Section II

THEOPHANY IN MEGAVERSE AND HUMAN GENOME

“We (Allah) will show them our Signs in the universe, and in their own-selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the Truth.” (AI-Quran 41-53)

“Let God arise, let His enemies (disbelievers) be scattered”. (Bible, Psalms 68: 1-3).

Genome (set of all genes in a body) and Megaverse (all the universes) are increasingly becoming manifest clear to man as Signs of Allah (Theophany).

Two windows, tera-telescopic and nano-microscopic, are sliding vide open with the turn of the dial of the 21st century. Is it just a coincidence that the “Too Big” (Megaverse) and the “too small” (within a Gene) are beginning to manifest the Etern-al Truth at the same time - as promised by Allah about 1400 years ago in the same verse, (41-53)? “It is He (Allah) Who shows you His Signs.” (40-13). As one proceeds from the infinitely big to the infinitesimally small, more evident becomes the Ever All-Omnipotent Presence of the Originator - Creator - Organizer --- Allah. “The Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: “Be!”--- and it is” .

The “Organisation” presiding over the birth, expansion and maintenance of the “universes” (Megaverse) and the known life appears increasingly rational, planned, organized and controlled. It commands increasing admiration and adoration, which destroys the concept that chance could ever play any part in it --- the matter “behaves” under the “Law” only. “Verily, We have created all things in proportion and measure” (54-49). “We created them not except with Truth”).

It is important to clarify that Al-Quran does not aim at explaining in detail the scientific laws governing the Universe. Reference to the Divine Omnipotence is basically aimed at invitation to reflect on the works of Creation of Allah. Some observable phenomena, mentioned in Al-Quran, are yet to be explained scientifically in detail. The Quranic Revelations may refer to a number of phenomena in one Verse covering a number of aspects of different sciences and subjects whereas scientific theories are too narrow and limited. Therefore, they can neither be juxtaposed nor translated to fully project the spirit of a Verse. They can, however, be considered as points for reflection on and understanding of the concerned Verses.

There are deterministic scientific laws created by Allah, but He is Ever All-Powerful Able to do all things irrespective of matter, space and time. Al-Qadir, Al-Qadeer, Al-Muqtadir - ¬Allah makes His manifestation also through phenomena which seem Super-Natural. Human development has not yet reached and will not ever reach a stage to capture all details of such Phenomena.

Science is changing with time. The theory and even some of what is today called law in science may be rejected later. Theory is just a provisional and hypothetical model or a set of rules co-relating quantities based on observation or trail. Theories may also be extensions, modifications, thesis or antithesis of the old ones. There can be distinction between scientific theory and observed facts.

Whereas Al-Quran refers to Eternal Facts (Al-Haq), they are not discovered by experience or experimentation, but were revealed to the Prophets by Allah. Einstein in “Out of My Later Years” observed that science can never give us “spiritual” guidance. He argued that only men to whom Revelation has been vouchsafed, could give us guidance in “spiritual” sphere.

Allah’s Plan or Design is not arbitrary. “And We (Allah) created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose!” (38-27). The two recent gigantic leaps forward on “Superstring Theory” and “Mapping of Human Genome”, at a time when humankind is surrounded by disease and disaster, may prove to be the message of Mercy of Allah. “And when I am ill, it is He (Allah) Who cures me”. (26-80) “He (Allah) has prescribed Mercy for Himself” (6-12). Can man apply these discoveries to his advantage? Has he remained content with only the good of his paradise?

The Quraanic history is testimony and its course is itself evident of implementation of Allah’s Will exactly as Foretold and Promised by Him. “And the Word of your Lord (Allah) has been fulfilled in Truth and in Justice. None can change His Words” (6-115). Of all the Promises of Al-Quran fulfilled, we may quote here just one as an example from the history of nations.

