A single chlorophyll molecule contains a flawless system that 21st-
century technology, with all the means at its disposal, cannot compre-
hend. Extraordinary phenomena take place within every single part of
this system. For example, the enzymes seem to expect the hydrogen in
water to be released with the light that arrives. When the hydrogen atoms
separate, they immediately recognize and catch them, not letting them re-

combine with the oxygen that’s been released. They then know they must
transport the hydrogen and combine it with CO . Thanks to this highly

conscious behavior, here summarized in the very briefest terms, life on
Earth is able to survive.
In addition, all this happens in just one 10-millionth of a second.
Despite all our technology, we cannot do under laboratory conditions
what the enzymes and atoms in the chlorophyll molecule do. No doubt
that the design and tasks accomplished by chlorophyll are proofs of the
matchless and incomparable creation of Allah.

The Initial Stages
When we examine the processes by which photosynthesis takes
place, the might of Allah and the glory in His creation can be seen more
clearly.

The time required for this is quite unbelievable: just “1 billionth of a
second!” 82
During this space of time, energy transfers and the distribution of the
energy stored in the reaction center must take place. These rapid energy
transfers, a complex process, have to be achieved in an even shorter peri-
od of time, one which we cannot even imagine: one 300 billionth of a sec-
ond.
This is one second divided by 300 billion—way beyond all human
comprehension.
