heart, brain and lungs, would be clogged with clots, which would
                   inevitably bring death.
                       In reality, this shows us one more time that the human body is
                   flawlessly designed. It is impossible to explain the clotting system of
                   the blood through the hypothesis of coincidence or "gradual
                   development" as asserted by the theory of evolution. Such a
                   carefully engineered and calculated system as this is indisputable
                   evidence of the perfection in creation. Allah, Who created us and
                   placed us on this earth, has created our bodies with this system,
                   which protects us in many cases of injury that we encounter
                   throughout our lives.
                       The clotting of blood is very important not only for visible
                   injuries but also for the ruptures of capillaries in our bodies that
                   happen all the time. Although unnoticed, there are continuously
                   small internal bleedings. When hitting an arm against a door or
                   sitting down too heavily, hundreds of capillaries are ruptured.
                   These bleedings are immediately stopped by means of the clotting
                   system and the capillaries are reconstructed in their normal
                   condition. If the impact is more serious, then the internal bleeding is
                   stronger, giving way to the bruising commonly termed "turning
                   purple". A human lacking the coagulation system would have to
                   avoid even the smallest impacts. Haemophilic patients, having
                   defective coagulation systems, live their lives like that. Patients with
                   advanced haemophilia unfortunately do not survive too long. Even
                   small internal bleedings, inflicted by a simple slip and fall, could be
                   enough to end their lives. Due to this simple reality, each individual
                   should consider the miracle of creation within his/her own body
                   and be thankful to Allah, Who created that body flawlessly. This
                   body is a blessing to us from Allah, a single cell of which we cannot
                   even reproduce. When addressing mankind, Allah says:

                       "We created you, so why do you not confirm the truth?"
                       (Surat al-Waqi'a: 57)
