Ayat 73 states:
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا لَهُ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَيْئًا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالْمَطْلُوبُ
You, the living humanity; an example has made the equation evident, therefore you people be attentive to listen. It is a fact that those, whom you people call, apart from Allah, will never ever be able to create housefly even if they all rallied together/made a collective effort for that purpose. [What to say of creating housefly] Moreover, if a housefly takes/snatches away something from their front they all cannot recover that thing from that housefly. The seeker and the sought are thus proved feeble. [22:73]
It is not in the example that the man cannot catch or kill a housefly. The impossibility quoted is that of creating housefly and taking/recovering back what he has snatched/taken and moved away. Today we can catch and see the housefly in thousands of larger than original size and could see the particle taken by him and could recover it. However, Grand Qur'aan informs us that we will never be able to recover it from housefly. A housefly keeps exposing our frailty the world over.
The Housefly has a soft proboscis, a trunk as organ that branches into a two-lobed tip and has a spongy pad called a labellum. A specific feature of the housefly is the way they "digest" food. Unlike many other living organisms, flies "digest" food not through it's mouth, but outside of their body. The spongy pad [labellum] dribbles saliva onto the thing they want to take away. It contains enzymes that breaks down the thing they want to take away and dissolves/liquefies it. As soon, it happens the proboscis comes into play on the wet surface and the fluid’s suction is by means of capillary action and a bellows like pump in their head. He sucks up our thing from our front, stows away the pad and moves on. We will never be able to out wit the housefly and get back our "property" he has snatched.
Does not this proven frailty of ours and of those whom we keep calling suggest us to submit and be exclusively allegiant and sincere to the Creator of the Housefly and wholeheartedly accept His Words permanently written in the Grand Qur'aan?
Certainly, this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one, which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [56:95]
