THE HUMAN MIRACLE

O man! What has deluded you in respect of your Noble Lord?
He Who created you and formed you and proportioned
you and assembled you in whatever way He willed.
(Surat al-Infitar:6-8)


This book will send you on a journey inside your own body, a journey on which a great many surprises await you. You will discover that in your heart, there is a generator, and that when it cuts out, a spare generator steps in to replace it. You will see how cells in your lower intestine can recognize and trap iron atoms from among the many hundreds of different substances they encounter. You will witness miraculous events that have been taking place since the day you were born throughout what you refer to as “my body,” starting right beneath your skin.
From that point of view, your human body is a whole other world, with its own modes of transport, buildings, factories, infrastructure systems, equipment more highly advanced than even the most sophisticated technology in the 21st-century world, specialized elements (cells, hormones, glands) that exhibit unexpectedly conscious behavior, fully equipped defense troops, and many other marvels.
It is most important that we consider the events that take place inside this miniaturized world, because anyone who starts thinking about them will start liberating himself from a great illusion. It will no longer be possible to deceive with evolutionary tales of how Man came into being by chance those who have witnessed the perfect creation in their own bodies. They will have now made the acquaintance of their own Creator, Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
You, reading this book, will once again encounter an incontrovertible truth. Allah created you from nothing and shaped you flawlessly. In return, what you must do is to know that when you rise in the morning, every new day bestowed upon you, is a blessing from Allah, and to give thanks to Him.
