140 THE MIRACLE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

formed through coincidences and refuses to accept that a
"Creator" has created the entire universe, despite his
awareness of the functioning of one or more than one mi-
raculous system among numerous others continuously at
work in his body, is also unaware that he has been men-
tioned in a clearly defined character type in the Qur'an
some 1,400 years ago. Allah has revealed in the Qur'an
that such people are unable to comprehend even clear
and open realities due to deficiencies in their perception
and comprehension:
... They have hearts they do not understand with.
They have eyes they do not see with. They have
ears they do not hear with... (Surat al-A‘raf: 179)
Allah has again revealed that these people are actually
aware of this situation;
They say, ‘Our hearts are covered up against
what you call us to and there is a heaviness in our
ears. There is a screen between us and you...'
(Surat al-Fussilat: 5)
Another group of disbelievers do see the realities pre-
sented, but proceed to deliberately hide the truth of what
they have seen. This is the sole reason for the countless
theories relating to the theory of evolution. The moment
they accept the existence and majesty of Allah, they are
obliged to submit to His will, which is an extremely diffi-
cult proposition for arrogant people. The Qur'an again
sheds light on the plight of such people who take up a
stance of an ignorant arrogance against Allah:

They repudiated them wrongly and haughtily,
in spite of their own certainty about them…
(Surat an-Naml: 14)