“The Romans have been defeated. In the nearest land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious. Within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after is only with Allah, And on that Day, the believers will rejoice. With the help of Allah. He helps whom He wills, and He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful” (30-2 to 5). “A Promise of Allah and Allah fails not in His Promise, but most of men know not.” .
The Pro-Persia pagan Quresh rejoiced at the defeat of Roman Empire (believers) at the hands of the (non-believers) Persian Empire (614-15 A.C.), and hoped that the helpless nascent movement of Islam, would also collapse similarly (which at that time was facing serve sanctions imposed against Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The Muslims were naturally very much concerned at the defeat of the believers (Christians). At that time Allah revealed the above verses. The Romans became victorious at Issus (622 A.C.) and Heraclius penetrated into Persia (624 A.C.) Simultaneously the battle of Badr (624 A.C.) was the time of rejoicing for the believers. Two Promises of Allah fulfilled exactly at the time, foretold. “And with Allah rests the end of (all) matters.” (22-41).

In clear contrast, however, human claims, although commonly believed in particular times, failed in history, e.g., “Napoleon believed that nothing short of total victory was to be his lot in (his) life”. Communist Manifesto of 1848 predicted that Germany would be the first country to witness communist revolution. Calculated prophesies of doom of Malthus have so far been negated. Similarly, lot of theories have crumbled under their own weight.

Lately, scientists have mainly been describing the Universe in terms of two basic partial theories:-
• General Theory of Relativity describes the forces of gravity and the large-scale structure from a few to billions and billions of miles. Of the observable universe.
• Quantum Mechanics deals with phenomena on extremely small scale, e.g. a millionth of a millionth of an inch.

These theories have given us both, Nuclear Energy and Micro-Electronic Revolution. But we don not yet have a combined or unified Quantum Theory of Gravity. The WHOLE BIG problem is broken in bits. Partial theories have been developed by neglecting effects of some of the quantities and introducing some constants not fully explained. Consequently some of the theories appear contradictory to each other.

Physicists have long worked for a “unified theory” to explain matter and forces. Hundreds of subatomic particles (hadrons) are considered as variations of a “wave” form (“superstring”). The “superstring theory” holds that billions and billions of unseen “strings” pervade the universe, and their different frequencies give rise to all the matter and energy. Certain vibrations also turn into time and space. Nature’s fundamental field is constantly vibrating and “producing”. “Every day He (Allah) is (engaged) in some affair!” (55-29). Quantum physics is now building on a “unified field theory”, justifying Einstein’s faith in the order of the Cosmos. The “Superstring Theory” now expanded to include vibrating membranes (“branes”) may help understand the “universe” more deeply than ever before, with all the forces unified into one. “Branes” are not just two-dimensional “surfaces”. It is being pleaded that the “Universe” is flat. “And the Day when We (Allah) shall roll up the heaven like a scroll rolled up for books. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. A promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it” (21-104). They may be tiny as strings (trillionth of the size of a proton) or spanning across light-years suggesting that the “Megaverse” contains innumerable “universes,” i.e., our universe (three dimensional) is one of many “membranes” (one of many bubbles) that “float” in a multidimensional “Megaverse” (hyperspace).

Cosmologists think that about 90 percent of the universe comprises invisible matter that emits or absorbs no light; it is inferred only through its gravity. “He (Allah) has created the heavens without any pillars that you see”. (31-10). Therefore we cannot explore the surroundings of hyperspace or even sense the existence of other “brane” worlds, possibly governed by different laws of Physics. “All the thankful praises are to Allah, the (only) Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angles messengers with wings, two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Verily, Allah is Able to do all things” (35-1).

Even in our universe there are hundreds of billions of galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars “Verily, We (Allah) have adorned the near heaven with the stars” (37-6). Our milky way is about 100,000 Light Years across and rotating. The stars in its spiral arms orbit around its center about once every several hundred million years. “Verily, Allah grasps the heavens and the earth lest they should move away from their places, and if they were to move away from their places, there is not one that could grasp them after Him (Allah)” (35-41). “With power did We (Allah) construct the heaven. Verily, We (Allah) are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof” (51-47). “And We have guarded it from every outcast satan” (15-17). The nearest star is about 4 LYs or 23 million miles away. Other visible stars to the naked eye are about a few hundred LYs. The Sun is an infinitesimally small element among billions of stars of our Galaxy. The Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun. The Pluto is about 40 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. The distance when doubled represents the largest dimension of our solar system- 7,344 million miles. Sun's light takes about 6 hours to reach Pluto. The light would take 90,000 years to go from one end to the other of the most compact group of our Galaxy. Half of the stars of our Galaxy, say about fifty billion, rotate slowly like our Sun, a characteristic that they are surrounded by planets i.e., their satellites, e.g. Barnard Star. However our Galaxy is only a very small part of the Heavens. Thus can anybody visualise the enormous vastness of even our (one) Universe?

