Abstract
Miracles in the female mosquito: In averse of the Qur’an
God is not ashamed to make an example of a female mosquito or of even smaller things. As for those who believe, they know they say, “What does God mean by this example?” He misguides many by it and guides many by it. But He only misguides the deviators. (Qur’an, 2:26)
The Tenth World Conference on Scientific Signs in the Qur’an and Sunnah
Introduction:
The mosquitoes belong to order Diptera, which consider one of the largest orders of Class Insecta. There are three suborders in this order these are: Nematocera, Brachyera and Cyclorrhapha. Mosquitoes are distributed in tropical and sub tropical regions. There are about 3000 species of mosquitoes. The female mosquito feed an blood of human and animals, while male feed on sugar.
Aim of the research:
To clarify the miracle in female mosquito which represented by the different relationships between mosquito and other organisms, either smaller or larger than mosquito, as stated in the Holly Qur’an (Al Baqara (the Cow) verse: 26).
Different scientific Miracles in the female mosquito:
The verse stated mosquito as female only. The discovery of the role of a female mosquito in the diseases transmission was happen in eighteenth century, while Qur’an was told to prophet Muhammed (Pbuh) from ALLAH by Gebreel in the sixth century, on the other hand male mosquito has no role in diseases transmission, because female mosquito feed on blood of human or animals while male mosquito feed
on sugar only. Who told prophot Muhammed (pbuh), that female mosquito is concerned with diseases transmission. Although in those early years there are no laboratories, scientists in Entomology, Microbiology and other branches of Science in the Arabian Desert.
The verse stated that: God is not ashamed to make an example of a female mosquito or even smaller organisms.
Why ALLAH not ashamed?, the present author found a complicated relationships between a female mosquito and smaller organisms live either inside or outside mosquito. These organisms were bacteria, viruses, malaria parasites, while those live outside mosquito were mites or fungi. The bacteria were found to secrete antimicrobial agents against other pathogenic agents that transmit diseases to human. Thus they play a very important role in protecting human against the diseases transmitted to human by these pathogens. We can consider the gut of mosquito as a factory synthesizing drugs against different disease caused by mosquito. This fact was discovered from the complicated relationship between a female mosquito and other smaller organisms live inside it, who told prophet Muhammed (Pbuh) about this fact, we must remember (God not ashamed to make the example of a female mosquito or even smaller organisms).
