their responsibilities. In the 5th verse of Surat al-Sajda,
it is stated: "He directs the whole affair from
heaven to earth". In accordance with this rule, the
defence cells continue their struggle without rest or du-
ress with this inspiration Allah has given to them.

Games Of Cancer Cells
It must not be forgotten that cancer cells are original
body cells that carry the molecular character of the hu-
man being. In consequence, it is difficult for the defence
cells to identify cancer cells. Furthermore, cancer cells
manage to win over some antibodies by a method undis-
covered to date.
As we have mentioned, antibodies are a type of pro-
tein that stops the activities of enemy cells. However, for
some unknown reason, cancer cells are adversely affect-
ed by the antibodies. Instead of stopping, their activities
increase, resulting in the rapid and forceful spreading of
the tumour.
Antibodies, which bind themselves on to the surface
of the cancer cell, "collaborate" with the cancer cell in a
sense. Other antibodies do not touch a cancer cell hav-
ing an antibody attached to it. Hence, the cancer cell is
perfectly camouflaged.
Collaboration between antibodies and cancer cells
can reach even broader dimensions. There are also oc-
casions where cancer cells combine with antibodies to
form "pseudo supressor T cells". These pseudo sup-
pressor T cells misinform antibodies by relaying the
message that there is "no danger". More sinister situa-
tions also develop whereby the cancer cells develop in-
