Your cells ensure that your hands, eyes, and nose
have the proper shape. Your cells begin their work while you
are still in your mother’s womb, forming you better than any
plastic surgeon. They make your organs without any excess
or deficiency. For example, they calculate the number,
length, and shape of your fingers. They do this for your
whole body. For example, your eye alone has 40 parts, all of
which must grow in proportion, have sound connections
among themselves, and be in their proper places for your
eye to function properly.
When the embryo is four weeks old, two cavities form
on either side of its head. At six weeks, its cells begin to work
according to a wonderful plan. Some cells make the cornea,
some make the pupil, and others make the lens. When each
cell finishes building its particular area, it stops. Each cell
makes a different part, and all of them gradually combine.
No other stratum is formed in the pupil’s place, and every-
thing is in its own place. This process lasts for months, and
the result is a beautiful and functional pair of eyes.
Each cell that makes up the embryo is aware of the
body’s general plan. Indeed, they produce parts with differ-
ent characteristics, just as if they had agreed beforehand on
what they would do. Allah created this wonderful plan en-
coded in cells, inspires them to carry out their tasks, and en-
sures its perfect implementation:
