A Wonderful Messenger:
Nitric Oxide

(Qur'an, 25: 2) Although this molecule has no sense organs, intelligence,
consciousness, education or technical training, the fact that it can regu-
late the operations of cells, make and carry out on its own initiative deli-
cate and necessary decisions relative to the human body, comes from
God's superior and incomparable design.
All this information has been obtained during the last decade of the
twentieth century as a result of intense research by scientists who are

considered authorities in this field. Certainly, all the things unknown
about NO cannot be brought to light just by the work of individual
researchers; there are other factors that must be considered. States and
international foundations have spent enormous amounts of money on
scientific work in this field and have established laboratories with tools
that are the product of the latest technology.
Certainly, the fact that the wonders of creation contained in this
messenger molecule have been discovered only after so much work and
effort is another demonstration of the superior knowledge of God.
