RE-CAP PREVIOUS LESSON


OUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAID:

"(To know Allah) Think (and reflect) upon Allah's creation
(i.e. what He has created) and do not try to think in Allah
(His Essence: Dzat), for you will most certainly not be able
to comprehend it.“

(Al-Hadith)


TO CONTINUE


“O MANKIND! Worship your (ROBB) Sustainer, who
(KHALAQO-KUM) has created you and those who
lived before you, so that you might remain conscious
of Him who has made the earth a resting-place for
you and the sky a canopy, and has sent down water
from the sky and thereby brought forth fruits for
your sustenance: do not, then, claim that there is
any power that could rival Allah, when you know
[that He is One].”
(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 21-22)


For those with knowledge ……

“Of all His servants, only such as are endowed with (innate)
knowledge stand (truly) in awe of Allah: (for they alone
comprehend that) verily, Allah is Almighty, Much Forgiving.”

(Qur’an: Fatir 35 : 40)



• 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.



“ALL PRAISE is due to Allah, (KHALAQA-AS-SAMA’) who has
created the heavens and the earth, and brought into being
deep darkness as well as light: and yet, those who are bent
on denying the truth regard other powers as their
Sustainer's equals! .He it is who (KHALAQA-KUM) has
created you out of clay, and then has decreed a term [for
you] - a term known [only] to him. And yet you doubt –”
(Qur’an: An-’am: 6: 1-2)



• And "TAUHEED AR-RUB-BU-BIYYAH" is the approach
of confirming the Oneness of God (Allah) as also
being the Sustainer or Cherisher (AR-ROBB) , in the
evidence of the wonderful order and harmonious
existence of all things in this universe.


An invitation to reflect


An invitation to reflect

"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth
and in the alternation of Night and Day, there are
indeed Signs for men of understanding,

Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing
sitting and lying down on their sides and contemplate
the wonders of creation in the heavens and the earth,
(with a thought):

"Our Lord! You have not created this for nothing! Glory
to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the
Fire."

(Qur’an : Ali Imran 3 : 190-191 )

The greatest evidence of Allah s.w.t., for us to confirm
and verify is the whole of creation.

Nature and the study of nature both proclaim to us the
fact that there is one God Who, in His infinite Wisdom has
created and continues to sustain this universe.


The superb order, organization and meaningfulness of
the things in nature perceive by us cannot be explained
except that it must have been brought into existence by
a Creator - a Being with an infinite intelligence and not
by a blind force.


• The highly complex order in things, the sophistication and
intricacies of design towards certain utility does not
portray haphazardness in nature but rather indicates a
"Will " of One Who is Able and Wise.


• This is discernible by those who exercises their reasoning
faculty when observing nature, a characteristic which Allah
enjoins upon us Muslims to be.

• And Allah s.w.t. warns those who are heedless due to their
neglect of the apparent signs and deem them as beasts or
worse than that:


"Many are the Jinns (spirits) and men We have
made for Hell:

They have hearts wherewith they understand not,
eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith
they hear not.

They are like cattle,- nay more misguided: for they
are heedless (of warning)."

( Qur’an : A'raf: 7 :179 )


"And on earth there are Signs (of Allah's existence, visible) to
all who are endowed with inner certainty, just as (there are
signs) thereof within your own selves: can you not then see? “

( Qur'an: Az-Dzariyat: 51 : 20-21 )

• Get into a different groupings - each not
more than 5 persons – and do a brief ta’aruf
(getting to know). Then discuss …
“Let us discuss and
‘Miracles’ or signs of Allah’s existence are apply what we have
learnt”

body/ anatomy / organ; analyze how it is
created, it’s function, its usefulness etc. to

You are given only 30 minutes to complete this assignment

Say: “Can the blind be held equal to the seeing?
“ Will you then not think (consider)?

( Qur'an: An’am: 7: 50 )


Do you know ....

The eye is the world’s most efficient ‘television station’ : it takes in
flawless pictures in colour and transmits them without the least
blurring to the brain.

It takes a photographer to appreciate fully the working of the eye. Like
any camera it is in a small dark box, with an aperture in front filled
with a transparent pane (as a window).


Do you know ....

In front of this pane there is a shutter of variable speed, called ‘iris’,
with adjustable slit and automatic release.

Behind, there is the crystalline lens whose curvature is continually
adjusted by automatic muscles so that whatever is looked upon is
always sharply focus.

Six large powerful muscles control the movements of the eye and point
it in any desired direction.


Do you know ....

• The delicate part of this precision instrument are kept clean by the
eye-lids, which are ‘window wipers’ and use a cleaning fluid
secreted by the gland at the corner of the eye and poured in
through a siphon.
• A constant temperature is maintained, as in a laboratory with
highly sensitive apparatus, by means of a heat regulating
membrane called ‘choroid’.


Do you know ....

The photographic plate of the eye is a small screen at the back, called
‘retina’, on to which the images of the things we see are focussed.

The retina can take 10 different pictures each second – 800,000
pictures a day, wiping itself clean after each.

