The terms "TAUHEED AL-KHALIQ-QIYYAH" refers to

the approach of confirming the Oneness of God

(Allah) as the Creator (AL-KHAA-LIQ), verified from

the evidence inherent in the whole of creation.

The Lungs The Lungs

At each breath, air is drawn into more than 1,500,000 little air sacs

in the lungs, which if spread out would cover an area of some 200

square yards - the size of a nice little vegetable plot.


The Lungs The Lungs

These little balloon-like sacs are made of a thin elastic tissue which

allows air to pass through but prevents blood from oozing in.

The blood is carried to the lungs through 50,000,000,000 tiny hair thin

tubes which form a close network all along the outside of the little

balloons of the lungs.


The Lungs The Lungs

Each day they bring in some 10,000 litres of blood. Oxygen is

sucked in by the red blood cells, while waste products of the

body like carbon dioxide and water are given up by the

blood, pass into the little air sacs, and are breathed out.


The Lungs The Lungs

As long as a child is in the womb of its mother, its lungs do not

function, and the flow of blood is turned away from the lungs by

means of a special little door in the heart.

As soon as it is born, the baby, who is on the verge of suffocation,

utters a loud cry. The cry produces a whole series of wonderful

changes.

The great bags of the lungs open and air rushes in to fill them.

A great flow of blood is drawn into the lungs which like a

violent draught of air slams shut the little door inside the heart

which had hitherto turned the blood away.

this be mere coincidence?

The chemical changes that take place are truly marvellous - well

beyond the capacity of the best equipped of our laboratories.

And there are five million of these little chemical units in the

stomach, some forty million in the intestines, and more than

three and a half billion in the liver.



They produce, not only the chemicals needed to digest our food,

where and when required, but also effective remedies against

diseases like cholera and dysentery.

At the same time the liver manufactures substances which help

the body to burn some of the food we have eaten to provide the

heat and energy every living being needs.

Thus the digestive system is not only a chemical factory, but a

power house as well. For through this, energy and nutrition are

derived from the food we partake.

It is also efficient in separating toxins to be discharge by another

system, while it converts and breakdown substances by a

complex chemistry involving acids, enzymes, protein, etc.

Even in the ‘waste discharge system’ it is efficient.


Largest internal organ

Your liver is your largest internal organ. A big blood vessel, called the

“portal vein”, carries nutrient-rich blood from your small intestine

directly to your liver.


Chemical processing factory

“Hepatic cells” make up about 60 percent of your liver tissue. These

specialised liver cells carry out more chemical processes than any

other group of cells in your body. They change most of the nutrients

you consume into forms your body cells can use.

regulating your blood sugar level

Remove ammonia from your body and produce blood proteins,

including blood clotting factors;

Detoxify drugs and alcohol;

Produce “bile”, which breaks down fats in the food your eat


The pancreas is a vital organ that is part of the complex human

digestive and endocrine systems.

It manufactures and secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase,

which digests starch. It also produces lipase, which breaks down fats,

and trypsin, a protein processor.

Do you know ...?

The pancreas also creates and secretes insulin, glucagon and other

hormones.

Insulin and glucagon are especially important for the maintenance of

blood sugar, as insulin lowers the blood sugar and glucagon increases

the blood sugar according to the body's needs.

Injury or disease of the pancreas can result in severe illness and

possibly death.


The kidneys are a pair of vital organs that perform many functions to

keep the blood clean and chemically balanced.

They are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are

located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage, one on

each side of the spine.


The kidneys are sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every day, a

person’s kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2

quarts of waste products and extra water.

The wastes and extra water become urine, which flows to the bladder

through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores urine until releasing it

through urination.


Wastes in the blood come from the normal breakdown of active

tissues, such as muscles, and from food. The body uses food for

energy and self-repairs. After the body has taken what it needs from

food, wastes are sent to the blood.

If the kidneys did not remove them, these wastes would build up in

the blood and damage the body.


The actual removal of wastes occurs in tiny units inside the kidneys

called nephrons. Each kidney has about a million nephrons.

In the nephron, a glomerulus —which is a tiny blood vessel, or

capillary—intertwines with a tiny urine-collecting tube called a tubule.


The glomerulus acts as a filtering unit, or sieve, and keeps normal

proteins and cells in the bloodstream, allowing extra fluid and wastes

to pass through.

A complicated chemical exchange takes place, as waste materials and

water leave the blood and enter the urinary system.


At first, the tubules receive a combination of waste materials and

chemicals the body can still use. The kidneys measure out chemicals

like sodium, phosphorus, and potassium and release them back to the

blood to return to the body.

In this way, the kidneys regulate the body’s level of these substances.

The right balance is necessary for life.


In addition to removing wastes, the kidneys release three important

hormones:

- erythropoietin, or EPO, which stimulates the bone marrow to make

red blood cells;

- renin, which regulates blood pressure;

- calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, which helps maintain calcium

for bones and for normal chemical balance in the body.

After observing so many wonderful organs in ourselves, each

organ is prepared with such complexity and amazingly equipped

to function in such a manner to sustain us - and these are

outside our conscious ability to directly manage them, but

somehow are being managed for us - surely, we have to

concede of the power of Allah, the Creator and Sustainer.


Who designed them? and Whose power Sustains and continue to

manifest a Will over them for us?

To deny this is sheer arrogance and surely preposterous to

merely ascribe it to 'nature'.

And what is 'nature'? An unknown entity, devoid of any

attribution of Will nor intelligence. ... Yet they imply that it can

sustain us !??


How stubbornly foolish! Nay, if we sincerely look within our heart

and mind, especially reinforced and supported by our pure

intuition (fitrah), these evidence prove clearly of the existence of

an absolute Creator and Sustainer.

And there can only be One Who is the Absolute - and to deny this

is to conceal or cover an obvious truth (the attitude termed 'kufr').

Na-'uudzu billaah min dzaalik!
