animal that has to be carefully examined and

31 of 40

Document1
thought about: This is the 'camel'. In this article, we will study this animal on which the Qur'an invites us to ponder about. The exclusively specific characteristic of the camel is its body structure, which is not effected even in the most severe circumstances. Its body has such features that for many days, it can survive without water and food and can even travel with a bulk of hundreds of kilograms on its back. Many characteristics of the camel constitute evidence that this animal is created particularly for the dry climate conditions, and put into service for the comfort of man. In the Qur'an, it is stated; "Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day, and in all that Allah hath created, in the heavens and the earth, are signs for those who fear Him." (Yunus (Jonah), 6) The camel is specially designed for the conditions of the desert. As a matter of fact, each part of the animal's body has to be investigated in order to understand how it is "made" by Allah. Feet for all types of land; its feet are donated with two toes connected to each other with a flexible cushion. This structure which enables it to firmly grasp the land is consisted of four fat-balls. These feet are totally proper for all kinds of land conditions. Its nails protect the foot against any potential damages that may occur as a result of blows. Knees are covered with a structure called "callus", which is composed of skin as hard and thick as horn. When the animal lays down on the hot sands, this calloused structure protects the animal from being defected by the extremely hot sand. The hump as a food stock; the hump of the camel forms is a mass of fats, and provides nutriment to the animal periodically in times of starvation. With this system, this animal can live 3 weeks without water, whilst it looses 33% of its weight. Under the same severe circumstances, a human being would loose 8% of his weight, but die within 36 hours. Since, he would completely lose the water in his body. Heat insulating fur; this fur consists of thick and felted hair that does not only protect the body of the animal against cold and hot climatic conditions, but also eliminate the water loss of the body. The Hecin camel can delay the perspiration of its body by means of increasing its body temperature up to 41 C, and thus prevents the water loss. With its thick fur, camels in Asia can survive high temperatures reaching up to +50 C in s mmer and falling down to -50 C in winter. Head sheltered from the sand; the eye lashes of the camel are designed like two separate combs clamping together. In case of danger, they are automatically closed. With this special design, even a single grain of sand is not let into the eye. Nose and ears are covered with long hairs for protection from sand and dust. Its long neck enables the animal to reach and feed on the leaves, which are 3 meters high from the ground. In addition to the above features, the camel also has other specialized systems in its body. Actually, each one of these qualities of the animal gives it proficiency in the harsh conditions of the desert. These features may be categorized as below: RESISTANCE TO THIRST AND HUNGER Camels can live without food and water for 8 days under temperatures of 50 C. During this period, it looses 22% of its body weight. However, it can survive even if it looses 40%

32 of 40

Document1
of the water in its body, whilst loosing just 12% would cause a man's death. Another reason of its endurance against thirst is a mechanism which enables the camel to increase its internal temperature up to 41 C. Thanks to this, the animal keeps the water loss at the minimum level in the extreme hot climates of the desert. Camels can also decrease their internal body temperature down to 30 C in the cold nights of the desert. IMPROVED WATER UTILIZATION UNIT Camels can consume 130 liters of water almost in 10 minutes. This amount is approximately one third of their body weight. Besides, camels also have a mucus structure in their nose, which is 100 times larger in area than the man's. Every time the animal breathes, air is moisturized by the mucus. When we breathe, we lose 16 mg of water vapor for every litre of air. However, with the structure of the mucus, camels can get use of the moisture in the air in a ratio of 66%. MAXIMUM BENEFIT FROM FOOD AND WATER Most of the animals die when the accumulated urea in their body gets into the blood circulatory system. Yet, camels use this urea produced in their body, by filtering it through the liver continuously. Consequently, they use it as a source of protein and water. Both the blood and cell structures of the camel are specialized for enabling this animal to survive for long periods of time. Hump is the another aide to the camel. One fifth of the camel's body is stored as fat in its hump. The storage of the body fat in only one part of the camel's body, prevents it from losing water all through body. This lets its body to use minimum amount of water. Although a camel with humps can take in 30-50 kilograms of food in a day, it is able to live one month with only 2 kg of grass. In addition, camels have very strong and rubber like lips that make it easer for them to eat thorns sharp enough to pierce leather. Furthermore, it possesses such a strong digestive system that it can eat everything it comes across with like plastic plates, copper wire and reeds. The four chambered stomach of this wonderful animal gets use of everything, even other than food. It is rather obvious how precious these features of the camels are in such a dry climate. "Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the heavens and on earth, and has made his bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten them!" (Luqman, 20) Now, let us think in the light of these information: Has the camel adapted its own body to the desert conditions on its own? Has it formed its own mucus of the nose or the hump on its back? Or has it designed its own nose and eye structure with protection against windwhirls and storms? Has it arranged its own blood and cell structure based on the principle to prevent waste of water? Has it chosen itself the type of the hair covering its body? Has it converted itself to a 'desert ship' on its own?

