A life… yet unknown to us

There exists living beings we know nothing about, save what Allah,
all glory be to Him, has told us. Angels are creatures of light, which
we neither see nor hear. The jinn are creatures of fire, which we
neither see nor hear, unless materialized. The Truth, Blessed and
Exalted be He, warns us against Satan through the glorious verse
saying (what means):
“Verily, he and Qabîluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe)
see you from where you cannot see them.” (Al-A‘râf, 7: 27)

But we wonder: how can we believe in the existence of species and
things that we do not see?
The answer is that man’s perception of a thing is not the sole means
whereby its existence is proved. Moreover, there are things that exist
but we do not perceive their existence. In other words, the existence of
a thing is independent of our awareness of such an existence.
Therefore, Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, has prepared for the
revelation of the things that we now perceive their existence, but we
were ignorant of them in the past.
For instance, if you looked at a drop of water, you would see nothing,
but if you put this drop of water under the microscope you would
perceive life in it and bodies moving. Look at a drop of blood, you
would see nothing in it, but if you sent it to the laboratory, it would
report to you multitude of things it contains: as the red and white
blood cells, the hemoglobin, besides other things. Furthermore, the
microbe that penetrates the body is so minute but we can observe it in
blood and specify its type.
Modern sciences have allowed us to learn from the secrets of the
heavens what we have not known before. Everyday, we disclose new
secrets, unknown planets and stars. Have these things been created the
moment we discovered them. The answer is no, they definitely have
preexisted, performing their role ever since in the universe.
The microbes, which the modern microscopes have allowed us to see,
count and categorize, have preexisted and inflicted people with
diseases but none knew a thing about them until these microscopes
that magnify things by hundreds of thousands of times emerged. So,
we discovered that there exists a stupendous life we know nothing
about. A life that includes reproduction, multiplication and is
governed by laws, but so minute that you cannot see even though the
microbes penetrate your body, inflict you with fever and may cause
your death.
For instance, the laser rays that specify distances so accurately and we
use in agriculture, surgery and many other fields, is man the one
behind their existence in the universe? Of course not, they were
created since eternity and have kept performing their role precisely,
but we have discovered them only a few years ago.
