Machinery needs routine maintenance. It may be
necessary to maintain some machine parts or to replace
those that are worn out. Machines need to be treated
with oil after a certain period of operation, so as to
lessen wearing down by friction.
Like machinery, the heart, which keeps operating
all the time, requires maintenance too. However, the
heart carries out its maintenance itself; it lubricates it-
self.
How do you think a heart lubricates itself? The an-
swer to this question is hidden in the creation of the
heart. The outer surface of heart is covered by a sac con-
sisting of two membranes. Between these membranes is
a greasy fluid. This fluid acts like motor oil and facili-
tates easy operation of the heart. This self-protective
structure in the heart reveals once again how perfect
and complete is Allah's artistry in creation.
