proper functioning is also car-

ried to cells by the blood flow-
ing through our veins.

Transportation of the
nourishment in the blood ves-

sels may be compared to

transporting freight by ship. Prior to shipment, first of all

goods are placed upon the ship at the port. Goods should be

properly packaged and placed. After all are loaded, the ship

sets out and heads for the port of its destination. When it ar-

rives at the port, all packages are unloaded and distributed to

the concerned sections. In the blood vessels, nourishment is

similarly transported to cells, just as ships transport cargo
across the ocean. Oxygen, fats and amino acids flow in the

bloodstream in packages and are unloaded at the target cells.

This transportation schedule never fails. Proper amounts of

required substances are conveyed to relevant cells just on time.

Otherwise, for instance, if a cell that needed oxygen received

fats instead, this cell would die. It should be noted that even

the slightest mistake in this system could result in serious
harm. Such mistakes never happen except in unusual cases,

however, because none of these came into existence by chance.

Allah, the Creator, created this system perfectly for our ser-

vice.