Al-Quran has frequently referred to the earth, the Heavens: (Plurality of the Universes and Planetary systems.), things in the heavens, things on and in the Earth, things between the Heavens and the Earth: (Cosmic extra-galactic material). “The sun and the moon run on their fixed courses calculated with measured out stages for each”. (55-5). “Who (Allah) has created the seven heavens one above another; you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious (Allah)” (67-3). “And indeed We (Allah) created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six Days and nothing of fatigue touched Us.” (50-38). “Blessed is He (Allah) Who has placed in the heaven big stars, and has placed therein a great lamp and moon giving light.” (25-61). “And the heaven: He has raised it high, and He has set up the Balance” (55-7).

Before Islam, man regarded manifestations of nature as “gods”. Arnold Toynbee described this lapse to “superstition”. It is only since last some centuries that the man started harnessing natural resources. It was in such a society that Abraham (A.S.) rejected the moon, the sun, the star and all the idols and found “Allah”. “Thus did we (Allah) show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that he be one of those who have Faith with certainty. “(6-75). To Moses (A.S.) Allah said, “Verily, I am your Lord!” (20-12).

According to Anguste Comte, man’s intellectual development can be divided into three stages theological, meta physical and (logical) positivism, (based on physical observation and calculation). Modern science is however making unification of the first and the last increasingly possible, as theological positivism.

The first verses revealed to Muhammad (SAW) show that God had that time moved forward the intellectual development of mankind to a point from where the new phase was launched with direct reference to the phenomena which were progressi-vely going to be unfolded to the man in future (theological positivism):-“Read: In the name of your Lord (Allah) Who has created. He has created man from a clot”. (96-1 to 2). Even the new millenium is seized with the “Science” pertaining to the two basic phenomena revealed in these Ayat: i.e., Creation (of Megaverse) and Creation of Man (from a set of Genes-ALAQ).

The Promise of Allah is being fulfilled. Let the believers rejoice! Dr. Francis, Director National Human Genome Research Institute declared on 26 June 2000: “We have caught the first glimpses of our instruction book, previously known only to God”. It started 144 years ago with the work of an Austrian monk, Gregor Mendel. Waston and Crick mapped the structure of DNA in the early 1950s. It is an initial step to identify about 30,000 to 150,000 genes and place in correct order the 3.1 billion base pairs, or sub-units that make up human DNA (Dioxyribonuclic acid) consisting of four different sugars called nucleotides that interact with one another in specific ways: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G)- the alphabet of life! i.e., the nucleotides put into a sequence (e.g. GATCATCCG etc.) determine how a living thing functions. Each nucleotide is composed of three sub-units: a nitrogen-containing compound, a sugar, and phosphoric acid. Geometrically, a gene is a double helix formed by the nucleotides, looking like a long inter twining ladder. It is a segment of DNA containing chemical instruction i.e., a “sentence” necessary to make a specific enzyme or other protein or replicate itself. The genetic code is the “Word” or “chemical spelling”, that turns a particular gene “on” or “off”, leading to a biological or functional effect (KALIMATULLAH= The Word of God. The Word “KUN” is called KALIMATU ‘LHAZRAH= The Fiat of God when He said “Be” and it was). “Verily, His (Allah’s) Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, “Be!” - and it is!” (36-82) “Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He (Allah) created him from dust, then He (Allah) said to him: “Be!”- and he was.” (3-59). “Hussain says by this expression is meant he who was born at the express “Fiat” of God (Thomas Patrick Hughes ).

