Whenever the body needs any kind of protein, a message express-
ing that need reaches the DNA of the cell where that production is to be
performed. There is a very important point here which needs to be
borne in mind: when there is a need for any kind of protein in the body
it is again certain messenger proteins know where they have to apply,
are able to locate those sites in the entire body, and forward the mes-
sage there in readable form. The protein enabling this communication
finds it way without becoming lost in the dark interior of the blood-
stream, and deposits its message without any part of it being lost or
damaged. In short, we are looking at a considerable awareness and
sense of responsibility.
The message reaching the cell nucleus forms the protein as the re-
sult of a series of complex and highly organized processes. The way
that the demand for protein reaches the correct cells out of all the 100
trillion other cells in the body, how the cells understand what is re-
quired of them and immediately goes to work, and produce a perfect
result are all phenomena that amaze scientists.
The genetic code in the DNA molecule is so programmed that on-
ly the cell itself is capable of knowing its content, its meaning, and how
it will affect the body throughout its lifetime. However, these cells are
merely masses of unconscious inanimate atoms. Under the direction of
our Almighty Lord, Who regulates all things on the Earth and in the
skies, processes that human beings are unable to carry out are per-
formed in a perfect manner.
In the Qur'an, Allah reveals that:
[Hud said,] "I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. The-
re is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is on a Stra-
ight Path.' (Surah Hud, 56)
It is Allah Who created the seven heavens and of the Earth the same