Document1
Just as any other living being, the camel surely cannot execute any of the above listed features in itself. Moreover, it cannot make itself advantageous or beneficial to mankind. The verse in the Qur'an stating, "Do not they look at the camel, how it is created?" explains the creation of this excellent animal in the best way. As the other beings, camel is too, created with many characteristics and then placed on earth as a sign of the excellence of the Creator in creation. While it is created with such superior physical features, it has been given to the service of mankind. On the other hand, mankind is given the responsibility to see similar miracles of creation throughout the whole universe and know the Creator of all beings, Allah...
Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made? [17] And at the Sky, how it is raised high? [18] And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm? [19] And at the Earth, how it is spread out? [20] Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. [21] Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. [22] In these honored verses, Allah ( Praise & Glory be to him) surpassed the camel upon all other living creatures, and made the contemplation of how it was made prior to raising high the sky, fixing firm the mountains, or spreading out the earth. Allah demanded to make the contemplation of these creatures as the entrance to the pure belief Allahs power and contrivance.

In this honored verse, the Creator, who knows the secrets of his creatures, advises people to think and contemplate in creating camels as a creature witnesses Allahs glory, power and planning. We will realize the amazing facts science has revealed recently in creating the camel which prove the forefront of the Holy Quran in indicating such a miracle creature. This shows that the Holy Quran is the miracle book that Allah has revealed to his prophet, Mohammed (Peace be upon him). The Scientific Miracles: The first obvious matter in camels is the external structure which shows astonishing and remarkable evidences. Camels Ears: Ears are small and little prominent. Hair covers them from each side to protect them of wind-blown sand. They, also, have the ability to curve backward and stick to head if a sandy wind is blowing. Camels Nostrils: They are two tight slit-like surrounded by hair and have skin rims. These enable a camel to close the nostrils in order to protect the lungs from particles of sand carried by wind. Camels Eyes:

34 of 40

Document1 They have a double row of long eyelashes. They are similar to a trap in that they interlaced each other, so they can protect the camels eyes and keep out the sand. Camels Tail: It has hair on sides to protect the back parts against wind-blown sand which is as annoying as unceasing bullets. Camels Limbs: They are long in order to raise the body high upon the dust rose in the air. Also, they help in its agility and rapidity. The feet are reinforced with broad callous elastic pads that spread when the camel is walking on sand. These enable a camel to walk over the softest kinds of sand that are difficult for any other animal to move on them. This feature makes the camel worth the title Ship of the Desert.

In many arid habitats, the camel is the ideal way to pass through deserts. The caravan of camels, carrying personal properties, burdens about 50-60 kilometers a day. Even cars can not compete camels yet in rough pumpy deserts. Camels Neck: Allah ( Praise & Glory be to him) creates a camel with a long neck, so it can reaches the plants down on floor and leaves high on trees. Besides, the long neck of a camel raises the head high upon filths, and enables a camel to stand erect with loads. When a camel sits for resting or stands to be prepared for traveling, its heavy body depends on the callous pads on feet, and most weight depends on the thorax; by which it can pulverize an animal or a person in case of lying down on them.

