tems, and a person’s nose, hands, eyelids, and kidneys. They
multiply as much as required and then stop at just the right
time. Nerve cells develop extensions that allow them to
transmit electrical signals. Cells located in the joints assume
a globular shape that is resistant to pressure. Bone cells are
formed in the embryonic stage and look like ordinary cells;
however, without any apparent reason, they begin to store

calcium in order to develop a very hard structure that is ex-
tremely strong and carry a lot of weight throughout their
lives. When they are broken, they can repair themselves.
Compared to an equally resilient material, they are very
light (due to internal cavities), flexible, and resilient. The fact
that cells stop multiplying at just the right time is a clear sign
that they are under the control of Allah, Whose generosity

and compassion encompasses all people.

Each cell’s membrane seems to know how to de-
cide, remember, and evaluate, for it ensures the connection
between neighboring cells and delicately controls the access
to and the exit from them. Therefore, it is considered the
cell’s brain. When we observe this membrane with an elec-
tron microscope, we notice that it resembles a two-sided
wall with capillaries that permit access material to move in

and out from the cell, as well as receptors that allow it to
know the external environment. These are located on the
wall of the cell and meticulously control entrance to and ex-
it from the cell. The membrane’s first duty is to surround the
cell’s organelles and keep them together. In order to ensure