DNA has a large vocabulary storage -the number of “words” (just 1% the active DNA) if converted into an ordinary language will need a big library. The Human Genome is about 1.5 meters long and has 3 billion letters. The recombinant DNA infinitely increases this potential further. “Say (O Muhammad SAW): “If the sea were ink for the Words of my Lord, surely the sea would be exhausted before the Words of my Lord would be finished, even if we brought like it for its aid”. (18-109).

The combinations of “letters” encoded on DNA are sufficient to create every life form on Earth, from bacteria to all plants, and animals. Human body represents variants of DNA built by itself. Everything one can think, speak or do is “programmed” into the “one” original molecule. Each cell contains all of DNA’s infinite possibilities all the time. “And everything they have done is noted in Records”. “And everything, small and big, is written down (54-52 to 53). “No calamity befalls on the earth or in “Yourselves” but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees before We bring it into existence. (57-22). “And all things We (Allah) have recorded in a Book”. (78-29). “And that it is He (Allah) Who makes laugh, and makes weep”. (53-43) “Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us”. (9-51). “For such (believers) He (Allah) has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with spirit (Ruuh) from Himself”. (58-22) “Then the angels called him (Zakariya (A.S.), while he was standing in prayer in a praying place: “Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya (John), confirming the Word from Allah, noble, keeping away from sexual relations with women, a Prophet, from among the righteous”. (3-39). This amply shows that human behavior is the function of the written “Word” of Allah! “(Remember) when the angels said: “O Mary Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word from Him, his name will be the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary held on honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah.”.

Any one cell from the body can produce any number of identical copies (clones). Amoeba as well as man are contained in the little DNA, which is not proportional to the complexity or size of an organism, e.g., a lily contains about a hundred times more DNA than a human being.

The nucleus of each cell has complete set (23) of chromosomes. Each chromosome of each species has a definite number and arrangement of genes (strand of DNA). The coding portions are called exons and the noncoding (junk) as introns (although necessary for proper functioning of the genes). Genes located in reproductive cells pass their information to the next generation. Although the scientists have unraveled the sequence of 97% of the Genome’s “letters” and “words” but they know the order of only 53 percent of them. It is only this partial understanding of the Genome which has created so much jubilation! The mystery is still more confounded than unraveled! When scientists had reached the stage of breaking the “atom” they thought that they had almost reached the end of physics. But after decades they realised that it was just a beginning of a long journey into the vast world of atom.

DNA builds RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) which is its nearly identical twin and active counterpart. “RNA is like active knowledge, in comparison to DNA’s silent intelligence”. DNA works from “memory” and can also produce new chemicals, e.g., when a new antibody enters the system to which it was never before exposed. Consequently, when we know the exact “misspelling” we can “graft” a correct spelling onto the targeted gene to cure or correct it. RNA leaves the nucleus and links up with protein-making units within the cell (Ribosomes). The RNA and Ribosomes interact to assemble amino acids based on the instruction from the DNA code. RNA produces more than 2 million proteins that actually build and repair the body. “Whatever of good reaches you is from Allah; But whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself”, (4-79) Living body is new every moment! That is the dilemma confronting the scientists!

DNA can be obtained through blood samples, excretions or even the tiny skin flakes. Genes can be seen only through special electronic microscopes. Reykjavik company plans to cross-reference health care records with genealogical and genetic databases tracing family relationships of not only almost every Icelander alive, but nearly everyone who lived their for centuries past. “Say: (O Muhammad SAW) “He (Allah) will give life to them Who (Allah) created them for the first time! And He is the All-knower of every creation!” (36-79). “On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together and inform them of what they did. Allah has kept account of it, while they have forgotten it. And Allah is Witness over all things”. (58-6). In genetic terms every individual is 99.8 per cent the same as every other. Mountain View Corporation is working to identify even still smaller changes that make one person different from another, called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs, pronounced “snips”), which represent interchanging of basic components of DNA, e.g. “A” becoming a “T” or a “G” or a “C”. New Haven Genaissance Pharmaceuticals is taking the SNP research still further into collections of differences in genes known as “haplotypes” possibly to identify precise genetic ‘bar codes’ that influence individual responses to drugs.

