                        acts. However, the human skeleton has a structure that permits all kinds of
                        body motions.
                           Allah created, and still creates, all the features of the skeleton. Allah invites
                        man, whom He has created, to ponder this:
                           ...Look at the bones -Look further at the bones, how We bring them
                           together and clothe them with flesh... (Surat al-Baqara: 259)
                           Man must ponder this, appreciate the might of Allah, Who has created him,
                        and be thankful to Him. If he does not do so, he will be in great loss. Allah,
                        Who created the bones and clothed them with flesh, is able to do it again. This
                        is stated in the verse:
                           Does not man see that We created him from a drop yet there he is an
                           open antagonist! He makes likenesses of Us and forgets his own cre-
                           ation, saying, "Who will give life to the bones when they are
                           decayed?" Say "He Who made them in the first place will bring them
                           back to life. He has complete knowledge of every created thing."
                           (Surah Yasin: 77-79)


                           CO-ORDINATION
                           In the human body, all the systems simultaneously work in a co-ordinated
                        way and in full harmony for a definite purpose, namely, to keep the body alive.
                        Even the smallest movements we do everyday, such as breathing or smiling,

                        are outcomes of perfect co-ordination in the human body.
                           Inside us is an incredibly complicated and comprehensively co-ordinated
                        network that operates without stopping at all. The purpose is the continuance
                        of living. This co-ordination is particularly visible in the locomotive system of
