INTRODUCTION
Dear children,
In this book, we will discover the marvels of
creation in the living beings surrounding us. In the following
pages, you will set out on a joyful journey in the company
of many loveable living beings who will amaze you with their
many interesting and astonishing characteristics.
While
reading this book, you will see that Allah has created all
living beings in perfect forms and that all of them are only
manifestations of Allah's infinite beauty, power and knowledge.
"Do you know all the animals?" We can hear you
saying, "Not really. Only some of them." Do you know about
these creatures' lives? Do you know how they are born? How
they live? How they protect themselves and find food? You
probably have no idea about most of the details of these animals'
lives. But don't worry! As you read this book, you will learn
astounding things about them and be amazed at the various
perfections and fine qualities Allah has given these living
creatures.
You are already acquainted with many animals.
But in this book, you will also get to know some other animals'
secret and marvellous worlds, which you have most probably
never heard about or seen. You will like them very much. As
you continue reading, you will be amazed at the way these
animals can accomplish some of the tasks they do. You will
see ostriches - the fastest runners in the world, tigers -
some of the best sprinters, sharp-teethed squirrels, eye-catching
peacocks and, as you meet them, you will come to know them
better. Meanwhile, keep in mind that these are only some of
the animals that exist in the world… Our planet abounds with
countless other animal species.
While
seeing the beauties of these creatures, keep in mind that
Allah, the Creator of all these creatures, only wants us to
think about the infinite might and art in His creation, recognise
that He has created everything and that He is the owner of
every living being. He also wants us to see the beauty in
these living creatures, to take pleasure from their beauty
and thereby love Allah and be grateful to Him because He has
created all these splendid creatures.
The creation of all the universe, all the lovely
animals, plants, night and day and everything surrounding
you serves a single purpose: to come to be able to see the
sublime and flawless creation of Allah. The purpose is simply
to make us, human beings, say, "How graciously Allah has created!"
Reading The World of Animals will provide this outlook on
the living creatures you see around you.
Are you ready? Now, turn the page and embark
on The World of Animals! There is a whole world of wonderful
animals waiting for you inside!
