in another organism with a completely different structure and function.

This is a literal miracle, because under normal circumstances, it is not
possible for an enzyme to depart from its own normal working condi-
tions, adapt to others and still continue to function. Even the enzymes
in the human stomach are unable to change their working environment
and operate in the muscles or the kidneys. This shows that the same en-
zymes were specially created for different life forms. It is Allah, the
Lord of all the knowledge in the worlds, Who creates them in such a
way as to know how they will function in which body and Who en-
dows them with different functions, despite giving them the same ap-
pearance. The way that an enzyme knows how it must work in the hu-
man body and yet assumes the functions determined for it in another
creature's body with no confusion arising is one of the awe-inspiring
works of Almighty Allah.
That some enzymes can serve different functions in different or-

ganisms does not alter the fact that very different enzymes are con-
stantly at work in all living things. It will be useful to recall that in ad-
dition to the 1 million living species on Earth, there are some 10 million
more that have become extinct. Bearing these figures in mind, the vari-

The enzyme and substrate, made up of inanimate molecules with no consciousness
whatsoever, assist with cell multiplication in the human body, make vision possible,
digest foodstuffs and produce new materials that can be used by the body. With their
structures, functions and miraculous properties, enzymes are one of the amazing
works of Allah.
