In its first sixteen verses, the surah al ghashiyah ( the overwhelming event) declares the abasement of unbelievers at Resurrection and the favors to be bestowed on the Faithful. verses 17 through 20 give examples of the divine order and the marvels of Allah's creativity. The first of these is the creation of the Camel. This implies that some secrets of divine wisdom are present even in the genesis of the Camel. Further some, these mysteries constitute an open reply to atheists, informing how they will be confronted with their errors on Judgement Day

The Camel has very interesting biological properties:

1. All organisms exchange vitamins with each other, animals in particular obtaining vitamins from plants. The Camel, on the other hand, produces its own vitamins.

2. Water molecules remain for 7-14 days in the bodies of all animals, and if they cannot be replaced by fresh molecules the organism is condemned to death. Experiments with radioactive tritium have revealed this fact. In the Camel, the water molecule preserves its inscrutable ionic property for 50 days on end.

3. It has a memory storage system unlike that of any other animal. It never forgets what it sees, producing, as it were, a map of the path life.

4. A creature living in the desert should be harsh and devoid of all sentiments, but on the contrary, Camel is an extraordinarily sensitive and submissive animal, in spite of its large size.

Among the many virtues of the Camel, there are two important moral qualities:

1. Its Patience: among all animals, the quality of patience can be found only nin the camel. The reason why the sacred verse gives the camel as an example right after the section on Paradise is in order to emphasis the importance of the ultimate reward of patience.

2. Its musical ear, which delights in beautiful sounds coming from the environment, or in the

voice of a human being.

Islam considers that all creatures, and especially living beings, have been created in the service of man.
