THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AHL AL-SUNNAH

[The believers are] those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things lawful for them and bad things forbidden for them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains that were around them. Those who believe in him, honor and help him, and follow the Light that has been sent down with him are successful.
(Surat al-A‘raf, 157)

THE FACT OF CREATION

And [He created] horses, mules and donkeys both to ride and for adornment. And He creates other things you do not know.
(Surat an-Nahl, 8)

The beaks of gull species vary according to their feeding habits. The hook-tipped beak of seagulls, for example, and especially of carnivorous seagulls, is well suited to seizing and tearing. The beaks of some species, such as the white terns and sea parrots living by the shores of the Atlantic, however, have a structure permitting them to dive and catch fish while carrying others. The variety among birds of the same type is a means whereby we can come to know the matchless artistry of Almighty Allah (swt).

The human nose undertakes the responsibility to warm and moisturize the air we inhale. The mucus layer covering the interior surface of the nose releases water vapor to moisture the air that enters. The large numbers of capillaries immediately beneath the mucus layer also warm the passing air, adapting it to the sensitive structure of the lungs. This mechanism resembles the air conditioning system that regulates the levels of temperature and humidity in buildings. The processes summarized in outline here are in fact exceedingly complex.


The eye is linked to the brain by some 600,000 nerves, which receive and arrange 1.5 million messages at one single moment and send them to the brain at a speed of 500 kilometers an hour. When you look at a single point you actually see hundreds of details. Miraculously, the eye distinguishes these from all the messages reaching it, analyzes and forwards each of them to the brain.	The behavior of worker honeybees is consistent and purposeful. While one bee readies cells for eggs, another moves across the combs to attend the queen and a third forages. Each worker bee knows what to do and how to do it by the inspiration of Almighty Allah (swt).

Enzymes have been charged with accelerating reactions. They can accelerate a reaction by up to billion times. Were it not for that speed, the reading of this sentence would last 1,500 years. Indeed, in the time it takes you to read this sentence, many reactions that keep you alive would be waiting, and cells, unaware of one another and inactive, would one by one start to die. However, thanks to a flawless creation, this does not happen, and enzymes fully discharge their duties.

Orchids employ various methods to reproduce. Some, for example, do not produce nectar, only the smell of it. They thus deceive bees taken in by that perfume, where there is actually no nectar at all, and make them carry their pollen away. There is absolutely no doubt that the way a plant is able to reproduce the scent of nectar without in reality manufacturing any in order to have its pollen carried off is not a phenomenon that takes place due to the consciousness of these plants themselves. Like all other life forms, plants, devoid of any mind or consciousness, act under the inspiration of Allah (swt).


Sea swallows that live by the North Pole beat their wings constantly on an annual flight of 30,000-40,000 kilometers they make every year. These birds live at the North Pole, and every year they migrate from their breeding grounds in North America, Greenland and Siberia and head straight for the North Pole for the winter.	Have you ever wondered how it is that fish living in the icy polar waters do not freeze? These fish have a gene to produce a protein that raises the temperature of the ice crystals in their skin up to -20 degrees Celsius. This protein bonds to the oxygen molecules in the ice crystals, preventing them from expanding, and thus stopping the fish freezing.

A pictorial reconstruction of Confuciusornis (above)

Confuciusornis
Period: Mesozoic Age, Cretaceous
Age: 120 million years
Location: China

The theory of evolution claims that birds evolved from small theropod dinosaurs-in other words, from reptiles. The fact is, however, that anatomical comparisons between birds and reptiles refute this claim, as does the fossil record. The fossil pictured belongs to an extinct species of bird known as Confuciusornis, the first specimen of which was discovered in China in 1995. Confuciusornis bears a close resemblance to present-day birds and has demolished the scenario of avian evolution.

A present-day specimen of hornbeam leaf

Period: Eocene
Age: 54-37 million years
Location: Cache Creek
Formation, British Columbia, Canada

Hornbeams of some 30 to 40 different species occur across much of the North Temperate regions, with the greatest number of species in East Asia, particularly China. A few species occur in Europe and North America. Fossil findings reveal that hornbeams alive today and those that lived tens of millions of years ago were no different. Hornbeams challenge Darwinist claims and proclaim Creation as an obvious fact.

