enzyme. Subsequently, enzymes are extracted by fermenting the micro-

organism. The wastes that emerge as a result are used as fertilizer. In
addition, enzymes can also be obtained from plants, the pancreases of
large livestock, and the digestive organs of chickens and oxen.
Utilizing knowledge and technology, humans have expended
enormous efforts to find ways of carrying out these processes. For dis-
solving starch, for example, rather harsh conditions were formerly nec-
essary. A large number of chemicals were employed, but the resulting
industrial products were not wholly what was desired, and the result-
ing waste products were generally toxic. However, enzymes work just
as if tailor-made for the task. Acting at the site, they locate the relevant

starch and entirely do away with it, leaving behind the amino acids and
other constituents, all of which can be safely returned to the natural en-
vironment. No human technology can endow a protein with the ability
to attack a specific substance and break it down. They cannot teach it to
attack a single fat molecule on a piece of cloth, nor cause it to act in a
certain temperature range in such a way as to fulfill people's needs.
They cannot make the resulting waste products assume a form that can
be recycled and reused.
Human beings cannot even produce the correct sequence of the
amino acids that make up a protein. Therefore, to perform all these
tasks they use ready-made natural enzymes which have been placed at
mankind's disposal. The more research is performed, the more en-

zymes are discovered, literally gift-wrapped inside micro-organisms as
major labor-saving devices, easily located where any scientist can ob-
tain them.
This blessing is bestowed by Allah. It has been given to make life
easier, as a beauty and a blessing. It is Allah Who creates them in mi-
cro-organisms, Who gives them their own particular characteristics,
Who permits them to be discovered, and Who gives us the ability,
knowledge and means with which to study them.
