Have you ever wondered how birds, which lack consciousness and
intellect as we understand them, can consider such delicate details?
These behaviors of birds could be compared to those of engineers who have
gone through years of education and training in their fields. While building
a house, engineers consider details such as the strength
of the building, materials to be used and loca-
tion; only then can construction begin. As you
have seen in the above examples, birds also
build their nests according to a plan. But they
do not need any tools or education. They act by
the inspiration of Allah and easily carry out their
tasks. These birds and what they perform are evi-
dence of Allah’s perfect creation. It is surely the All-
Knowing Allah Who inspires them to do everything
they do.

Everything in the heavens and everything in the
earth belongs to Him. Allah is the Rich Beyond
Need, the Praiseworthy. (Surat al-Hajj: 64)