The strange phenomenon of heredity is too fascinating. Hippocrates thought that “instructional particles” were developed in the adult body, whereas Aristotle visualised that they were constant and inherent in gametes- (the ‘sex cells’ though not known at that time). DNA itself is the stablest chemical in the body, which makes inheritance possible. Nothing is lost in DNA. “The Sentence that comes from Me (Allah) cannot be changed, and I am not unjust to the slaves”. (50-29).

Over 98 per cent of our genes are identical to that of a chimp and close to that of a mouse. This very small variation makes the whole world of difference! “Those who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, and those of whom He transformed into monkeys and swines, and those who worshipped Evil (Taghut); such are worse in rank and far more astray from the Right Path”. (5-60) “And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We (Allah) said to them: “Be you monkeys, despised and rejected”. (2-65). “O you who have been given the Scripture! Believe in what We (Allah) have revealed confirming what is with you, before We efface faces and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers” (4-47). “To transfigure you and create you in (forms) that you know not” .

Two chromosomes “unite” to form a "zygote" at the moment of conception. “And Allah did create you from dust, then from semen droplet then He made you pairs. And no female conceives or gives birth but with His knowledge. And no aged man is granted length of life nor is a part cut off from his life, but is in a Book. Surely, that is easy for Allah” (35¬-11). DNA’s dynamism is not visible in its material makeup. Although the wonder “inside” the cell is no less amazing, but the greater wonder “outside” is more flabbergasting that who coordinates subsequent multiplication into and activities of the two, four and so on and who decides which each of the cell will ultimately be responsible for the “development” of separate systems e.g., sight, hearing, etc. “It is He (Allah), Who has created for hearing (ears), eyes (sight), and hearts (understanding)” (23-78). “Who (Allah) made everything He has created good and He began the creation of man from clay. Then He made his offspring from semen of despised water. Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him the soul; and He gave you hearing (ears), sights (eyes) and hearts. Little is the thanks you give!” (32-7 to 9). “Verily, We created man in the best stature (mould)” (59-4). Soon the scientists may have to admit that there is yet some other Super-Natural “Act”, the Ultimate Eternal Truth, which holds the control board of the “machine” seemingly placed on the “Auto-mode”. “But you cannot will, unless Allah will” (76-30). “And indeed We (Allah) have created man, and We know what his “ownself” whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein” (50¬ 16). The “Genome” might lead closer to understanding “NAFS” operation under the Decree of Allah (AMR i.e. Ruuh) inspired into it. “They ask thee concerning the Spirit, say: “The Spirit is of the Command of my Lord of Knowledge, it is only a little that is communicated to you” (17-85). Some scholars have translated “NAFS” as “Soul”, “body”, “mind”, “person” etc. “NAFS” is used to denote the reflective meaning (VHQ, IQRA). “SELF” however conveys fuller meaning more closely.

Computer uses electrical impulses separated from one another by empty gaps, as coded data based on 1 and 0. The human brain also uses coded information, but the gaps in between do not seem to be empty. It is still a hidden vast world of mystery and wonder. Humans do not use their full intelligence. William James thought that we use only 5 percent of our intelligence. The brain does not just send impulses travelling in straight lines down the trunks (axons) but it freely transmits intelligence through out the entire body through intelligent chemicals (Neurotransmitters and Neuropoplites). Amazingly these are not only made by the brain, whose function is to think, but by the immune system”, also whose primary role is to protect from disease. The floating “intelligence” - as against being localised in the brain” only - i.e. “stream of consciousness” is possessed by the DNA in every cell. Al-Quran does not localize intelligence in brain as is evident from the words used in this regard. [(“FUWAD’= “enlightened heart” (Mufridatul Quran), mind (F.Steingass), SADR = Prim, Chest, Breast, Thorax (ALMAWRID), Foremost or Upper part of anything (F.S.). QALB = Center, Core, Kernel, Marrow, (F.S.)]. Dr. Pert, Director of the Brain Bio-Chemistry Division at the National Institute of Mental Health, pointed out that it is quite arbitrary to say that a biochemical like DNA or a neurotransmitter belongs to the body rather than the mind. DNA is almost as much knowledge as it is matter. Dr. Pert refers to the entire “mind-body” system as a “network of information” and prefers to use one term for both --- bodymind.”

