The Brain is the centre which controls, directs and coordinates the

varied activities of all the innumerable organs of the body. It receives

messages from each of the senses, interprets them, sends the proper

replies to the organs concerned so that the body reacts appropriately,

and registers all the information received in the storage memory.

Think of a huge telephone exchange in continual contact with every

man, woman and child on earth, sending and receiving messages to

and from each other one every few seconds and you have a faint idea

of the incredibly complex organization of the brain .....

Obvious conclusion

From the foregoing, we cannot imagine that the brain is just a lump of

matter, accidently placed in our head! On the contrary, it is invested

with profound significance. The scientific fact shows that its existence

and sustainment requires a "Will" or an "Intelligent Being” who is both

its Creator and the Sustainer.

It is impossible for anything so meaningful and complex and yet orderly

in its function to exist 'without the need for Allah, the Absolute One

God, Who is the Creator, Sustainer, Nourisher of the Universe.
