Harun Yahya 29

“all this will come to nothing.” Allah states this truth in the
Qur’an:
“By the soul and Him that moulded it and inspired it with
the knowledge of sin and piety: blessed shall be the man
who has kept it pure.” (Surat ash-Shams: 7-9)
As stated in the verse, man is a prey to sin but knows he
has a duty to guard against it. Man is tested on his choice
between good and evil.

23. How do we see?

Allah brought you out of your mothers’ wombs devoid of
all knowledge and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so
that perhaps you would give thanks. (Surat an-Nahl: 78)
The act of seeing is realised progressively. During the act
of seeing, light clusters (photons) travelling from any object to
the eye pass through the lens at the front of the eye where
they are refracted and fall upside-down on the retina at the
back of the eye. Here, impinging light is turned into electrical
signals that are transmitted by neurons to a tiny spot called
the centre of vision in the back of the brain. This electrical sig-
nal is perceived as an image in this centre in the brain after a
series of processes. The act of seeing actually takes place in
this tiny spot in the posterior part of the brain, which is pitch-
dark and completely insulated from light.
When we say, “we see,” we are in fact seeing the effects
of impulses reaching our eyes and induced in our brain, after
they are transformed into electrical signals. That is, when we
say, “we see,” we are actually observing electrical signals in
our minds.