Fruit flies sing in the evening to call their mates quite rhythmically. Ronald Konopka, a research professor at Clarkson University, first linked this rhythm to the “per gene” (per = “periodic”). When it mutates, it produces faster or slower intervals between calls. Each kind of fly “times” its existence to a different length of day. All animal behaviour and functions are inspired (programmed) by Allah. “And your Lord inspired the bee, saying: “take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect”. (16¬-68). The fruit fly does not care when the sun rises or sets; when its song changes, the day changes. Its sense of time comes from within. activated by the “per gene”. A similar effect is seen in man if confined to a cave where he cannot see the sun and a clock. He will sleep and wake up on a regular cycle not of 24 hours but generally of 25 hours ¬this seems to be the daily or circadian rhythm that DNA builds into him. This is a partial scientific observation under the given conditions. Much bigger phenomena however offer open invitation to all for reflection e.g. “(Remember) when the young men fled for refuge to the Cave. They said: “Our Lord! Bestow on us mercy from Yourself, and facilitate for us our affair in the right way!” “Therefore, We (Allah) covered up their hearing in the Cave for a number of years”. “Then We (Allah) raised them up that We might test which of the two parties was best at calculating the time period that they had tarried”. (18-10 to12). “And you might have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right from their Cave and when it set, turning away from them to the left while they lay in the midst of the Cave. That is of the Signs of Allah” (18¬-17).

Michael Young of Rockefeller University, and Konopka jointly discovered that the “per gene” codes certain proteins in the cell that regulate rhythm making the day seem long or short to the fly. These have also been found in human beings. DNA manipulates rhythms, or vibrations, that we decode into time. Other vibrations are decoded into light, sound, texture, smells, etc. Sir Arthur Eddington calls all these “fancies of the mind”, i.e. our sensory input is only a single transmitted to us via DNA - abstract vibrations appearing “real” events in time and space with the capability to, “Sense” very minute variation. “By the “self” (NAFS) and Him (Allah) Who perfected him in proportion;” “Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him”. (91-7 to 8). “And shown him the two ways (good and evil)?” (90-10). If a gene can regulate time besides “self”, then it can possibly regulate space, too. Subjectively, time and space depend on one’s own participation. According to Einstein there is no fixed time in the relative world. Biological process (aging) depends upon how fast one travels in space. “He (Allah) manages and regulates affair from the heavens to the earth; then it will go up to Him, in one Day, the space whereof is a thousand years of your reckoning” (32-5). “God knows best and time will show” (F.Steingass).

Matter can be described in terms of energy (frequency) corresponding to a type of particle. Can this lead to the micro-marriage of micro-wave with the micro-thread of life (DNA) on the platform of a chip? Can the Sciences like Physics and Biology unify through the language of Chemistry? There is yet another revolution taking place from Electronics to Photonics. Will the Crisscross unifications be possible through Photons?
“Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as a niche and within it a lamp: the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom he wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-¬Knower of everything”.

Other challenges which still exist before man are the unification of facts about life and death (Dead? “matter” and living “Self”). Some scientists believe that the molecular clock is a sort of chemical code imprinted on the DNA, which is read in sequence from the moment of conception till death. But who regulates it?! “For every news there is a reality and you will come to know”.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “All of the Prophets were given such miracles as inspired people to believe. And the miracle that I have been given is the Quran” - (Bukhari).

“Nay! This is a Glorious Quran. In a Tablet Preserved” (85¬21 to 22). “And Verily, it is in the Mother of the Book with Us, (Allah) indeed Exalted, Full of Wisdom”.
