Some of the processesthat take place within the body in a matter of seconds

Various extraordinarily complex and flawless processes take place at
the most amazing speeds in every square millimeter of the body injust
a few seconds.
These processes continue uninterrupted every second, with everybreath
we take, even as we sleep, until the end of our lives.
These events that take place, through our Lord's sublime might, do so
uninterruptedly EVERYSECOND IN EVERY ONE of the 100 trillion cells in
the bodies of ALL THE 7 billion people currently living on Earth.
PROTEIN
• Except for reproductive and blood cells, all the cells in the body
manufacture some 2000 proteins every second. This process takes place
in EACH ONE of the 100 TRILLION CELLSOF ALL THE 7 billion people on
Earth.
• The 100 trillion cells in every adult human body form protein chains
by flawlessly organizing some 150,000,000,000,000,000,000 (150
quintillion) amino acids.
• A ribosome can add 20 amino acids per second to a protein chain.
Protein synthesis takes place in an uninterrupted manner every second
in every cell of the 7 billion people on Earth.
• An average 50 million cells form in the body every second, while
another 50 million die. Two million of these are blood cells.
• Enough DNA to fill a library consisting of 100 volumes, containing a
million pages and 3 billion letters, is copied as every cell divides.
Thiswondrous process of division takes place withthe same perfection
in the cells of everyone in the world.
THE BRAIN
• 10 16 processes take place in the brain every second.
• A single nerve cell can carry more than 200,000 pieces of
information at the same time every second.
• There are around 10 billion nerve cells in the brain, communications
between which is established by 100 trillion connections.
• Every brain cell transmits 300 currents a second. And every nerve
cell discharges its responsibility in 1 millisecond (one thousandth of
a second).
• The brain processes 750 million signals, from inside and outside the
body, every second.
• Four billion pieces of information are exchanged between the two
halves of the brain every second.
• All these processes TAKEPLACE EVERY SECOND IN EVERY ONE OF THE 10
BILLION NERVE CELLS IN THE BRAINS OF ALL THE 7 BILLION PEOPLE ON
EARTH.
• The human eye is able to send 10 million bits ofinformation per
second. Everyone in the world possesses this extraordinary capacity.
ATP
• In lifting a glass, the muscle expends some 10 20 energy molecules
(ATP). They also manufacture even more than this.
• 10 million energy molecules (ATP) are constantly manufacturedevery
second in every one of the 100 trillion cells of 7 billion people in
the world.
• The white blood cells in the veins subject 10 billion cells to a
health check in 2 seconds. That health check is carried out in
everyone who hasever lived or is living now.
• The heart circulates all the blood in the body in 60 seconds. It
does this all the time, in all the 7 billion people alive today.
• Five hundred different chemical processes are carried out in a
single liver cell every second. Every liver cell IN ALL THE 7 BILLION
PEOPLE ON EARTH knows these 500 different tasks and carried them all
out flawlessly.
• Whenever food enters the body, microscopic hairs on the cells in the
small intestine reject those parts of the food that are not useful.
The hairs in question do this in a perfectly organized manner in
everyone on Earth every second.
BREATHING
• In order to breathe, planning is carried out in a region the size of
a lentil in the brain stem, every second:
- A first group of cells gives the command for air to be taken in.
- A second group of cells determines the speed and course of
respiration by halting the activity of the first group with a signal.
- A third group of cells goes into action when we need to breathe at a
high rate and acceleratesrespiration by sending a signal to the
abdomen muscles.
• Every time we breathe more than 300 million sacs in the lungs take
air in by opening and closing. These cells and sacs perform the same
function, without exception, every 3 seconds in all 7 BILLION HUMAN
BEINGS.
• Thousands of hormones in the body send reports to specific cells in
a single second. Each hormone makes decisions, communicateswith the
cells, produces the secretions the body needs, determines the right
level and timing of this, and arranges how long these secretions
should last. Millions of hormones in the bodies of all the 7 billion
peopleon Earth carry out the same processes in milliseconds.
• Some 100 billion processes will have taken place in your eyes in the
time it takes to read this sentence. Thesetake place in a little as a
tenth of a second, and are carried out in the eye cells of everyone in
the world.
• Harmful bacteria traveling from the intestines to the liver
aredigested and neutralizedby special cells in less than 0.01 (one one
hundredth) of a second. These are at work in all 7billion people in
the world.
• There are 10 billion capillary vessels in the human body. The
erythrocytes that travel along these vessels carry oxygen to the
cells. An erythrocyte only remainsin a capillary vessel for between 1
and 3 seconds, and then heads for the heart. During thattime it gives
oxygen to the tissues and takes away carbon dioxide. This distribution
process takes place within this flawless system in all the 7 billion
people in the world.
As you read these words,billions of cells in your brain are working to
understand what you read, and controlling theactions of your muscles
and how you breathe. The brain is aware of theprotein production in
your cells, the transportation of oxygen to the cells by erythrocytes,
the images that enter your eye, sounds that reach your ear, what is
happening in your stomach and liver, the watch strappedto your arm and
everything. It responds to and regulates all of these every second.
This magnificent system in the body has worked flawlessly and
immaculately in everyone who has ever lived, and is still workingso
today. There is no doubt that the Creator ofthis magnificent system in
the body is our Almighty Lord Allah and that Almighty Allah has
knowledge and control of this system at every stage and every moment.
Our Lord says in one verse that:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan
The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but
Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without
His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and
nothing moist or drywhich is not in a Clear Book. (Surat al-An'am, 59)