35 of 40

Document1

Theses pads are one of the miracles that the Creator granted for this amazing animal. A camels structure helps in sitting on the harsh hot sand which is often the only place for a camel to rest on - so a camel can adapt to it and protect itself against any harm. The young camel is born with those pads. They are permanent and hereditary, not like human beings shoes. Camels Stomach: The stomach has 4 sides, and the digestive system is strong that a camel can digest anything other than food in dry areas, like rubber for example. A camel doesnt breathe through mouth, nor pants even in high temperature or thirst. By this feature, it can avoid water evaporation. Conserving Temperature in Camels Body: If it was extremely necessary, only a little amount of sweat is dripped. This is referred to the ability of a camels body to adapt to living conditions in deserts in which the temperature fluctuates from morning to evening. A camels body is covered with thick hair which expels the heat, and keeps it out of skin. The system of conserving temperature in a camel can make the temperature fluctuates 7 degrees causing no damages. i.e. from 34 oC to 41oC. A camel only sweats when the body temperature is over 41oC. That happens only in certain time during the day. However, at night, it releases the heat saved from suns rays to the cold air without losing any water drop. This mechanism can conserve 5 litters of water.

36 of 40

Document1 We should not forget to compare this feature in a camel to a human being whose normal body temperature is settled at approximately 37 oC. If the temperature raised or fell down, this will be a warning sign of an illness that has to be cured by effective remedies. A human being might die if the body temperature reached one of the two values that a camel can reach (34 oC to 41oC). Production of Water by a Camel: A camel produces water, which contributes in enduring hunger and thirst, via fats stored in its hump through a chemical process a man can not transcend. It is known that the oxidation of fats and carbohydrates only forms water and carbon dioxide, which the body gets rid of by breathing out, besides forming a large amount of energy necessary in continuing the biological activities. Water produced by oxidation of fats is similar to that formed by lighting a candle for example, in that both give off steam that can be assured of its existence by putting a cold glass slab over the candles flame, so that water produced by burning condenses on the slab. In camels, the source of water is the steam coming out with exhale. A camel turns to most fats stored in its hump when food is rare or lacked. Then, it burns fats slowly and the hump diminishes till leans to the side, and becomes a hollow loose bag when hunger and thirst last long with the tired traveling camel. Allahs judiciousness in the creation of camels is that the reserve of fats is very huge that surpasses any other animal. This can be proven by comparing a camel to sheep which is famous of huge fatty buttock that stores about 11 kgm of fats in, while a camel can store up to 10 times more than that weight. (i.e. about 120 kgm). Undoubtedly, it is a large amount that a camel uses in the metabolism and turns it into water, energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, a camel can spend about a month and a half without drinking water. However extreme thirst attenuates a camel and makes it losing most of its weight. Though, it can go on with life robustly till it finds fresh or salt water, so it quaffs abundantly till quenching thirst. Moreover, camels blood consists o f Albumin enzyme in amounts larger than other organisms. This enzyme increases the camels endurance of water. Camels superpower ability to drink intensive salty liquids is due to a special aptitude in the kidney to get rid of salt by excreting highly intensive urine after retrieving water and taking it back to blood. There are other secrets that science could not reveal its judiciousness yet, but they would clarify other patterns of miracles in the creation of camels as figured out by the eloquent Quran. Camels Milk:

37 of 40

Document1 It is one of the miracles Allah specified to camels. Females can be milked 2 times a day for one year in average. The daily average production of milk is about 5-10 kgm. The annual average production is about 230-260 kgm. The components of the milk vary according to the herd a camel belongs to, and vary from a female to another. Also, they vary according to: plants or grass a camel eats, sorts and amounts of water a camel drinks, seasons in which a camel was raised up, temperature of environment, age of a camel, milking period, number of babies, hereditary capabilities, and analyzing techniques used. Although knowing the components of camels milk is very important, for the sake of a young camel or a human being who drinks that milk, it, on the other hand, implies and deduces the importance of such milk in the nutrition for a young camel or a human being. Generally, camels milk is red-like white, sweet and acrid. However, it can be salty sometimes, or can taste like water. The variation of milk tastes is due to sorts of plans, grass and water a camel gets in. PH -sourness measurement- rises in fresh camel milk. If it is left for a while, sourness will rise up quickly. The proportion of water in camels milk reaches up to 84% -90% which has a great importance in preserving life of young camels and populations in arid or dry areas. During milking period, milked camel loses water in that milk during dry seasons. This might be a normal adaptation as a camel can supply their babies and people not only with nutrition, but also with liquids necessary to their living and surviving. This reflects the grace and kindness of Allah (Praise & Glory be to him). As water in milk produced by the thirsty camel increases, fats are minimized from 4.3% to 1.1%. Generally, the average proportion of fats in camels milk ranges from 2.6% to 5.5%. Fats are linked to proteins in camels milk. Comparing camels milk to cows, buffalos or sheeps, it was noticed that camels milk contains a little amount of short-chain fatty acids. Researchers found that the nutrition in camels milk is represented in the high concentration of volatile acids which are considered the most important nutrious factor for a human being, especially for those with heart diseases. An amazing matter is that Lactose in camels milk remains as it was since the first month of milking period for both thirsty and non-thirsty camels. This is a grace and mercy from the Most High and All-Powerful to safeguard human beings and animals. Lactose is a necessary type of sugar used as laxatives and diuretic medicines. It is, also, important sugar composing newborns food.

