A MIRACULOUS SYSTEM CREATED FOR A NEW LIFE

ons of human beings who have ever lived makes it all the more extraor-
dinary that the same harmony operates perfectly in every individual. It is
clear that this cannot be by random chance, and that a supreme, conscious
intelligence is responsible for giving their special qualities to the micros-
copic cells that make up our bodies, as well as to the hormones that these
cells produce, to the enzymes and the hundreds of thousands of other tiny
elements in the human system. It is obvious that every part of every sta-
ge of the whole system that functions in the human body is beyond hu-
man comprehension and that it is the work of an incomparably powerful
intelligence.
This supreme intelligence belongs to God, Who has created the who-
le universe down to its smallest detail. In the Qur'an, God says that there
are no other gods besides Him:
God, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not
subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth
belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permissi-
on? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but they
cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He wills. His throne en-
compasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation does not ti-
re Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Qur'an, 2: 255)
