<title>HEART MASSAGE</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=20588</link>
<description><![CDATA[ Many miraculous features of the Qur&rsquo;an prove it is the word of Allah. Facts are revealed in the verses through the scientific facts, the descriptions of the past and the mathematical codes, that could never have been known to anyone at the time. In addition, developments that could never have been learned with the level of knowledge and technology of the time were also indicated in the verses of the Qur&rsquo;an before the event. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 

The fact that some scientific facts we only attained with 20th and 21st-century technology were revealed in the Qur&rsquo;an 1400 years ago is clear evidence that the Qur&rsquo;an cannot be the work of any human being. 

One of the verses that may be referring to the future is verse 73 of Surat al-Baqara:

Remember when you killed someone and violently accused each other of it, and Allah brought out what you were hiding. We said, &lsquo;Hit him with part of it!&rsquo; In that way Allah gives life to the dead and He shows you His signs so that hopefully you will understand. (Surat al-Baqara, 72-73)

Among the meanings of the Arabic term &ldquo;biba&rsquo;diha,&rdquo; translated as &ldquo;with part of it&rdquo; in the above verse, is &ldquo;someone or some people.&rdquo; In the context of that meaning, the verse may be a reference to heart massage, striking the chest from above, which makes it possible to restart the heart if it has stopped beating. (Allah knows the truth.) 

The person to whom the massage is administered has the characteristics of a dead body; loss of consciousness, and the cessation of respiration and heartbeat. With our present-day knowledge, heart massage can be applied to someone whose heart has stopped, enabling heartbeat and vital functions to resume. Pressure is applied to the rib cage at specific intervals during heart massage, and the rhythmic contraction required for it to continue pumping blood is thus established. 

In that context, the striking of a dead body in such a way as to restore it to life, as stated in the verse, may be suggestive of the heart massage technique. The Qur&rsquo;an is the word of Almighty Allah, He Who creates all things from nothing, Whose knowledge enfolds all things, and Who is unfettered by time and space. Every verse of the Qur&rsquo;an therefore contains information revealed with the wisdom of our Almighty Lord. In one verse, Allah refers to the Qur&rsquo;an itself as follows:

... Will they not ponder the Qur&rsquo;an? If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it. (Surat an-Nisa&rsquo;, 82)

<title>THE RETINA: THE LAYER OF THE EYE</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=20581</link>
<description><![CDATA[ The retina is a layer of the eye that contains cells that allow us to see. At the time of the revelation of the Qur&rsquo;an, this layer that made sight possible was unknown and the term retina was not in use. Yet the letters that comprise the word &ldquo;retina&rdquo; appear side by side in only one place in the Qur&rsquo;an, in verse 8 of Surah Fatir. This verse also refers to &ldquo;seeing,&rdquo; for which reason there is a strong possibility that it refers to the retina. (Allah knows the truth.)

And what of him the evil of whose actions seem fine to him so that he sees them as good? Allah misguides whoever He wills and guides whoever He wills. So do not let yourself waste away out of regret for them. Allah knows what they do&hellip; (Surah Fatir, 8)

This verse, which contains the word &ldquo;retina&rdquo; that makes sight possible, refers to the Arabic verb &ldquo;raa,&rdquo; meaning &ldquo;to see.&rdquo; Verse 19 contains the sentence &quot;The blind and seeing are not the same.&quot; Damage to the retina can lead to permanent blindness. Verse 20 refers to &quot;nor are darkness and light.&quot; That term is highly significant in terms of the formation of the retina&rsquo;s light-sensitive calls. All these terms regarding sight are very rare in the Qur&rsquo;an. The fact that the word &ldquo;retina&rdquo; appears only in these verses out of thousands, is another of Allah&rsquo;s miracles in the Qur&rsquo;an.

<title>AN EXAMPLE OF IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY: THE EYE OF THE LOBSTER</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=17156</link>
<description><![CDATA[ There are many different types of eye in the living world. We are accustomed to the camera-type eye found in vertebrates. This structure works on the principle of the refraction of light, which falls onto the lens and is focused on a point behind the lens inside the interior of the eye.

However, the eyes possessed by other creatures work by different methods. One example is the lobster. A lobster's eye works on a principle of reflection rather than that of refraction.

