essary for it, matches it and tries various ways of combining with it—

exhibiting seemingly rational, conscious behavior under the direction
of Allah.
The way that inanimate molecules display such behavior is a great
miracle. Those unable or unwilling to see the evident miracle here look
elsewhere by ascribing some extraordinary intelligence to molecules
themselves, to atoms, or even to chance itself. In fact, however, all sci-
entific endeavor declares that Allah is the sole Lord of Earth, the sole
mighty and sublime Creator. Allah creates from nothing and manifests
His own omniscience in the entities He chooses.

Yes, indeed! Everyone in the heavens and everyone on the Earth be-
longs to Allah. Those who call on something other than Allah are not
really following their partner-deities. They are only following conjec-
ture. They are only guessing. (Surah Yunus: 66)

What if the key did not fit the lock? What if the enzyme were in
the correct location, but did not match the substrate? What if the en-
zyme reached the site of the reaction needing to be accelerated, but then
passed by the relevant molecules? If because of just such a structural in-
compatibility, the enzymes necessary to coagulate the blood flowing
from an open wound failed to perform their duties, then the blood
would never be able to clot. No reactions essential for cell renewal
could ever occur, nor could vital processes be maintained at the same
rate and in the same order. For an enzyme to do what is expected of it,
it has to recognize the substance—in other words, the substrate—on

which it has to act and to match it completely. By the will of Allah, there
is never any such problem in this regard in the living body. Every en-
zyme recognizes without difficulty the substrate it must react with and,
since it acts under the inspiration of Allah, never makes a mistake in
carrying out the process it needs to perform. The key always fits the
lock; the needed reaction always takes place.
