16:68
And thy Lord taught the Bee to build its cells in hills, on
trees, and in (men’s) habitations;see 87:3
16:69
Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with
skill the spacious paths of its Lord:there
issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours,
wherein is healing for men: verily in this is
a Sign for those who give thought.
16:70
It is Allah who creates you and takes your souls at death;
and of you there are some who are sent back
to a feeble age, so that they know nothing after having
known (much): for Allah is All-Knowing, All-
Powerful.
Besides the mystery and beauty of the many
processes going on in the working of Allah’s Creation,
there is the wonderful life of man himself on this earth;
how he is created as a child;
how he grows in intelligence and knowledge; and
how his soul is taken back and his body suffers
dissolution.
In some cases he lives so long that he falls into a feeble
old age like a second childhood; he forgets
what he learnt and seems almost to go back in Time. Is
not all this wonderful, and evidence of the
Knowledge and Power of Allah?