The most outstanding characteristic of the lobster eye is its surface, which is composed of numerous squares. As shown in the picture on the next page, these squares are positioned most precisely.

The eye of a lobster shows a remarkable geometry not found elsewhere in nature - it has tiny facets that are perfectly square, so it &quot;looks like perfect graph paper.&quot;

These well-arranged squares are in fact the ends of tiny square tubes forming a structure resembling a honeycomb. At first glance, the honeycomb appears to be made up of hexagons, although these are actually the front faces of hexagonal prisms. In the lobster's eye, there are the squares in place of hexagons.

Even more intriguing is that the sides of each one of these square tubes are like mirrors that reflect the incoming light. This reflected light is focused onto the retina flawlessly. The sides of the tubes inside the eye are lodged at such perfect angles that they all focus onto a single point.





The extraordinary nature of the design of this system is quite indisputable. All of these perfect square tubes have a layer that works just like a mirror. Furthermore, each one of these cells is sited by means of precise geometrical alignments so that they all focus the light at a single point.

It is obvious that the design in the lobster eye presents a great difficulty for the theory of evolution. Most importantly, it exemplifies the concept of &quot;irreducible complexity.&quot; If even one of its features - such as the facets of the eye, which are perfect squares, the mirrored sides of each unit, or the retina layer at the back - were eliminated, the eye could never function. Therefore, it is impossible to maintain that the eye evolved step-by-step. It is scientifically unjustifiable to argue that such a perfect design as this could have come about haphazardly. It is quite clear that the lobster eye was created as a miraculous system.

One can find further traits in the lobster's eye that nullify the assertions of evolutionists. An interesting fact emerges when one looks at creatures with similar eye structures. The reflecting eye, of which the lobster's eye was one example, is found in only one group of crustaceans, the so-called long-bodied decapods. This family includes the lobsters, the prawns and the shrimp.

The other members of the crustacea class display the &quot;refracting type eye structure&quot;, which works on completely different principles from those of the reflecting type. Here, the eye is made up of hundreds of cells like a honeycomb. Unlike the square cells in a lobster eye, these cells are either hexagonal or round. Furthermore, instead of reflecting light, small lenses in the cells refract the light onto the focus on the retina.

The majority of crustaceans have the refracting eye structure. On the contrary, only one group of the crustaceans, namely the long-bodied decapods, have reflecting eyes. According to evolutionist assumptions, all the creatures within the class Crustacea should have evolved from the same ancestor. Therefore, evolutionists claim that reflecting eye evolved from a refracting eye, which is far more common among the crustacea and of a fundamentally simpler design.

However, such reasoning is impossible, because both eye structures function perfectly within their own systems and have no room for any &quot;transitional&quot; phase. A crustacean would be left sightless and would be eliminated by natural selection if the refracting lens in its eye were to diminish and be replaced by reflecting mirrored surfaces.

It is, therefore, certain that both of these eye structures were designed and created separately. There is such superb geometric precision in these eyes that entertaining the possibility of &quot;coincidence&quot; is simply ludicrous. Just like the rest of the miracles of creation, the lobster's eye structure is an open testimony to the Creator's boundless power to create flawlessly. This is nothing but a manifestation of God's endless knowledge, wisdom and might. We can encounter such miracles as these regardless of what we examine in the world of creation.

<title>THE CONSTANT BEATING OF THE HEART</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=11983</link>
<description><![CDATA[ While we are still a single cell, as yet unformed, in our mother&rsquo;s wombs, some of the cells that make up our bodies decide to become the heart, and others to form the eye. Unconscious cells turn into exceedingly complex organs through the will of Allah (God). From that moment, the cells that Allah commands to turn into the heart commence beating, and continue doing so until we draw our last breaths. The heart continues beating uninterrupted as we run, walk, work and even sleep. Although people are unconscious when they are asleep, the way the heart still keeps beating is a miracle that takes place by Allah&rsquo;s choosing. The way that Allah keeps our hearts beating is a great blessing, because we have no power to keep the heart beating regularly, or to speed it up or slow it down as necessary. Allah has mercy on human beings by maintaining that blessing. Allah&rsquo;s creation is described as follows in one verse: 
 Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High: He Who created and molded; He Who determined and guided. (Surat al-A&lsquo;la, 1-3) ]]></description>
