*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

The Miracle of Amino Acid Production
Manufacturing plants contain highly importantsystems for industry.
Thematerials scheduled for production are manufactured in a
systematic, high-quality and controlled manner. Many machines and
equipment are required for even a single product. Engineers,
scientists and laborers work together to produce these
machines.Systems that will produce the best outcomes are produced
through detailed calculations and designs.This work is never left
tochance. On the contrary, every stage of manufacturing is kept under
strict control. Modern biology and genetics have shown, just as in
these examples, that there are high-technology factories and
productionplants in the living world, as well. One of these involves
the production of amino acids, the basic building blocks of the body.
You of course realize that the production plant you are seeing here
did not come into being by chance. Our cells also have their own
production plants. Theseall show that all the systems in living things
are under the control of a sublime mind.
The Amino Acid Miracle
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 types of
amino acid in living things. Enzymes and the complex manufacturers in
the celluse amino acids to build skyscraper-like giant molecules, or
proteins. Controlling the amount of amino acids is therefore a most
important task.
Amino acids form as the result of an exceptionally detailed chain of
production. There are enzymes that work with great care foramino acid
production. However, there is one very interesting detail here.
Enzymes also consist of protein structures, and are therefore also
made up of amino acids. Gradual evolution is therefore out of the
question. There can be no enzyme production without amino acids, and
no amino acid production without enzymes .
Twenty types of amino acid are used in protein production. The
production of these 20 amino acids inside the cell is a miracle
because the enzymes responsible for production also consist of amino
acids.
Proteins are giant structures, just like skyscrapers, in the molecular
world. Of course, no skyscraper comes into being by chance. And
neither does an exceedingly complex protein.
Details of the System
The amino acids used in living things consist of atoms such as carbon,
nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. These substances are worked by scores
of enzymes, operating just like master craftsmen. Each enzyme is
involved in only one task; it assembles a single amino acid in a
single area of a single molecule. They perform that task perfectly and
tothe letter. Enzymes work like workers on a production line. Each one
goes into action at just the right time. They continue to take over a
substance produced by one enzyme and then to hand it on to another.
The absence of just one enzyme, or even a tiny flaw in its
architecture, will bring the whole system down.
The construction sector is one of the world's major commercial
spheres. Factories are needed to manufacture the materials used in
construction. Structural materials such as roof tiles used in
constructionare also made in factories. A similar situation applies in
our cells. Amino acids are like bricks that build proteins. Just like
brick and iron/steel factories, cells have their own production lines
for the manufacture of amino acids.
A diagram showing the formation of amino acids. Each arrow represents
the chemical processes required for amino acids to form. There are
enzymes responsible for each chemical process. Therefore, several
enzymes are responsible just for amino acid production in our cells.
As we have seen, amino acid production takes place in a highly
controlled manner. There is no room for chance in the cell. In
addition, these enzymes that assemble a single atom in a molecular
mass are also made up of amino acids. And this shows that the system
was created as a whole.
For example, 25 enzymeswork in collaboration just in order to produce
six of the 20 types of amino acids in bacteria -methionine, threonine,
lysine, isoleucine, valine and leucine. [i] The raw materials used by
these enzymes cannot be obtained through random processes. Theseraw
materials are again produced by many enzymes in collaboration. Their
production is a miracle all by itself.
The workers on the production line in a factory loyally and devotedly
carry out procedures one after theother. All have their ownfunctions.
The absence of one of the workers performing these tasks will cause
the product tobe faulty and useless. The presence of enzymes, which
are far more complex than amino acids, is essential for the production
of amino acids, the basic building blocks of the cell. Life is an
exceedingly complex whole in which there is no room for chance.
The Striking Truth Hidden in the Amino Acid Production System
Evolutionists claim, in the light of their superstitious beliefs, that
living things developed gradually, by chance, from the primitive to
the more advanced. Accordingly, they refer to bacteria as primitive
life forms. Yet careful examination of any bacterium will reveal that
it is equippedwith exceptionally complex systems. A single bacterium
is equipped with a more complex and advanced technology than those
found in modern cities:
Only 10 of the amino acids necessary for protein production in the
human cell can be manufactured in the body. We therefore obtain amino
acids by consuming amino acids produced in other living things. Yet
bacteria produce all 20 types of amino acid. [ii] Living forms that
evolutionists regard as primitive are far ahead when it comesto the
manufacture of amino acids, the basic mechanism of life.
