in nature. Even Darwin [1] , the British scientist whom Islâm’s
adversaries present as their leader, had to admit: Whenever I
think of the structure of the eye, I feel as if I will go mad.” Could
a person who would not admit that a car is made by chance, by
the forces of nature, say that nature has created this universe,
which is entirely a work of art? Of course, he could not. Should
he not believe that it has been made by a creator, who has
calculation, design, knowledge, and infinite power? Is it not
ignorance and idiocy to say: “Nature has created it” or “it has
come into being by chance?”
Allahu ta’âlâ created everything in the best form and for the
most useful purposes. For example, He created this spherical
earth one hundred and fifty million kilometres away from the
sun. If He had created it at a distance longer than this, there
would have been no warm seasons and we would have died
from the cold. If He had created it at a distance shorter than
this, it would have been very hot; hence, no living creatures
would have been able to exist. The air around us is a mixture of
21 % oxygen, 78 % nitrogen, and 0.0003 carbon dioxide.
Oxygen comes into our cells, burns the food there so that
power and strength are provided for us. If the amount of oxygen
in the air had been more than this, our cells would have been
burned by the oxygen, too; therefore, we would have become
ashes. If its percentage had been less than 21, it would not
have been adequate enough to burn the food in our cells, and
again there would have been no living creatures. During rainy
and thunderous days, oxygen mixes with nitrogen and
nitrogenous salts are formed in the sky; they fall to the earth
with the rain. They feed the plants. Plants are food for animals,
and animals are food for human beings. Therefore, it is
understood that our sustenance is produced in the sky and
rains down from there. The carbon dioxide in the air stimulates
the centres of the heart and breathing in the cerebellum; that is,
it makes them work. When the amount of carbon dioxide in the
air becomes less, our hearts will stop, and we will not be able to
breathe. On the other hand, if its percentage increases, we will
choke. The amount of carbon dioxide in the air should never be
changed. In order to keep it in the same consistency, He
created the seas. When the amount of carbon dioxide in the air
