both substances need to be present in the cell to enable the production
of DNA and RNA. When a sufficient amount of purine forms, in-
hibitors halt further purine production by stopping the enzyme that re-
leases it, and activate enzymes that initiate production of pyrimidine.
In response to this, when pyrimidines halt their own enzymes, they al-
so activate purine enzymes. The relationship between the synthesis of
these two substances ensures that the same level of each is always
maintained inside the cell. 28
Regulatory systems constantly maintain the control system within
each cell and make the requisite arrangements when the need arises. As
you can see, it is not enough for enzymes merely to accelerate reactions
and to obtain the substances that the body requires. Your body is so
complex that while a series of reactions takes places uninterruptedly,
their timing also needs to be determined at the very same instant. In re-
gard to this timing, it is vitally important that the amounts produced
should be regulated—neither a milligram too much or too little.
Precautions must be taken so that there is high production when the
body needs it, but that the production can be halted when it is no
longer necessary...
First, of course, that need must be determined. So perfect is this
determination that an enzyme "knows" and reacts in as little as 1/1000
second. All these occurrences continue on in an error-free manner, in
complete order, without you ever being aware of what's happening.
Within the human body, there is a miraculous system wherein
everything is planned and arranged to perfection. Every component
monitors and appears to encode everything else. The presence of one
component is essential to the functioning of all the others, and thus the
chain system carries on its work. The human body is a perfect machine
whose marvels are displayed at every point, right down to the smallest
organelles inside the cell. The reason for this is that all components
have bowed to Allah. All the elements comprising this system operate
