"You're right, Aisha," it said. "I am a porcupine and I could have hurt you with my spikes even without wanting to."

"Allah gave me these spikes to protect myself from my enemies" explained the porcupine. "When I'm in danger I roll up like a ball and the spikes protect me."
"I know some animals go to sleep during the winter. Do you?" she asked her new friend.

The Qur'an says this: 'Among His Signs is your sleep by night and day and your seeking after His bounty. There are certainly Signs in that for people who hear.' (Surat ar-Rum: 23)"

Aisha thought for a moment: "In a documentary I saw you fighting fearlessly with a huge lion. How come you're not afraid of lions?"
Her friend replied: "Because of these spikes on my body, which Allah has given me as a blessing, I can set myself fearlessly against even the most dangerous of my enemies. When a lion attacks I first run away quickly. I suddenly stop in a good place, raise the back part of my body a little and point my spikes at it. If the lion tries to catch me with his teeth, my spines sink into his mouth and cheeks and open wounds which cannot be healed."

"You're right, brother porcupine," agreed Aisha, as she had a closer look at the spines on its body.
"Every time I look at animals and the variety of what Allah has created, it helps me to see His greatness and the wonder of His creation. Thank you for the pleasant chat," she said, as she went back to join her family before they began wondering where she had got to.
"Goodbye, my friend," cried the porcupine.
