The Wonderful Creations of Allah

                  The Pigeon
Allah Ta'ala says : ''Do they not see the
birds held (flying) in the midst of the
sky? None holds them but Allah (none
gave them the ability to fly but Allah).
Verily, in this are clear proofs and signs
for people who believe (in the oneness
of Allah).''

                                     

The pigeon is one of the most amazingly      

guided animals.The carrier pigeon is the    

one which brings messages and letters and 

may be worth  more than a slave, for the 

service that it provides cannot be carried 

out by slaves or by any other kinds of 

creature, as it is able to carry and bring

news and messages able to carry and bring 

       news and messages across great distances.   

                                          

pigeons can be trained. When they get used 

to a place, they will stay there and remain 

loyal to their owner, even if he mistreats

them. They will return there from long

distances, and if they are prevented from

doing so, they will remain loyal even if 

ten years have passed since they left their 

homeland, and as soon as they get an opportunity and they are able to do so

they go back.   

Among the wonders of the way in which

the pigeon is inspired is that when it is 

carrying a message, it follows remote 

routes, far from cities where people are 

to be found, so that no one will be able

to stop it. It does not look for water 

among people; rather it looks for 

water in places where people do

not go.

Male and female pigeons share out their

duties towards the chicks. caring for and

raising the chick is done by the female,

and bringing food and feeding it to the 

chick are done by the male. The father

is the head of the family who provides

for them, and the mother is the one

who nurses the young.