It is so fast that 30,000 separate points of light can be recorded by a
single square millimetre (the size of a nail-head) of its surface.


Do you know ....

All the pictures are in vivid colour,
with sharp outlines, and delicate
shading; they are, besides, movies
in three dimension (3-D), thanks to
the stereoscopic focus of the two
eyeballs on our head.


Do you know ....

Long before man discovered wireless, the ear ‘knew’ all that was to be
known about the reception of sound waves.

The human ear consists of a funnel beautifully adapted to pick up
sounds and equipped with fleshy folds which enable it to perceive the
direction from which the sound comes.


Do you know ....

• Inside the ear, fine hairs and a sticky wax prevent harmful insects,
dust, etc. from getting in.

• Across the inner end of the funnel there is a tightly stretched
membrane, the ear-drum, which vibrates like the skin of the tabla
(Indian percussion instrument) when sound waves strike it.


Do you know ....

• The vibrations are then passed on and amplified by three bones
(the hammer, the stirrup and the anvil) whose relative sizes are
precisely adjusted to produce just the needed amplification.
Indeed, these bones never grow.

• Amazingly, these bones are of exactly the same size as in the infant
and in the adult.


Do you know ....

• The amplified vibrations are carried by the bones to another
membrane just beyond which lies the wonderful organ of hearing,
the inner ear.

• This is a small tube (the cochlea) coiled up like the shell of a snail,
and filled with a liquid in which a harp of 6,000 strings ranging in
length from 1/20 to ½ mm, hang suspended.


Do you know ....

Each string vibrates to a particular frequency of sound so that the
ear can hear all possible combinations of 6,000 different sounds.


Do you know ....

• The vibration of the strings are transmitted to 18,000 nerve cells
whose fibres communicate with the brain.


• 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.


• In the white and grey matter of the brain there are nearly a
thousand million nerve cells.

• Each is an electric battery and a small telegraph transmitter. Each
cell branches out into a number of fine conducting threads, the
nerve fibres, which extend to all parts of the body.


A large number of them run down the hollow back-bone, twisted
together into a thick cable, the spinal cord. Admirably, this is
protected by the bony and well-cushioned walls of the spine.

Through these tiny threads, each of which is covered with an
insulating sheath, a current flows at the speed of about 70 m.p.h.,
carrying messages through and from the brain, with marvellous
speed and accuracy.


There is an elaborate system of relays, condensers, switches
etc .. (to use technical terms), which permits the transmission of
the most unexpected messages between the brain and each of
the millions of cells it controls, without the least confusion or
delay.


Obvious conclusion

• From the foregoing, we cannot imagine that the brain is just a
lump of matter, accidentally placed in our head ! ?

• On the contrary, it is invested with profound significance for
which we should exclaim glorification, "SubhaanAllah!
Alhamdulillaah! Mashaa-Allaah! Allahu Akbar!“


Obvious conclusion

• Empirical science can only explain the "how" or the workings of
physics, but never the "why" - whose meaning lies in metaphysic.
Why does it work that way? It must be because of an irresistible
"Will", that must have prepared it for its future functional use
outside the womb.
• The scientific fact shows that its existence and sustainment
requires a "Will" or an "Intelligent Being” who is both its Creator
and the Sustainer.


Obvious conclusion

It is impossible for anything so meaningful and complex and yet
orderly in its function to exist without the need for God (Allah),
the Absolute One God, Who is the Creator, Sustainer, Nourisher
of the Universe.


"Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves
the creators? “

(Qur'an: Surah Tur: 51: 35)


The Lungs

• Who created the lungs? Does it simply come out of nothing (i.e. mere
random chance)?

• These are organs which bring the blood into contact with clean fresh
air – ‘as if they knew’, long before we ourselves were aware of the
fact, that to purify the blood nothing is better than a good bath of
oxygen.


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

• 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

• 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

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 Lungs

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 brings us to yet, another amazing organ – the heart. Can
this be mere coincidence?


• The heart is a small organ, about the size of a fist, weighing not more
than eight ounces, yet this small pump can work prodigiously.
• It keeps pumping day and night for a whole life-time without the least
pause; rating some 100,000 strokes a day; and sending about a gallon
of blood circulating through the body once every 13 seconds.
• In a single day the heart pumps enough blood to fill a good-sized oil
truck; and in a single year it could fill a train of 65 large oil wagons.


• The heart is specially built for the immense job
it has to do.
• Its walls are made up of very tough muscular
fibres, and it is surrounded by a double
membrane (pericardium) containing a fluid
which lubricates its continual movement.
• The beat of the heart takes place in two steps
as first the upper and then the lower half
contracts.


• This enables each half of the heart to rest while
the other half is beating.
• Inside the heart are four chambers, two upper
chambers called ‘auricles’ and two lower
chambers called ‘ventricles’.
• Blood always flow from the auricles to the
ventricles, and this one-way traffic is maintained
by the umbrella-shaped valves which guard the
openings between the chambers.
