Biting the prey
The mosquito doesn't just have a superior receptive system and a cutting and sucking mechanism to get the blood it needs; it also has chemical knowledge. As explained above, the mosquito uses a secretion, which prevents the blood from coagulating. What's more, this secretion protects it from an enzyme in the defence system of a body unknown to it and of which it has no intimate knowledge. This secretion even has the property of anaesthetising the living tissues it cuts like a surgeon.
In light of this information one can't help asking these questions:
How does the mosquito know that blood coagulates?
How has it learnt that cutting into the living tissue of its victim causes pain and how has it developed a numbing technique to get round this problem?
- Giving a local anaesthetic before an operation is a technique that has been developed with the help of medical knowledge. How has the mosquito acquired this knowledge?
- Since it is extremely difficult to synthesise this fluid even under laboratory conditions, how has the mosquito acquired it?
- Is it pure coincidence that this fluid is to be found exactly where it is most needed in the cutting knives that will rupture the skin?
- How can it be explained that there is an excellent mechanism in a tube that is 0.1 cm (0.03 inch) in length with a radius of approximately 0.01 cm (0.003 inch) found in a creature no more than a centimetre long, and that every mosquito without exception has always had such a system and knowledge?
The answer is obvious: The mosquito cannot be the genius with information on the chemical composition of the human body that evaluates this information and develops solutions in its own body. It is evident that the system that enables this secretion to exist in the mosquito and to be injected into the veins of its preys can only be the creation of a Supreme Creator Who has the most detailed knowledge of the anatomy of both humans and mosquitoes.

1) The mosquito cuts tissue with a cutting system consisting of 6 knives. In the process of cutting, the secretion poured into the wound from one of the cutters numbs the tissue and the victim is not even aware that his blood is being sucked. The secretion also prevents the blood from clotting and enables the blood sucking to continue. |
2) The abdomen starts to fill with blood. |
3) Eventually the mosquito’s abdomen fills with blood equivalent to more than its own body weight. |
It is revealed in the Qur'an that our Lord is the "Lord of the worlds." "World" is used in the plural sense to mean "different worlds, different dimensions or different orders and systems." The word "Lord" encompasses meanings such as "educator, rearer, organizer, law-giver, master." The incredibly difficult "operation" that the mosquito carries out in the human body is a small world within it. The author of the superior "design" in this world, the details of which we are unaware and are only just beginning to discover by means of science, is our Lord, God.
The duty of man, who can easily be defeated even by this little creature, is to try to see the signs God created in different worlds, and to acknowledge the might of the Lord, as it behoves Him. God calls on man to reflect on this subject in verses of the Qur'an as follows:
Humanity! An example has been made, so listen to it carefully. Those whom you call upon besides God are not even able to create a single fly, even if they were to join together to do it. And if a fly steals something from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are both the seeker and the sought! They do not render to God the homage due to Him. Yet God is Powerful, Almighty. (Qur'an, 22:73-74)
