                   If everything we know as the outside world is only perceptions
               produced internally, what about the brain which we think does the see-
               ing and hearing? Isn't it composed of atoms and molecules like every-
               thing else? The brain, too, is a piece of tissue that we perceive through
               our senses. This being so, what is it, if not the brain, that perceives ev-
               erything-that sees, hears, touches, smells and tastes?
                   At this point, we face the obvious fact: that man, a being of con-
               sciousness who can see, feel, think and exercise reason, is much more
               than a mere assemblage of atoms and molecules. What defines a hu-
               man being is the "soul" granted to him by Allah. Otherwise, it would be
               highly unreasonable to attribute his consciousness and other faculties
               to a three-pound piece of flesh:
                   He Who has created all things in the best possible way.
                   He commenced the creation of man from clay;
                   then produced his seed from an extract of
                   base fluid; then formed him and breathed
                   His Spirit into him and gave you hear-
