SOME SECRETS OF THE QUR'AN

have been working on this endeavour, no 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
produced by the biggest company in the music industry. Even
in these devices, when sound is recorded some of it is lost; or

Who is it that watches an alluring world in its brain, listens
to symphonies and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from the eyes, ears, and nose of a
human being travel to the brain as electro-chemical nervous
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
about this subject: Who is it that perceives these electro-
chemical nervous impulses as images, sounds, odours and
sensory events in the brain? There is a consciousness in the
brain that perceives all this without feeling any need for eye,
ear, and nose. To whom does this consciousness belong? There
