Q413 This question is with reference to verse (67:19): Is the flying of birds not among the special signs of God’s power? Which movements of birds are miraculous? Why do domestic birds not fly?
A413
- Why not? Particularly since the holy Qur’an specifically mentions it.
- Birds flying upwards by cleaving the ocean of air is truly amazing.
- It is very astonishing to see heavy birds flying with their wings spread. The characteristic of flight, in fact, is hidden in the soul of birds.
- The domestic cock and duck have lost the capacity of flight, because they have been brought from the freedom of the wild to the home of human beings and imprisoned there. This is an allusion to humankind that they used to fly in paradise, but this power has vanished after coming to this world.
