longing to a rose. Were any error in the ex-
change of duties in the olfactory cells to take
place, then you would identify a great
many scents wrongly, or else be totally un-

aware of them and be unable to rectify any
confusion that would arise. Your olfactory
system would constantly mislead you and
give rise to serious difficulties. Yet nothing of the
sort ever happens. New nerve cells faultlessly take over the functions of
the old ones.
Another rather astonishing point is how those new olfactory nerves
unerringly find their way to the olfactory bulb. There are no signposts in
the nose or brain, and new cells can hardly ask directions. Yet the connec-
tions within the olfactory nerves are constantly renewed throughout your
life, in such a way as to leave no room for error. This cannot be explained
in terms of probability calculations. To claim that the bonds among mil-
lions of olfactory nerves came into being by chance is like asserting that
the cables constituting the telephone system of a major city were unerrin-

gly laid out by the wind, lightning and random coincidences.
No doubt, these are all proofs of the flawless creation and matchless
artistry of our Almighty Lord. Every part of the olfactory system, every
cell, every molecule and every atom, all behave in the manner inspired in
them by Omniscient and Almighty God, ever since the day they were first
created. God instructs them how to behave at every moment, right down
to the finest detail. This truth is revealed in a verse of the Qur’an:
It is God Who created the seven heavens and of the Earth the same
number, the Command descending down through all of them, so that
you might know that God has power over all things and that God en-
compasses all things in His knowledge. (Surat at-Talaq: 12)