A present-day ginkgo leaf

Ginkgo Leaf
Period: Eocene
Age: 54-37 million years
Location: Cache Creek
Formation, British Columbia, Canada

One piece of evidence invalidating the scenario of plants' evolution is the ginkgo leaf pictured, which is approximately 50 million years old. This fossil shows that ginkgos have not originated from another plant or transformed into another species. This places evolutionists in a deadlock.

The illustrations below show present-day cones no different from the fossil specimen.

Pine Cone
Period: Cenozoic era, Paleogene subperiod
Age: 65-23 million years
Location: Germany

The structure of cones, organs on conifers that contain the plant's ovaries, has remained the same for millions of years, as with the structures of all other living species. This cone, 65 to 23 million years old, and identical ones of our day are one of the important examples revealing that throughout these long ages, evolution has never occurred.

Below: Present-day specimens

Horseshoe Crab
Period: Mesozoic era, Jurassic period
Age: 150 million years
Location: Solnhofen Limestone, Germany

Horseshoe crabs belong to a subphylum of the arachnids called Chelicerata, and are more closely related to spiders and scorpions. The 150-million-year-old fossil of a horseshoe crab shown here demonstrates once again that Creation is a fact and that the process of evolution never occurred.

There is no difference between the sturgeon in the picture to the side and the 144-million-year-old fossil sturgeon above.

Sturgeon
Period: Mesozoic era, Jurassic period
Age: 144-65 million years
Location: China

The sturgeons, of which only two families remain in existence, have always been sturgeons. They have neither developed from, nor turned into any other species. Fossil finds corroborate the fact that like all other creatures, sturgeons have never undergone any process of evolution.

One of the fossils that demonstrate the clear fact of Creation is shown here: the nearly 150-million-year-old remains of a shrimp, which is no different from its present-day counterparts.

Shrimp
Period: Mesozoic era, Jurassic period
Age: 150 million years
Location: Solnhofen Limestone, Germany

Another scientific discovery showing that there was no process of evolution, as the Darwinists claim, is the fossilized shrimp illustrated here. Since shrimp first came into existence, they have always displayed all the same organs and characteristics as they have today and have undergone no changes in all that time. This shrimp fossil shows plainly that evolution is an imaginary scenario.

Right: Present-day crabs

Crab
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37-23 million years
Location: Denmark

The fossil record is sufficiently rich to account for the origin of life, and it reveals a concrete picture: Different species all emerged independently of one another, suddenly, and with all their different structures. No imaginary evolutionary "intermediate forms" existed among them. This is one of the proofs that Almighty Allah (swt) created all living creatures.

Right: An assassin bug living today

Assassin Bug
Period: Cenozoic era, Oligocene - Miocene epochs Age: 25 million years
Location: Dominican Republic

Assassin bugs are predatory insects of the Reduviidea family. Some of the species are able to transmit to humans a fatal malady known as Chagas' disease. It is this very insect that poisoned Darwin and caused him to spend the rest of his life in pain. This species uses its antenna to inject its poison and liquefies its victim's tissues.

To the side can be seen a present-day stick insect.

Stick Insect
Period: Eocene
Age: 45 million years
Location: Russia

The stick insects are known for their ponderously slow movements and superb camouflage. With their long bodies, antennae and colors, they do indeed resemble slender twigs. Animals that use various forms of camouflage enjoy special protection with their bodily structures, shapes, colors and patterns, all created to match the environments they inhabit.

Squid
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Location: Lebanon

Darwin knew that his theory could be verified only by the fossil record, for which reason he pinned great hopes on paleontological research. Yet no intermediate-form fossil has been found over the 150 or so years since Darwin's day. So his claims have never been confirmed. Fossils have buried Darwin's theory of evolution, whose invalidity is now a proven fact. One such fossil is this 95-million-year-old fossil squid, identical to living present-day specimens.

Seen from beneath with its perfect details the fossil turtle (top right) is no different from present-day turtles (top left).

Turtle
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37-23 million years
Location: Brule Formation, Nebraska, USA

The 37- to 23-million-year-old fossil turtle seen here is no different from turtles alive now, in all its perfect detail. Faced with these proofs, there's one important fact that evolutionists ought to accept. David B. Kitts, an evolutionist in the department of Geology and Geophysics at Oklahoma University, says that "Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not provide them." (David B. Kitts, "Paleontology and Evolutionary Theory," Evolution, Vol. 28, September 1974, p. 467)
