Surah An-Nur Ayah 45

Allah has created every moving creature from water. Of them there are some that creep on their bellies, and some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Verily, Allah is able to do all things (45)

Allah's Power in His Creation of the Animals

Allah mentions His complete and almighty power to create all the different kinds of animals with their various forms, colors and ways of moving and stopping, from one kind of water.

فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ بَطْنِهِ

(Of them there are some that creep on their bellies,) like snakes and so on;

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ رِجْلَيْنِ

(and some that walk on two legs,) like humans and birds;

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ أَرْبَعٍ

(and some that walk on four,) like cattle and all kinds of animals. Allah says:

يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ

(Allah creates what He wills.) meaning by His power, because what He wills happens and what He does not will does not happen. So he says:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

(Verily, Allah is able to do all things.)
