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)


“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 )

PREVIOUS LESSON


TO CONTINUE -


"And how many an animal there is that bears not
its own provision! Allah provides for it and for
you. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

And if thou were to ask them: Who created the
heavens and the earth, and constrained the sun
and the moon (to their appointed work)? they
would say: ‘Allah’ (God).

How then are they turned away? “

(Qur'an: Ankabut: 29: 60-61)


Food Digestion

• The digestive system can be looked upon as a
factory where food is tasted by the tongue, then
crushed by the teeth, moistened with saliva and
finally, - after elaborate precautions to avoid
shunting mistakes, - is pushed through the gullet
into the stomach.


Food Digestion

Stomach is like a chemical plant where the most astonishing
changes occur: Here millions of cells, too small to be seen,
produce a dozen highly complex chemicals which break up the
food we have eaten, whether it be meat, spinach, or rice, or
cheese, into simpler substances which can be absorbed by the
cells of our body and built up into our flesh and bone.


Food Digestion

• 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.


Another amazing organ – the liver
‘the super chemical plant’
Food Digestion

• 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.


Another amazing organ – the liver
‘the super chemical plant’

Food Digestion

• The liver also, together with the spleen are organs which
produces our ‘blood’. Another amazing organ – the pancreas
another chemical plant’

• Linked into this system is our ‘pancreas’ – which produces
insulin – the lack of which in our body may cause sugar
level to poison our bloodstream.


Food Digestion

• 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.


Its functions:
 Convert sugars and store and release them as needed, thereby
regulating your blood sugar level
 Break down fats and produce cholesterol;

 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 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.


• The Skin, with its vast network of sensitive fibres spread over the
body's surface is equally fascinating.

• The moment a hot object comes in contact with our skin, or even
comes close to it, about thirty thousand hot cells feel it, and instantly
report it to the brain.


• Similarly, there are 250,000 "cord cells" within our skin which crowd
the brain with messages as soon as contact is made with a cold object.

• The body then begins to shiver and veins in the skin become dilated in
order to make up for the loss of warmth in the body. When intense
heat is "reported" to the brain, three million perspiration glands are
activated to release the cool fluid we recognise as perspiration.


The nervous system is divided into different parts, one of them being
the autonomic branch, which deals with reflex functions that are
performed within our body, such as digestion, respiration, heart beats
and so on.


• This autonomic branch is further subdivided into two systems: the
sympathetic system, which causes activity and the parasympathetic
system, which serves as a brake.

• If our body were under the exclusive control of the sympathetic
system, the heart would beat so rapidly that death would result.


• And if our body were left to the mercy of the parasympathetic system,
the beating of our heart would be totally arrested.

• Both these systems function in perfect co-ordination with each other.


• Whenever our body is exposed to excessive stress and strain, causing
a sudden need for extra strength to withstand it, the sympathetic
system dominates, making the lungs function more rapidly, and
pumping adrenalin into the system from which the body may derive
extra energy.


• But while we are asleep, the parasympathetic system has the upper
hand, anaesthetizing all our bodily activities.


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!


“It is Allah who made for you the earth a place of
settlement and the sky a ceiling and formed you
and perfected your forms and provided you with
good things. That is Allah, your Lord (ROB-
BUKUM) ; then blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.”
(Qur’an: Ghafir: 40: 64)


“He is (AL-HAYU) the Ever-Living; there is no deity except Him,
so (FAD-’UUHU) call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in
religion (MUKH-LISAN LAHUD-DEEN). [All] praise is [due] to
Allah, (ROB-BIL-’AA-LA-MEEN) Lord of the worlds.
Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to
worship those you call upon (TAD-’UUNA) besides Allah once
the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have
been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."”
(Qur’an: Ghafir: 40: 65-66)
