MIRACLE IN THE EYE

The broader cells are cones,
which perceive colors, and the
thinner ones are rods, which

ages. Every image you have
ever seen up to this moment
was actually an electrical sig-
nal sent from these cells to
your brain.

It is a miracle enough for just one single cell to convert light into electrical
energy. But there is an even greater miracle—millions of these cells, all working
together for a common purpose. It is clear that these cones and rods, together
with other components of the eye and the brain, were created by God. It is God
Who created humans with a flawless design. As God tells us in a verse, there is
no other god besides Him:
He is the Living—there is no god but Him—so call on Him, making
your religion sincerely His. Praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.
(Qur'an, 40: 65)
