Certainly, the things mentioned here come about as a
result of certain physical reactions that take place in the
body. Yet someone who reflects also wonders: how do
these reactions take place? Who placed just as much as is
necessary of hormones and enzymes in the body thus
determining the growth of everything? And who con-
trols the amounts and secretions of these?
Doubtless, it is impossible to claim that all these
have come into being by coincidence. It is impossi-
ble for the cells constituting man or the unconscious
atoms constituting cells to take such decisions. It is
evident that each one of these is the art of Allah
Who creates us in the best form.
