THE MIRACLE OF THE
BLOOD AND HEART
Rhesus negative pregnant woman will produce antibodies to the
Rhesus positive fetal blood. These antibodies do no harm to the
first baby. However, any second baby with the Rhesus factor is
subjected to attack by these antibodies, now ready and waiting in
the mother's bloodstream. The antibodies target the baby and
destroy its fresh erythrocytes. Anemia and heart diseases manifest
themselves. The baby may well be stillborn, and even if it is born
alive, toxic bilirubin will have formed in its body as a result of the
breaking down of its red blood cells. This substance generally
damages the brain and gives rise to mental impairments, or even
death. 80
It became possible to understand the nature of blood only in
the last century. Yet blood has been flowing in the veins of every
human being who has ever lived, discharging its duties and car-
rying various materials, factors and molecules. That human
beings cannot even fully comprehend this miracle should increase
their submission to and adoration of God.
God is the Almighty, superior to all things, Who has the power
to perform all that He desires. He is the Shaper, the Giver of Form
(Al-Musawwir). He is the Safeguarder (Al-Muhaymin), the Protector.
And God is the Supremely Great (Al-Mutakabbir), He Who reveals
His might in all places and events. We must appreciate Him prop-
erly, and see and understand the names of our Lord in the things
He has created, and must turn to Him. Those who turn to Him will
reap the benefit in this world and in the Hereafter. In one verse God
reveals:

He is God—there is no god but Him. He is the King, the Most
Pure, the Perfect Peace, the Trustworthy, the Safeguarder, the
Almighty, the Compeller, the Supremely Great. Glory be to
God above all they associate with Him. (Surat al-Hashr:
23)