Deficiencies in Enzymes in the Manufacture of Amino Acids Leads to
Sickness and Death, Not to Progress
We have seen how manyenzymes are involved in the synthesis of amino
acids, the building blocks of protein and much smaller than
them.However, any gaps in these enzymes, or even the slightest error,
leads to disease and death. This shows how sensitivethe system is, how
it leaves no room for error and how it could not have come into being
gradually. All the components of the system have to be present
together. And that is only possible withCreation.
For example, genetic errors in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase -
used in themanufacture of the amino acid tyrosine - may cause mental
retardation, irregular temperature control, impaired gait and
paralysis. [iii]
Parkinson's disease is also associated with a decrease in the cells
manufacturing dopamine, also obtainedfrom amino acids. [iv]
Not only the manufacture of amino acids is regulated, but also
destruction within the cell. Deficiencies in the enzymes responsible
for this task cause death and disease. Mutations in the genes that
code the enzyme alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenasecause the disease MSUD,
that results in physical and mental retardation and death. [v]
The details in the production of proteins and amino acids reveal that
life is arranged in such a way as to leave no room for chance. Not one
single protein can come into being by chance. Neither can the complex
system that manufactures the building blocks of proteins, amino acids
in other words, come about by chance. A far more complex system has
been created for a single product. Any flaw in this structure will
lead, not to progress in living things, but to sickness and death.
Life, with all its details, is a clear miracle from Allah.

Some of our Christian brothers must not misinterpret the love of God. In genuine faith, love of God is experienced together with fear of God.
The basis of all righteousreligions is love. Some people who appear in
the name of God and strive to manipulate religion sometimes promote
terror, war, massacres and lovelessness in the name of religion. No
matter what religion they advocate, these people are definitely
ignorant and imposters because God does not desire any wrongdoing,
rather He desires love, brotherhood, and peace for His servants.
The purpose of this information here is the following: some Christians
introduce their religion as a religion of love while they consider
Judaism, and especially Islam, as areligion based on fear. However
this is a seriouserror. All three major religions, Islam, Judaism,and
Christianity preach love, friendship, and calls people to peace and
brotherhood, for these are what God demands from us. The essence, and
basis of religion is love.
Surely our Christian brothers are right in believing in the purity
oflove. However some of them interpret the concept of love in a
desperate and erroneous way. Some of our Christian brother depart from
the concept that fear and awe of Allah can be reconciled with the love
of Allah, thus they pay no heed tofear of Allah. This attitude is
indeed quite dangerous.
The actual meaning of fear of God
Before explaining the kinds of peril that could result from
misconceptions of this subject, it is of great importance to
understand the definition of what the fear of God is. The majority of
people misunderstand the meaning of the fear of God, and also claim
that fear brings about involuntary faith, which would render that
faith invalid. The fact is however that this is not true. The fear of
God is to submit to God with awe, with a fear that is derived from
respect. Meanwhile, one should avoid an attitude or thought with which
God will not be pleased solelydue to one's deep love of God.
The love of God and fear of God are a whole. A person who loves God
very much deeply fears an act that will offend God or one that will
cause being deprived of His good pleasure. This isactually the fear of
God that a person who loves God experiences. A person who really loves
God remains loyal to Himwith passion, affection, and love no matter
under which conditions he may be or how hard of trials he may undergo.
None of the conditions, occurrences, or hardship can overshadow it or
prevent it. Avoidance of any act that would displease God is a
consequence of profound love of God. Indeed the fear constantly
motivates a person who experiences the love of God. It gives him joy.
It is impossible for such a person to be careless in performing his
acts of worship, intentionally have any flaws in his servanthood or
recklessly engaging inunlawful ( haram ) deeds. Throughout his life, a
person of such sincere faith would do his best to please God.
The necessity of God's wrath upon unbelievers
Al-Muntaqim (the One Who takes revenge), oneof the beautiful names of
God is misinterpreted by some people or it is intentionally distorted.
