However, the sounds that are the products of the human body's tech-
nology are extremely sharp and clear. A human ear never perceives a
sound accompanied by a hissing sound or with atmospherics as does a
hi-fi; rather, it perceives sound exactly as it is, sharp and clear. This is
the way it has been since the creation of man.
So far, no man-made visual or recording apparatus has been as
sensitive and successful in perceiving sensory data as are the eye and
the ear. However, as far as seeing and hearing are concerned, a far
greater truth lies beyond all this.

To Whom Does the Consciousness That
Sees and Hears within the Brain Belong?
Who watches an alluring world in the brain, listens to sym-
phonies and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose
travel to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology,
physiology, and biochemistry books, you can find many details about
how this image forms in the brain. However, you will never come
across the most important fact: Who perceives these electro-chemi-
cal nerve impulses as images, sounds, odors, and sensory events in
the brain? There is a consciousness in the brain that perceives all this
without feeling any need for an eye, an ear, and a nose. To whom
does this consciousness belong? Of course it does not belong to the
nerves, the fat layer, and neurons comprising the brain. This is why
Darwinist-materialists, who believe that everything is comprised of
matter, cannot answer these questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by Allah, which needs
neither the eye to watch the images nor the ear to hear the sounds.
Furthermore, it does not need the brain to think.
Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should pon-
der on Almighty Allah, and fear and seek refuge in Him, for He
