Behold! In the creation of the heavens
and the earth, and 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 the thought): Our Lord! Not for naught have
you created (all) this! Glory to You! Give us salvation from the
Penalty of the Fire. [Aal-Imran 190-191]
The heart pumps out 13,000 liters of blood
each day - enough to fill a small road tanker.
Our heart beats around 100,000 times every
day, approximately 2500 million times in a lifetime.
If all the blood vessels of an adult human
were laid end to end, they would stretch for 160,000 km -enough
to go around the world 4 times. Our blood is on a 60,000-mile
journey.
There is no moving creature on earth
but its sustenance depends on Allah: He knows the time and place
of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: all is in a
clear record. [Surah Hud: 6]
But the God of you all is Allah: there
is no god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge.
[Taha: 98]
Our eyes are able to see 8 million shades
of color. As the human eyes blink approximately every 6 seconds
they remain closed for about 2 minutes in
each waking hour.
In a lifetime, a human blinks
415 million times. In a lifetime, most people walk a distance
of 22,000 km.
All the blood in the
circulatory system passes through the kidneys every 4-5 minutes.
If all the tubules in one
kidney were laid end to end when extended-they would stretch
for more than 300 km.
During our lifetime, we
expel 40,000 liters of urine.
Our lungs inhale over two
million liters of air everyday - enough air to inflate 3.5
million balloons, without even thinking. They are large
enough to cover a tennis court.
Whatever is in the
heavens and on earth, let it declare the Praises and Glory
of Allah: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. To Him
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: it is He
Who gives Life and Death; and He has Power over all things.
He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Hidden:
and He has full knowledge of all things. He it is Who
created the heavens and the earth in six Days, and is
moreover firmly established on the Throne (of authority), He
knows what enters within the earth and what comes forth out
of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it.
And He is with you wheresoever you may be. And Allah sees
well all that you do. [Surah Al-Hadeed: 1-4]
Our hearing is so
sensitive it can distinguish between hundreds of thousands
of different sounds.
Our sense of touch is
more refined than any device ever created.
The energy released from
one peanut will keep brain active for one hour.
Our brain is more complex
than the most powerful computer and has over 100 billion
nerve cells.
We give birth to 200
billion red cells every day. About 3 million red blood cells
are produced, and the same number die, every second.
When we touch something,
we send a message to our brain at 124 mph.
Nerve cells may spend 60
years in inter-phase.
We have over 600
voluntary muscles.
When walking we use 200
different muscles.
We exercise at least 30
muscles when we smile.
We are about 70 percent
water.
We make one liter of
saliva a day.
Our nose is our personal
air-conditioning system: it warms cold air, cools hot air
and filters impurities.
In one square inch of our
hand we have nine feet of blood vessels, 600 pain sensors,
9000 nerve endings, 36 heat sensors and 75 pressure sensors.
In an average lifetime - we spend 3 1/ 2 years eating and
consume 160 kg of chocolate, grow 28 meters of fingernails,
950 km of head hair and 2 meter of nasal hair.
Yet have they taken,
besides Him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves
created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves;
nor can they control Death nor Life nor Resurrection. [Surah
Al-Furqan: 3] (SG)
