The Mercy of Allah (God) in the Engineering Design of the Human

Body

Introduction:

If we ponder upon verse 7 of chapter 41 of the Quran which states: (Those

(angels) who bear the Throne and those around it glorify the praises of their

Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe: "Our

Lord! You encompassed everything in mercy and knowledge, so

forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the

torment of the blazing Fire) we find that the angles describe Allah (God) that

He encompassed everything in mercy and knowledge, and if we reflect upon

this description we notice that the angles put the word mercy before

knowledge and keeping in mind that the sequence of words in the Quran

indicates the time sequence of events, which means that the mercy of Allah

(God) proceeded His knowledge.

This means that when Allah (God) wants to create a creature then mercy

requirements are the engineering specifications for this creature and I will

demonstrate this with the following examples taken from the mercy of Allah

(God) in His design of the human body.

The mercy and knowledge of Allah (God) in the design of human bones:

When Allah (God) wanted to create the framework (human skeletal system

shown in figure (1)) which will handle the forces acting on the human body

during physiological functioning His mercy requires that this framework

should be as light as possible such that there would be minimum effort during

movement, and also that the skeletal system would not self-load itself

(meaning that no stress are generated on bone due to its own weight). These

are some of the mercy requirements for the human skeletal system.

Figure (1): The design of Allah (God) for the human skeletal system (Bone is a ceramic material).

The knowledge of Allah (God) now comes to materialize these mercy

requirements, such that we find that Allah (God) created human bones from a

ceramic material as stated in the Quran in verse 14 of chapter 55: (Created

humans from clay like that used in pottery), and knowing that one main

characteristic of a ceramic material is having low weight and large stiffness

which ensures minimum energy generation from skeletal muscles during

functioning. So we notice brothers and sisters that the creation of Allah (God)

is based on mercy (i.e. it is an engineering design based on mercy

specifications) so glory be to Allah (God) The most compassionate The most

merciful.

The mercy and knowledge of Allah (God) in the design of the human brain:

When Allah (God) wanted to create the human brain His mercy requires that

there is rapid transfer of heat from the brain such that there is no

accumulation of heat within it, since the brain produces heat when it

functions as a result of the flow of ionic currents within it (like the flow of an

electric current within a conductor). And if heat accumulates in the brain then

there would be pain and discomfort during functioning.

The knowledge of Allah (God) comes to show this mercy requirement in the

creation of the human brain by creating folds within it (as shown in figure

(2)), such that these folds increase the surface area of the brain and thus

increasing the heat transferred from the brain and as such there is no

accumulation of heat within it, which results in no pain. Figure (3) shows two

equations used to describe heat transfer from the brain.

Figure (2): The design of Allah (God) for the human brain (Folds are seen).

The mercy and knowledge of Allah (God) in the design of the human foot:

When Allah (God) decreed for the human foot to be created then the mercy

requires that minimum effort should be produced from muscles during

walking to eliminate the pain and fatigue experienced by muscles.

The knowledge of Allah (God) showed this mercy requirement in the fact that

He created the human foot in an arc like structure as shown in figure (4).

Such that this design stores mechanical energy when a person starts walking

by pressing down on the foot (like a spring), and when a person wants to lift

his foot then this stored energy is released and pushes the foot upward

thereby reducing the energy needed to be generated by muscles involved in

walking for lifting the leg. This results in maximum comfort and no fatigue for

the muscles involved in walking.

Figure (5) shows the equations describing this storage and release of

mechanical energy in the foot.

The mercy and knowledge of Allah (God) in the design of joints:

When Allah (God) wanted to create the joints of the human body, which are

the places where two bones meet then the mercy requires that there is no

pain when flexing the joint and that there is no risk of skin tearing at these

locations.

The knowledge of Allah (God) comes to show this mercy requirement in the

fact that He created additional skin material at the joints by creating folds of

skin at these locations as shown in figure (6). These folds increase the length

of skin at the joints thereby reducing the strain generated when flexing the

joints which in turn reduces the stress at these locations, and as a result of

this there is no pain when flexing the joints and there is maximum comfort.

Figure (6): The design of Allah (God) for the joints in the human body (skin folds are noticed).

Figure (7): Equations describing strain and stress in the skin at the joints when they are flexed.

We notice brothers and sisters the mercy of Allah (God) in every aspect of our

body and how that His creation is an engineering design based on mercy

requirements. This testifies to the truthfulness of the words of Allah (God) in

verse 34 of chapter 14 of the Quran which states: (And He gave you of all

that you asked for, and if you count the Blessings of Allah (God), never will

you be able to count them. Verily! man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, a

disbeliever) and also we now know why Allah (God) started His book (i.e. The

Quran) with the words: (In the name of Allah (God) The most compassionate

The most merciful).
