ious places in the body. That will cause edemas and injuries
from burst veins, if not gangrene. Since insufficient blood
returns to the heart, the amount of oxygenated blood will be
very low, and clean, oxygenated blood sent by the heart will
be insufficient for nourishing the body. If this imbalance per-
sists, the organs will begin to die.
Considering the importance of the equal amount of blood
coming and going, you can clearly see that this is a perfect bal-
ance specially created by God, in His name as The Giver of
Life (Al-Muhee). As we examine everything in detail, we
become better acquainted with God, our Creator, and can
comprehend His might. It shows us that we owe God for
everything. For all the blessings created by God, a person
must praise Him constantly and live for His approval. The
unbelievers seek for alternative explanations for the signs of
creation in living things, and with those explanations, think
that they can make others deny the existence of God and His
creation. However, God is the Superior, the Powerful, the
Mighty and the Unconquerable. This fact is stated in a verse:
God has written, "I will be victorious, I and My messen-
gers." God is Most Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Mujadala:
21)
After its journey in the veins, blood returns to the heart to
be transported to the lungs, where the transported carbon
dioxide will be dropped off. The only veins in the body that
carry oxygen-rich blood are the pulmonary veins. When we
examine the "pulmonary circulation" in the body, you will
better understand why the pulmonary veins assume
such a different responsibility.
