﴿ وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَآبَّةٍۢ مِّن مَّآءٍۢ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَىٰ بَطْنِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَىٰ رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَىٰٓ أَرْبَعٍۢ ۚ يَخْلُقُ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ ﴾

“And it is God who has created all animals out of water; and [He has willed that] among them are such as crawl on their bellies, and such as walk on two legs, and such as walk on four. God creates what He will: for, verily, God has the power to will anything.”

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. فَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَى بَطْنِهِ (Of them there are some that creep on their bellies,) like snakes and so on; وَمِنهُمْ مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَى رِجْلَيْنِ (and some that walk on two legs,) like humans and birds; وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَمْشِى عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ (and some that walk on four,) like cattle and all kinds of animals. Allah says: يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ (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 عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (Verily, Allah is able to do all things.)
