Chapter 11

The Blood's Order, and its Defense and Attacks
on the Body's Calamities

Preface: You have observed the task of this reddish fluid of the body called blood in restoring the deficiencies of each organ. This restoration has been either for the purpose of growth or for the energy depleted by work in each organ.

Hence, it would be appropriate to ponder, in modern terms, on particles discovered in blood and on the defensive and offensive tasks of this system, and become more acquainted with its secrets. Proceeding from this we should explore that, besides putting much wisdom into things, Almighty God has given them, each inherent excellences. The most perfect specification of this secret in animate and inanimate creatures is that most of them regularly restore their bodily depletions, in a cyclical process from the necessary sources, according to Almighty God's wisdom. Laborers are assigned to make things accessible without the smallest delay.

As you observed the excellences of blood, similar situations exist in other living creatures, even in trees and fruits, with the required differences.

Thus, it is obligatory on the aware heart of faithful and knowledgeable people, as soon as possible, to tighten their relationships as required, with Almighty God, via this short path-the study of things.

Victory is upon God.

1. Have you reflected? According to reports, in the course of a minute, there are three hundred living cells being produced in the human body and 18 thousand of them in each hour. Similarly, cells depending on cases are dying and decaying in the body. Namely, the same number of new living cells replaces them. If this waste were not restored in a genuine way, then indeed man would become weak and weaker.

Truly Glorious is He, the Powerful Self-Subsisting (Qayyum ul-Moqtadir) and the Omnipresent Noble (Maajid ul-Haadhir).

2. Have you reflected? The body's pores in the interior are cemeteries for living cells in their weakness. As the cell does not have the full power to perform its activities, it enters a pore. There it remains hoping to restore its energy in order to resume work. It appears on the skin in the form of dirt through sweat and other inherent pressures of the pores, which we consider as "my body is dirty."

3. Have you reflected? Dead molecules, together with sweat, which leaves the body through the pores, are called dirt. It is necessary to remove this from the body as quickly as possible. Therefore a cleaning and washing of the body, at least once a week, in the form of bathing has been recommended in the blessed religion of Islam, by the Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him.

Praise be to the Holy Sovereign Lord (alMalik ul-Qodoos).

4. Have you reflected? Therefore, the washing of the face, hands, and feet at least five times a day is recommended for Muslims by the name of ablution, in the Islamic jurisprudence. This is to remove the dead cells as soon as possible by washing, so that they may not cause a blocking of the sensible pores of the body.

5. Have you reflected? According to reports, on average there are two hundred and twenty four thousand particles in one-millimeter cubic of blood, which cause occasional bleeding to be stopped.

6. Have you reflected? Almighty God is accomplishing not only this wise masterpiece through the blood, but rather blood also stands to fight against all kinds of enemies (microbes) which enter some parts of the body's organs via whatever way. During a conflagration, an intense temperature comes about, called fever.

Without doubt, He is the True Witness (Shaheed ul-Haq), and the Absolutely Most Strong (Qawee Motlaq), may He be Exalted.

7. Have you reflected? Blood circulation gets sometimes into internal combats and set back with the microbes. These microbes may have entered by ways due to carelessness or the lack of cleanliness, and they may have reached some locations in the body. They try to weaken or defeat the red hemoglobin or the blood's cells. These combat and set back a good and intense resistance to these microbes.

Indeed, Glorious He is the Owner of Wisdom and Power.

8. Have you reflected? During an incursion by microbes via the respiratory channel or food or other ways, some kind of a conflagration will take place between red molecules or hemoglobins and the microbes. This combat causes an increase in temperature, convulsion, and restlessness in the body. If body temperature shoots high, it might be good, if the weather is agreeable, to take a shower in clear and fresh water.

9. Have you reflected? If some of these microbes attack molecules of blood, then due to the intensity of the heet, these molecules will attach themselves to other molecules in order to fortify themselves. If the poison of the offensive microbe is strong enough, then those molecules may also get poisoned. This way, many cells clump together and can not exit the body's pores during diaphoresis. This situation is called typhus.

Without doubt, the Supreme (Kibryiaa) and the Unique Creator (Khaaliq), is He Almighty.

10. Have you reflected? The excretion of attached dead blood cells is not achievable until they have diluted themselves and gotten rid of their thickness. This way, they will reach proportionality with pores. Right at this occasion, the patient sweats which stinks and is infectious. This is the first sign of the body's recovery.

How Wise (Hakeem), All-Knowing ('Aleem) is the Supreme Exalted God.

11. Have you reflected? Sweat is blood's filtered water. It comes out through the pores, either due to excess heat, in order to cool down the body and expel dirt from the body, or in intense work conditions and physical activities where the blood circulation is speeded up. The excess blood comes out of the body in the form of sweat, so that filtered blood through capillaries and arteries may as quickly as possible drive the lungs via the heart's pump.

12. Have you reflected? The secrets and mysteries of each organ's accomplishments are not fully explained by this short above-mentioned summary. We just pointed out that, if you, with the help of Almighty God, the Generous Kareem and All-Knowing 'Aleem One, would study the detail about the human body, you shall observe thousands of more secrets and plans of the Wise God. Thereby you will realize that, truly, the ordering of all these delicacies of this organized world, its contents, and billions of other creatures, is the product of the Great Powerful Hand of His Almighty Supreme (Kibriyaa), Glorious Unique Everlasting (Baaqee).
