would fill many thousands of volumes of encyclopaedias. Therefore, in this
chapter, we will only deal briefly with some subjects that deserve to be
pondered upon at length.
However, even these brief mentions will help the conscientious ‘men
of understanding’ to notice the most important fact of their lives or at least
will help them remember it once again.

For Allah Exists.
To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth and He
is known through reason.

THE MIRACLES IN OUR BODY
‘A Half-Developed Eye Cannot See’
What comes to your mind first when you hear the word ‘eye’? Are
you aware that one of the most crucial things in life for you is your abili-
ty to see? Even if you are, have you ever thought what other signs your
eye bears?
The eye is one of the most manifest pieces of evidence that living
creatures are created. All sight organs, including animal eyes and the
human eye, are extremely striking examples of a perfect design. This
exceptional organ is so overwhelmingly complex that it surpasses even the
most sophisticated devices in the world.
In order for an eye to see, all of its parts have to co-exist and work
in harmony. For instance, if an eye happened to have lost its eyelid, but
still had all the other parts such as the cornea, conjunctiva, iris, pupil, eye
lenses, retina, choroid, eye muscles, and tear glands, it would still be great-

ly damaged and soon lose its seeing function. In the same manner, even if
all its organelles were present, if the tear production were stopped, the eye
would soon dry out and become blind.
‘The chain of coincidences’ posited by evolutionists loses all its mean-
ing against the complex structure of the eye. It is not possible to explain
the existence of the eye other than as a matter of special creation. The eye
has a multi-sectioned complex system and, as discussed above, all of these
individual sections had to come into existence at the same time. It is
impossible for a half-developed eye to function at ‘half capacity’. In such
