ANIMALS AND BIRDS LIVE IN<br />

COMMUNITIES<br />

“There is not an animal<br />

(that lives) on the earth,<br />

n<strong>or</strong> a being that flies<br />

on its wings,<br />

but (f<strong>or</strong>ms part of)<br />

communities like you.”<br />

[Al-Qur’an 6:38]<br />

Research has shown that animals <strong>and</strong> birds live in<br />

communities, i.e. they <strong>or</strong>ganize, <strong>and</strong> live <strong>and</strong> w<strong>or</strong>k<br />

together.<br />

THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS<br />

“Do they not look at<br />

the birds, held poised<br />

in the midst of (the air<br />

<strong>and</strong>) the sky?<br />

Nothing holds them up<br />

but (the power of) Allah.<br />

Verily in this are Signs<br />

f<strong>or</strong> those who believe.”<br />

[Al-Qur’an 16:79]
