The quran miracles - the Camel Do They not Look At the Camel 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 (mens) 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: 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. 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 34oC 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. We should not forget to compare this feature in a camel to a human being whose normal body temperature is settled at approximately 37oC. 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 (34oC 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.
