the right locations. No doubt, the way such minuscule structures with
no consciousness or intelligence flawlessly perform processes requiring

all these features exhibits the incomparable nature of Allah's creation.
All these elements behave at Allah's command. With the ability be-
stowed on them by Him, they perform such a vitally important process
for human life in the most immaculate way.
The organization in Allah's creation is revealed in these terms in
the Qur'an:

Does man reckon he will be left to go on unchecked? Was he not a drop
of ejaculated sperm, then a blood-clot which He created and
shaped,making from it both sexes, male and female? (Surah al-Qiyama,
36-39)

All the processes involved in the replication of DNA take place at
such an astonishing pace that 3,000 nucleotide steps are produced in
one minute. Fifty base pairs are copied in only a second. Meanwhile,
90
the enzymes responsible check all the steps many times over and make
the necessary corrections.
For a better idea of the enormous speed at which the process of
DNA replication occurs, the division of a cell lasts between 20 and 80
minutes, during which time the information in the DNA also must be
copied and reproduced. All the 3 billion pieces of information in the
DNA have to be able to be copied in between 20 and 80 minutes, with
no errors, omissions or gaps. This is as miraculous as the copying an
entire library of information, or 1,000 books, or a text of one million pa-
ges, in that same space of time - again with no errors or omissions.
Moreover, it is not highly advanced technological devices or high-
ly developed photocopying machines that accomplish this, but en-
zymes consisting of combinations of various atoms.
