Reflection on Allah’s Creation of Man.

The Shaykh : If we reflect on man and on yourselves, do you not see? This air comes out of the lung as air, then it passes by a part of the throat, or the tip, or the tongue, or the gums. When it passes by this side, it becomes an alif; when it passes by the second, it becomes a ba; when it passes by the third, it becomes a ha; and when it passes by the fourth, it becomes... Count them: twenty-eight letters. The air is one, and its exit is one, but when it passes by one side of the mouth or throat or tongue, it becomes one letter, and when it passes by another side, it becomes another letter. This happens easily, without hardship, without operating machines, and without moving a needle. Who created this? Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
Then, this food that descends to the stomach—do you think it just descends like that and then goes down to the bottom? No, there are various processing plants, each of which secretes something specific to it, until the food is prepared and transformed into blood and into greater nourishment. Some people who have knowledge of anatomy say that the greatest factory in the world is the factory in the human body, which is diverse and different. Who created this? Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Allah the Exalted said: When a person reflects on these great creations, he is amazed.
