The will that transforms a dark point-like object into coloured, pleasing eyes that can
register three dimensions is God, the Possessor of everything.

ish the walls we put on the roof. But before the electrical and water installations
are completed, we cannot go on to the plastering. Along with a blueprint that
is followed exactly in every construction, there is also a right time to do it.
This is also valid for natural constructions and especially for cells. But we
know almost nothing about how this "before and after" relationship occurs in
the organization of a cell. Biologists have not yet been able to find out who
tells a cell what part of the plan it has to put into effect and when. Who gives
the command that hinders the operation of some genes at just the right time,
how an embargo on some genes is removed, and who sets suppressor-genes
and enhancer genes into action? These are questions about which we are com-
pletely in the dark. 1
In the formation of the eye, "the world's finest camera", we have seen that un-
conscious cells act with the utmost awareness, creating the eye in the mother's body
from nothing. Certainly, it is not the cells themselves that succeed in doing this ex-
traordinary thing: they act under the inspiration of the Almighty God. In the
Qur'an, God reveals that He gives human beings their form:
He is God—the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of
Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.
Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him.
He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Qur'an, 59: 24)
