               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)
