The Miracle in the Cell Membrane

ish ing intel li gence is on dis play. No doubt that cells are
devoid of such abil i ties as intel li gent thought, learn ing,
deci sion-mak ing or plan ning. When we exam ine the proc -
ess es they per form, how e ver, we see that cells work in a
more far-sight ed, ration al and pre cau tion ary, care ful and
scru pu lous man ner than even the most intel li gent humans.
This supe ri or intel lect dis played in the cell is that of our
Lord:

He cre at ed every thing and deter mined it most exact ly.
(Surat al-Furqan, 2)

Almost any system appears simple when viewed from the outside. For exam-
ple, it's enough to turn the ignition key to start your car's engine running. Yet
for that to happen, thousands of components have been produced and
brought together within a specific plan. A great many people have spent their
time, energy, knowledge, and experience, to bring this about. You do not
even have to turn a key for the systems in your body
to work. Whether at the cell, organ or sys-
tem level, it functions without your
intervening in any way. All this
is a manifestation of our
Lord, the Compassionate
and Merciful.
