Lysosomal enzymes serve again and again at different times in
very different regions of the body. During pregnancy, the growth of the
womb is a result of cell multiplication. This ability while the baby is still
developing is a life-saving and miraculous development. However, this
cell multiplication needs to come to an end after birth, and the body
must return to its former state—which is where lysosomal enzymes
come in. The lysosomes of specific cells are alerted and start manufac-
turing enzymes, as if they literally knew what they need to do. Then
over the next 10 days, they carry out a large process of destruction, re-
sulting in a 40-fold reduction in the size of the mother's womb.

The destructive effects of lysosomal enzymes are also required for
fertilization. When the sperm cell reaches the ovum, it employs the de-
structive lysosomal enzymes it carries with it to pierce the sheath sur-
rounding the egg. Thanks to these enzymes, the sperm can enter and
fertilize the egg.
Since all the processes in the body occur at the molecular level,
perhaps you may never have imagined that the body could also contain
waste products. In fact, however, cells are constantly dying as the hu-
man body renews itself and in its constant fight against bacteria and
viruses—and waste products are constantly emerging. If allowed to ac-
cumulate, these might cause poisoning of cells, congestion in the blood-
stream, and organs to cease operation. The lysosomal enzymes in the

body serve as a precaution against this.
Like all the other parts of the human body they behave very ratio-
nally, never intervening against healthy structures. They immediately
identify the wastes that need to be eliminated and act to keep the body
alive. They act as to the command and will of Allah. Unless Allah so
wishes, no other power can do what they do or produce anything like
them.
