As you can see, a single cell containing more information than an

Encyclopaedia Britannica consisting of some 100 million pages, is pro-
duced in 10 minutes, by the leave and under the supervision of Allah.
The enzymes created flawlessly by Allah make this production possible.
Every enzyme accelerates reactions at different speeds. Actually, a
major miracle lies in the information compressed into just that one sen-
tence. Some of the body's reactions need to take place more quickly
than others. With the help of catalyzers, for example, some reactions

may last just one second. In the absence of catalyzing enzymes, this re-
8
action would take 10 seconds, or approximately 3 years. In the pres-
ence of an enzyme, however, some reactions may take 10 minutes to
achieve equilibrium. This is a relatively slow-working reaction in the
world of enzymes, but in the absence of a catalyst, it would take 10 9
minutes to achieve equilibrium—a number of roughly 2,000 years. 37
In the world of enzymes, the speed required for reactions that
need to take place so quickly might have a damaging effect on reactions

Enzymes accelerate reactions to an extraordinary degree. Were it not for enzymes'
assistance, a 5-second reaction might last 1,585 years. And it would take you 115,000
years just to read this page.