38 of 40

Document1 Beside the high nutrition of camels milk, it has many medical benefits and uses which makes it worth being the unique nutrition that cattlemen in some areas depend on. This is a grace of Allah, the Supreme. The Importance of a Camel in supplying with nutrition: When Africa had dryness in 1984-1985, tribes in Kenya who lived on cows that halted milking were perished -or about to perish- and most of them died while those who lived on camels survived because camels were providing milk during dry seasons. Thus, raising a camel has significant economical causes as future insurance. Specialists are seeking to go deep into studying this animal in a world where resources of supplies and energy vanish so quickly. As previously explained, a contemplating look over a camel has been convincing people, since the sent of the Spirit of Faith, of the miracles in the creatures by an apparent way witnesses the Creators power. Also, well-versed scientists and researchers are still finding new hidden miracles till today in this amazing animal which increases the belief in the Creators power, and achieves the harmony between objective medical facts that scientist have revealed and what Allah said in the Holy Quran. A comparison between a Camel and a human being: Comparing a camels capabilities to a human being may clarify the uniqueness of miracles in a camel. Scientists experiments assured that a camel living on dry food can endure raging thirst in hot summer for two weeks or more. But this would attenuate a camel so that it might lose about a quarter of its weight during this period. To understand this superpower, we should compare that to human beings who can not survive in such conditions more than one or two days. If a person lost 5% of his weight, he will not be able to control himself. If this percentage increased to 10 %, he will be confused, lose hearing, and lose feeling of pain (This is a grace and mercy from Allah in the destinies). However, if losing water exceeded 12% of his weight, he will not be able to swell food; thus, can not survive even with the existence of water without the assistance of helpers. In case of helping a person about to die of thirst, helpers should give water in small amounts to avoid the effect of surprising change in the proportion of water in blood. On the other hand, a thirst camel can quaff abundantly without anyones help to retrieve in a few minutes what it has lost during thirst days. Another feature of a camel surpassing a human being is that a thirsty camel can quench thirst by any type of water exists, even water of seas, or extreme salty or bitter swamps. This is referred to a special aptitude in the kidney to get rid of salt by excreting highly intensive urine after retrieving water to take it back to blood; while any trial of helping a thirsty person with salty water would rush his death. The most astonishing matter is that if a camel living in extremely savage conditions of oppressive heat in deserts, it would consume a large

39 of 40

Document1 amount of water as sweating, urination and steam coming out with exhale. It almost would lose a quarter of its weight without resentment because most of lost water was gotten from the bodys tissues and only a little water was gotten from blood, so that blood can still run as a liquid distributing heat and vanishing it from the bodys surface. Otherwise, the temperature would rise surprisingly to an extent that the camels systems can not bear, especially the mind, which would lead to death. Therefore, we find the honored verse: }Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made? [17]{ represents a pattern of what can be achieved by science in all the scientific and instinctive levels. There are no scientific facts or theories in the text, but it has more than that. It includes the keys to reach these facts by fascinating guidance from Allah, the All-Known who is well aquainted with secrets of what He has created. These are some standpoints concerning miracles of the camels creation from structure and feature aspects. They can be realized by contemplating instinct by which Bedwins who live in deserts- were convinced of the miracles in the creation from the first moment. Also, they show the Creators power.
