they find a sufficiently big body of water, they begin to lay their
eggs.
It is only by the inspiration of Allah that parakeets organize their
lives in compliance with climatic conditions. Since the survival of
their species is essential, they do not take any risks and stop breed-
ing at once. Our Lord, Who knows everything and is well aware of
His creatures, inspires them to behave so wisely. In a verse in Surat
al-Isra’, Allah says:
The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify
Him. There is nothing which does not glorify Him with praise but
you do not understand their glorification. He is All-Forbearing,
Ever-Forgiving. (Surat al-Isra’: 44)
