A Matchless Security System
Some creatures living near the surface of water are susceptible to dangers both from above the water and from beneath. These creatures have an amazing security feature; they are transparent. As you can see in the pictures, they go unnoticed by their enemies. Likewise, crab, shrimp and fish larvae are created almost completely transparent.
Obviously these creatures could not possibly have considered the environment they lived in and then adopted an appropriate color. Besides, how would these animals know that they needed to be protected? How could they be aware of the presence of predators and conclude that they would not be noticed if they were transparent?
Allah, Who creates everything perfectly, created these little defenseless creatures with a perfect structure. Allah watches over and protects all things. Our compassionate Lord created a particular way of protection for each being. And these creatures are protected from predators by virtue of their transparency. Allah creates all creatures completely and perfectly. 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 dazzled and exhausted! (Surat al-Mulk: 3-4)
