being. And these creatures are protected from predators by virtue of
their transparency. Allah creates all creatures completely and per-
fectly. We are told in verses that Allah's creation is matchless:
He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any
flaw in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look again – do you see any
gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you daz-
zled and exhausted! (Surat al-Mulk: 3-4)
