The tip of a pencil
covers an area just a
millimeter in size.
There are 500,000
chloroplasts in the
same area of a leaf.
That so many com-
plex structures are
contained in such a
minute area is, of
course, one of the
proofs of the match-
less nature of Allah’s
creation.

If you manage to design such a device, your name will go down in
history, because despite all the extraordinary progress made in technolo-

gy, science has still been unable to invent a device of the sort described
above. Indeed, biologists are still trying to understand just how plants do
this. The chlorophyll molecule is the only device on Earth capable of per-
forming this process. When chlorophyll’s design is examined, you can
better appreciate how Allah has created all things with delicate calcula-
tion and infinite intelligence.
The chlorophyll molecule consists of 55 atoms of carbon, 72 of hydro-

gen, 5 of oxygen, 4 of nitrogen and 1 of magnesium, combined in a partic-
79
ular order and with a very special design. Every atom must be correctly
placed for the molecule to do its job.
These atoms constituting chlorophyll know just what duties they
have to do, and fulfill them and in an unbelievably short space of time be-
yond all human comprehension—one 10-millionth of a second. The dif-
80
ference between 1/1000th of a second and 2/1000ths of a second is too
short for us to grasp. One 10 millionth of a second is therefore totally un-
imaginable.
