Stomach or kidney cells cannot replace them, so it is essential for the
heart cells to multiply in order to give rise to a functioning heart.
Similarly, when you cut your finger, new skin cells at the site multiply
to heal the cut. In the same way, mitosis makes a baby grow during in-
fancy and childhood. By multiplying in an ordered manner, bone cells
build first the child's skeleton and then the adult one.
So important is this process that various genes carefully control
the stages of mitosis. The perfection here is very striking. Two flawless
cells emerge from one other cell, fully equipped to produce new cells
just like themselves. In addition, it is also most amazing that mitosis di-
vision should begin immediately after fertilization. In order for a new
baby to form, cells begin dividing with an extraordinary capacity. They
shape its organs, establish connections between them, and over the
course of nine months, assume the appearance of a normal human be-
ing. The sublime consciousness manifested here, and each of the stages
that takes place in the light of a specific aim, take place at Allah's com-
mand and under His inspiration.
In the Qur'an, our Lord tells us that:
Has man ever known a point of time when he was not something worth
mentioning? We created man from a mingled drop to test him, and We
made him hearing and seeing. We guided him on the Way, whether he
is thankful or unthankful. (Surat al-Insan, 1-3)
Say: "It is He Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight
and hearts. What little thanks you show!" (Surat al-Mulk, 23)

The importance of the perfection and order inside the DNA mole-
cule is revealed by genetic diseases. A single molecule's error could
damage, or even kill, the human being concerned. But these molecules
clearly behave at the command of a superior intellect and almost never
