Blood: The Incomparable
Liquid of Life

the body, as well as the molecules that combat them inside the
body, are all the products of a single Creator. The bacteria are
clearly aware of the kind of dangers they will face. The body's
cells, on the other hand, have taken precautions against bacte-
ria that might enter the body, long before they ever do so. This,
of course, is just one of the instances created by Almighty God,
Lord and Absolute Ruler of the universe, to reveal the truth of
His creation. He reveals this truth in verses:
Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of humanity, the King of
humanity, the God of humanity ..." (Surat an-Nas: 1-3)
Exalted be God, the King, the Real. There is no god but
Him, Lord of the Noble Throne. (Surat al-Muminun: 116)
AIDS, a fatal disease for which no cure has yet been found,
is another important example of how both aggressor and
defender are the work of a single Creator. The HIV virus
which causes the disease enters the body with a tactic already
planned against the body's defense mechanism. It knows
what it will be fighting against in a body it has never seen
before. For that reason, the moment it enters the body, rather
than concealing itself like other viruses in any random cell, it
enters the helper T-cell charged with directly eliminating
intruders in the body and reporting this to the other defense
elements. It damages the cell and prevents it from reporting
the danger. A system whose elements have been damaged no
longer functions as effectively as before. As a result, the body
is no longer in a position to combat even a simple flu infection.
Due to the HIV's damaging effect on the immune system,
even a flu virus can prove deadly.
