The human body is so sophisticated and complex it is a proof of Allah ﷻ being the only creator.

Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’aan:

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍۢ (سورة التين : ٤)

“We have certainly created man in the best stature.” (Soorat at-Teen:4)

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ بَشَرًۭا فَجَعَلَهُۥ نَسَبًۭا وَصِهْرًۭا ۗ(سورة الفرقان : ٥٤)

“And it is He Who has created from water a human being and made him [ a relative by ] lineage and marriage.” (Soorat al-Furqaan:54)

• Scientists have only recently discovered that the human body consists of over 70% water. However, Muslims knew this and believed it more than one thousand four hundred years ago. There is a lot of other proofs in the Qur’aan that have been researched by scientists. As Muslims, we accept the Qur’aan and authentic Sunnah, regardless of whether scientists agree or disagree with what is mentioned in them. This is because the Qur’aan and authentic Sunnah are perfect in everyway.

The following are few examples of the amazing features of the human body:

1. A human being’s heart starts to beat when he/she is still in his/her mother’s womb, without stopping, and carries on for his entire lifetime. It beats approximately 100,000 times a day and rests half a second be tween each beat.
2. The skin is more complicated than people think. It consists of nerves, blood vessels, ventilation systems and temperature regulators. The skin is also 100% waterproof.
3. The arteries, veins and capillaries would cover the surface area of three tennis courts, if laid out flat.

• There are many more examples of the intricacies, the astounding nature, and details with which the human body has been created, which bring us to the conclusion that only Allah ﷻ could have created us. The human being is a very special creation. All humans are descendants of Aadam (عليه السلام) . Muslims firmly believe that it is wrong to think that humans evolved from monkeys or apes.

What we learn from the lesson:

1. All human beings are descendants of Aadam (عليه السلام)
2. Aadam (عليه السلام) was created by Allah ﷻ .
3. Human beings did not evolve from apes or monkeys.
4. Scientific facts about the human body show that we were created by Allah ﷻ .

“Discussion:”

1. How many times does the average heart beat in a month ?
2. Name four things contained in the skin.
