Allah created every living creature from water
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
I am sharing an ayah below and my reflection on it. If it is beneficial then all praise to Allah. All the shortcoming are due to me. Oh Allah guide us, forgive us and have mercy on us. Ameen.

Surah An-Noor, Verse 45:
وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَابَّةٍ مِّن مَّاءٍ فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ بَطْنِهِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ أَرْبَعٍ يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
And Allah has created from water every living creature: so of them is that which walks upon its belly, and of them is that which walks upon two feet, and of them is that which walks upon four; Allah creates what He pleases; surely Allah has power over all things.

This ayah reminds me the importance of water that creation of every living creature is dependant on water and it also reminds me the reality of me. SubhanAllah. And then Allah mentioned His different creations from same kind of substance, that is water.
Some of His creations walk on their bellies like snakes, crocodiles, worms etc.
Some of His creations walk on two foot like human beings, birds etc.
Some of His creations walk on four foot like cattle, wild animals etc.
What do I learn here? Allah creates all living creatures from same kind of substance and yet they are all different in their benefits, properties, look, feelings, intellect, speed. SubhanAllah.
Furthermore Allah creates what He wills. If I believe Allah is الحكيم All Wise then there is wisdom in creating all different kind of living creatures too. Allah o Akbar. I know that life cycle read in science books will not be complete if anyone of Allah's creation is not there. So every creation of Allah has a purpose. I don't have the knowledge of many of His creations. To understand the purpose of each of His creation i need to ponder and ask for His guidance. But one thing this ayah reminded me is that all His creations might have different abilities like He mentioned difference in walking styles.
So I need to accept the differences in abilities of human beings as well. Some have high intellect, some have low intellect, some walk slow, some walk fast, some can hardly walk. I need to respect every human being inshaAllah, I need to understand every human being has a purpose. I make an intention to learn from every human being.
I make an intention to ponder on every creation of Allah and I make an intention to praise Allah for creating it because each one of His creation is benefiting me in some way. Alhamdolillah.
