Microorganisms according to the Quran

There is no specific mention of "microorganisms" in the Quran, as the concept of microorganisms was not known during the time of its revelation. However, there are verses that can be interpreted to refer to the existence of microorganisms:

"He is the One Who has created all living things from water. Some of them crawl on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some walk on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Surely Allah has power over everything." [Quran 24:45]

This verse acknowledges that all living things are created by Allah, and mentions the existence of creatures that crawl on their bellies, walk on two legs, and walk on four. It can be interpreted to include microorganisms that are not visible to the naked eye and move in various ways.

"In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for people of understanding. Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and ponder over the creation of the heavens and the earth, saying, ‘Our Lord! You have not created all this without purpose. Glory be to You! Save us from the punishment of the Fire." [Quran 3:190-191]

This verse encourages people to reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth as a sign of Allah's power and wisdom. Microorganisms, being part of this creation, can also be considered as a sign of Allah's greatness and a subject of contemplation.

It is important to note that while the Quran does not mention microorganisms explicitly, it encourages Muslims to seek knowledge and understanding of the natural world, including microorganisms, in order to appreciate the wisdom and power of Allah's creation.
