TENACIOUS SUCKERFI SH
What is special about suckerfish is that they use vessels to get around the
ocean. For this, they may use sharks or ships. The dorsal fin of the fish is like
an oval sucking disc. It can move along with anything it attaches itself to,
whether animate or inanimate. Whatever the creature to which it is at-
tached does or no matter how fast it swims, the suckerfish does not become
detached from it. In the picture above, suckerfish that are attached to the
underside of a shark are seen. Allah knows where every creature is and
what it does. In a verse, Allah states:
What is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Allah. Allah encom-
passes all things. (Surat an-Nisa: 126)
