Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
Such delicate balances are also evident in the sense
of smell, which is ordered to fulfill every creature’s needs.
Let’s take a human being as an example. If our sense of smell
were weaker, we could not be aware of some dangerous situ-
ations. If it were as strong as a dog’s, our attention would be
distracted every moment and we would be very uncomfort-
able. These balances can be seen in each molecule’s structure.
For example, a pleasant smell is not pleasing if it is too over-
powering. Many plants have very pleasant smells, but a
strong essence made from them does not please us. This
shows that their scents have been created to please human be-
ings as a blessing from the All-Merciful and Most Merciful,
Who created the attractive scents in the plants we need for
food. His generosity and grace are without limit, and in His
endless compassion and mercy, He has made us like what is
good for us and dislike those which are bad for us. We should
thank Him for these blessings, instead of taking them for
granted. If Allah do desires, those who do this, will have for-
ever the real blessings of Paradise. However, those who are
ungrateful enough to deny Allah’s blessings will live forever
without them in Hell.
The sense of taste is one of His incomparable bless-
ings. Besides the wonderful tastes of such foods as meats,
fish, vegetables, soups, salads, pastries, sweets, savories,
fruits, jams, ice cream and candied fruit, Allah has created
systems in our body that allow us to distinguish their tastes.
