Grandpa Hassan went on: "You

know the microscopes you have in
the school laboratory to examine
things? … well, if we were to ex-
amine a leaf closely under a very
advanced microscope, we would

once again see the splendor of
Allah's creative artistry. There is a
perfect production system in each
and every leaf. In order to under-
stand this system better, we can
compare what goes on in a leaf to

appliances we use in our everyday life. When we magnify the ele-
ments in a leaf, we see a constantly operating automatic food fac-
tory with pipes that work continually, rooms built for special
processes, valves that work like giant pressure cookers and count-

less buttons controlling thousands of processes. And if we look
more carefully, we see timers, thermostats, humidifiers, heat con-
trol mechanisms and feedback systems located at particular
points."
