sound has yet been obtained that has the same sharpness and clarity as the
sound perceived by the ear. Think of the highest-quality hi-fi systems pro-
duced by the largest company in the music industry. Even in these devices,
when sound is recorded some of it is lost; or when you turn on a hi-fi you
always hear a hissing sound before the music starts. However, the sounds
that are the products of the human body's technology are extremely sharp
and clear. A human ear never perceives a sound accompanied by a hiss-
ing sound or with atmospherics as does a hi-fi; rather, it perceives sound
exactly as it is, sharp and clear. This is the way it has been since the cre-

ation of man.
So far, no man-made visual or recording apparatus has been as sensi-
tive and successful in perceiving sensory data as are the eye and the ear.
However, as far as seeing and hearing are concerned, a far greater truth
lies beyond all this.

To Whom Does the Consciousness That Sees
and Hears within the Brain Belong?

Who watches an alluring world in the brain, listens to symphonies and
the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose travel to
the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology, physiology, and
biochemistry books, you can find many details about how this image forms
in the brain. However, you will never come across the most important fact:
Who perceives these electro-chemical nerve impulses as images, sounds,
odors, and sensory events in the brain? There is a consciousness in the
brain that perceives all this without feeling any need for an eye, an ear,
and a nose. To whom does this consciousness belong? Of course it does
not belong to the nerves, the fat layer, and neurons comprising the brain.
This is why Darwinist-materialists, who believe that everything is com-
prised of matter, cannot answer these questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by Allah, which needs nei-
ther the eye to watch the images nor the ear to hear the sounds.
