CICHLIDS THE MARVELOUS FISH

           

CICHLID THE MARVELOUS FISH

       Sixty species of fauna have been found only at Cuatro Cienegas, 10,000 years old ponds in Chihuahua desert in Mexico. Among the animals  are 16 species of fish.       Eight species of fish are indigenous of Cuatro Cienegas and not found anywhere else on earth. Grall, G.,Nat Geo.10/1995). 
    In the aquarium cichlids fan the sandy floor with their fins to make nests. They often swallow their fry to protect their generations from danger. This behavior is normal among cichlids.

 

Special behavior of the cichlid of Cienegas is that they often digging the floor sand with their heads until only half of the body is visible. What are they doing? 

Cichlids know that rice size snails lived abundantly beneath the floor. This behavior is not found anywhere elsa. Allah (Glory Be To Allah) informs the cichlid of their feed. See pictue.

  

    Cichlids are originated from Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria Lakes in Africa where 500 to 1000  varieties of that fish are found (Reinthal, P. & B. Curtsinger, Nat. Geo. Mag., 05/1990). Nobody know how the cichlids reached Mexico.

     In the hard debate between angry Pharaoh of Egypt and Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) about 3000 b.C. was explained in the Qur'an. Pharaoh in luxurious robe and magnificent throne with his ministers and officials wearing expensive clothes and  gold ornaments, underestimated Moses (Peace Be Upon Him)who wore modest and simple clothes. Pharaoh, who proclaimed himself as a god, asked Moses: 

 

"...And who is your Lord?". Moses' answer was revealed by Allah (Glory to Allah) in the Qur''an: 


 He said:"Our Lord is Who gave to each (created) thing its form and nature, and futher, gave (it) guidance" 

Qur'an, Thaahaa (20):50

 

       With the finding of cell nucleus, chromosome and dioxyribonucleicacid (DNA) of living things, the scientific explanations of those the surah in the Qur'an become more explainable. The kinds of the species are determined by the number of chromosomes. 

The shape of creatures' organs and cell structures, physiological reactions within their cells,  and cell's functions are determined by the DNAs. 

 

       Allah's commands and guidance to plants, animals and human organs are written by Lord in the form of DNAs  which are understood by every biological cells on earth. No creatures' cells on earth disobey their DNA's orders. 

    But besides that, guidance to man who have ears, eyes, brains, consciesness  and capable of talking are also in the form of words to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Them). The words were written as the Holy Books.
