Page 298 - Signs from the Qur'an

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-chemical nerve impulses as im-
ages, 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 con-

Light cannot pass through the skull.
The physical area in which the
brain is located is completely
dark, and light cannot possi-
bly penetrate it. However,
incredible as it may
seem, it is possible to
observe a bright and
colorful world in this
total darkness. Colorful
natural beauty, the
brightness of the Sun,
people walking on a
busy road are all cre-
ated in the dark brain.
It is a profound mys-
tery that, in the dark-
ness of the brain, the
electrical signals turn
into colorful, bright
visions. It is God, the
Creator of all things,
Who shows these im-
ages to our soul, Who per-
mits it to hear all sounds,
and Who creates scents and
tastes for it to take pleasure from.