The wrath of God is only upon mean people, hypocrites, those
committing forgery in the name of God and unbelievers. To believers,
on the other hand, God gives a sense of full security and ease. In one
verse of the Qur'an, God gives the news that there will be no fear for
those who believe, including Christians:
Those who have faith and those who are Jews and the Sabaeans and the
Christians, all who have faith in God and the Last Day and act rightly
will feel no fear and will know no sorrow. (Surat Al-Ma'ida, 69)
Because a person of genuine faith knows God and appreciates Himwith
due measure; he remains distant to God's wrath as long as he serves
God and strives toearn His good pleasure. God takes revenge only from
those who are cruel. This is the law of God. A human being fears God's
wrath only when he wrongs. However when he engages in good deeds and
strives to earn God's good pleasure, he trusts in God and his
conscience remains at ease.
The al-Muntaqim attribute of God is a great blessing for believers.
For instance, seeing that a person who oppresses a little girl and
then murders her is punished in the Hereafter and thus seeing the
manifestationof God's justice is a greatblessing for a believer. This
repayment a cruel person receives in the Hereafter is also a great
blessing for the child who is oppressed. That iswhy just as how
Paradise is a blessing forbelievers so is the Hell where cruel people
are punished. Both Paradise and Hell are the places where God's
infinite justice is manifested in the Hereafter. Those who strive to
oppress prophets, those who betray the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), murder
innocentchildren and human beings have been and will be repaid by our
Lord as a requisite of His beautiful name, al-Muntaqim . The
opportunity of repentance is surely available to each one of them in
this world. However repayment to those who are arrogant and do not
repent is a relief for those who are exposed to cruelty and those who
watch them. Consequently the al-Muntaqim name of God brings joy to a
person of faith who has a conscience.
Fear of God is essential in order to be a good servant of God and to
deserve Paradise
What is explained above are great facts that motivate a person of
faith. The outlook of a person who really loves God and thus severely
fears of having a flaw in his servanthood to God is totally different
from other people. Such a person does not commit unlawful deeds, does
not ignore his acts of worship and remain heedless to the voice of his
conscience. In brief he remains extraordinarily meticulous in
everythinghe strives to earn God's good pleasure. Such a person is
scrupulous, notegotistical and until the end of his life he remains a
self-sacrificingand compassionate person. Such a person never gives
harm to others and fears a lot from doing something for which he will
not be able to give an account to God. He lives every moment of his
life awarethat he will account for them to God and that God watches
him every second. Aware that the real life is not in this world but in
the Hereafter, he feels the joy and fervor of loving God. This
fervency in no way abates until the endof his life.
In the Gospel fear of Godis described with the following words and
thus Christians are calledto fear of God:
… live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear . (1 Peter, 1:17)
Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord , we try to
persuadeothers. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also
plain to your conscience. (2 Corinthians 5:11)
… your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and
for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere
your name , both great and small—and fordestroying those who destroy
the earth." (Revelation 11:18)
… let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and
awe. (Hebrews 12:28)
If a person is not in awe of being a good servant to God, and he
claims to have love of God but does very few things to earn God's good
pleasure, and despite all of these asserts that his love of God
suffices for deliverance in the Hereafter, then this is not the
sincerity God asks from a person. Sucha person apparently lacks the
most basic element –that is fear of God- that will encouragehim for
being a better servant to God. Without being in a spiritual state
between fear and hope, that is not giving a thought to whether his
deeds for God are sufficient or not, a person will believe that his
love of God is enough to deserve Paradise. This is the stateof some
Christians who reject the importance of having fear of God, and simply
believe and advocate that the love ofGod is sufficient. Consequently
these Christian brothers need to ponder once again over the meaning of
the fear of God in the form itis described above and abide by the call
of the Gospel, that is, " [to] worship God acceptably with reverence
and awe." (Hebrews, 12:28)
the name of God and strive to manipulate religion sometimes promote
terror, war, massacres and lovelessness in the name of religion. No
matter what religion they advocate, these people are definitely
ignorant and imposters because God does not desire any wrongdoing,
rather He desires love, brotherhood, and peace for His servants.

deeds for God are sufficient or not, a person will believe that his
love of God is enough to deserve Paradise. This is the stateof some
Christians who reject the importance of having fear of God, and simply
believe and advocate that the love ofGod is sufficient. Consequently
these Christian brothers need to ponder once again over the meaning of
the fear of God in the form itis described above and abide by the call
of the Gospel, that is, " [to] worship God acceptably with reverence
and awe." (Hebrews, 12:28)
