Journey of the blood


The human heart beats about 100,000 times a day. At this rate it still takes it thirty years to beat one billion times….


Blood begins its journey in the arteries as pure oxygenated blood and flows to different parts of the body. It returns to the veins that carry impure blood from different parts of the body. The impure venous blood flows from the right side of the heart to the lungs for purification.


Who did manufacture that perfect design, coincidence or blind nature!!!?

In the lungs, when we inhale oxygen, the latter comes in contact with the impure blood and a sort of combustion takes place with the blood being purified. The blood gives out carbonic acid generated from the poisonous matter and takes in oxygen. The purified blood is taken by the four pulmonary veins to the left ventricle. The blood is later pumped from the left ventricle into the aorta, from the aorta; it passes to the different arteries of the body. The pure blood from the arteries goes to the capillaries. From the capillaries, it goes to the tissues. The tissues take in the oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. The veins carry the impurities to the right side of the heart.

We have to ask some primitive questions to atheists and disbelievers and they have to answer it by little common sense:

Length of circulatory system of human ranges from 50,000 to 60000 miles in a child's body and close to 100,000 miles in an adult. Scientists say that the circumference of the earth at the equator is 25,000 miles, if the blood vessels of an adult were lined up end to end, they would circle the equator four times! Who manufactured that precise design?
The human heart beats about 100,000 times a day. At this rate it still takes it thirty years to beat one billion times. Can any disbeliever or atheist tell us about any human made any machine that works for 30 years without stop or any type of maintenance? (At end there must be a creator for any thing).
The blood needs 20 seconds to circulate in the whole circulatory system. Who created that system, coincidence or nature?

Any reasonable man should reach one result that there is only one great creator who created all of that. Allah says: ((such is) the artistry of God, who disposes of all things in perfect order: for he is well acquainted with all that ye do.) (Sûrat Al-Naml-verse88).

Pusat Dusta


“Ketahuilah, sungguh jika Dia tidak berhenti (berbuat demikian) niscaya Kami tarik ubun-ubunnya, (yaitu) ubun-ubun orang yang mendustakan lagi durhaka. ….

Para ilmuwan baru-baru ini melakukan sejumlah kajian dalam rangka untuk menemukan kebohongan dan hasil dari kajian ini, mereka menemukan bahwa daerah yang bertanggung jawab atas kebohongan adalah otak manusia bagian depan yang terletak di bagian yang disebut الناصية (ubun-ubun). Yang mengagumkan adalah bahwa Al-Quran sejak berabad-abad yang lalu telah berbicara tentang fungsi ubun-ubun ini ketika membicarakan Abu Jahl:


كَلَّا لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ لَنَسْفَعَنْ بِالنَّاصِيَةِ * نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ) [العلق: 15-16]

“Ketahuilah, sungguh jika Dia tidak berhenti (berbuat demikian) niscaya Kami tarik ubun-ubunnya[1], (yaitu) ubun-ubun orang yang mendustakan lagi durhaka.

[1] Maksudnya: memasukkannya ke dalam neraka dengan menarik kepalanya.


Al-Quran memberikan sifat كاذبة خاطئة (mendustakan lagi durhaka). Kenyataan seperti inilah yang ditemukan para ilmuwan pada masa sekarang ini dengan menggunakan pemindaian resonansi magnetik. Maha Suci Allah Yang telah menyatakan fakta ini yang menunjukkan kemukjizatan Al-Quran yang baru ditemukan pada masa sekarang ini.

Ketika Api Bertemu dengan Air

Biarkan gambar berbicara tentang kebesaran Sang Pencipta dalam ciptaan-Nya dan kemampuan-Nya. ….

Biarkan gambar berbicara tentang kebesaran Sang Pencipta dalam ciptaan-Nya dan kemampuan-Nya. Pemandangan yang luar biasa ini menunjukkan kuasa Allah terhadap segala sesuatu. Yang penting bagi kita adalah agar kita mengingat siksaan Allah yang lebih besar dan lebih kekal .....

Sebuah gambar yang indah dari situs web National Geographic di sisi pulau Hawaii, di mana api bercampur dengan air. Meskipun volume air tersebut berlimpah, ia tidak mampu memadamkan api, dan meskipun api itu juga sedemikian besarnya, tidak mampu mengubah air menjadi uap. Pemandangan ini memperlihatkan keseimbangan yang menakjubkan yang telah berlangsung ribuan tahun. Allah Ta`ala berfirman:


وَالطُّورِ * وَكِتَابٍ مَسْطُورٍ * فِي رَقٍّ مَنْشُورٍ * وَالْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُورِ * وَالسَّقْفِ الْمَرْفُوعِ * وَالْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ * إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَاقِعٌ (الطور: 1-7).

Demi bukit, dan kitab yang ditulis, pada lembaran yang terbuka, dan demi Baitul Ma'mur, dan atap yang ditinggikan (langit), dan laut yang di dalam tanahnya ada api, sesungguhnya azab Tuhanmu pasti terjadi.

Kenapa nabi saw mengharamkan berkhalwat dengan wanita (bukan mahram)?


Mengapa Nabi saw mengharamkan khalwah antara laki-laki dengan wanita atau melihat ….

Mengapa Nabi saw mengharamkan khalwah antara laki-laki dengan wanita atau melihat sesuatu yang diharamkan Allah? Apa hikmah ilmiah larangan ini? Mari kita baca berita ilmiah ini…

"Cukuplah anda duduk selama lima menit dengan seorang wanita sampai Anda memiliki proporsi tinggi dari hormon meningkat" inilah temuan studi ilmiah baru-baru ini yang dimuat pada Daily Telegraph!

Para peneliti di Universitas Valencia menegaskan bahwa seorang yang berkhalwat dengan wanita menjadi daya tarik yang akan menyebabkan kenaikan sekresi hormon kortisol. adapun Kortisol adalah hormon yang bertanggung jawab terjadinya stres dalam tubuh. Meskipun subjek penelitian mencoba untuk melakukan penelitian atau hanya berpikir tentang wanita yang sendirian denganya namun hal tersebut tidak mampu mencegah tubuh dari sekresi hormon.

Para ilmuwan mengatakan bahwa hormon kortisol sangat penting bagi tubuh dan berguna untuk kinerja tubuh tetapi dengan syarat mampu meningkatkan proporsi yang rendah, namun jika meningkat hormon dalam tubuh dan berulang terus proses tersebut, maka yang demikian dapat menyebabkan penyakit serius seperti penyakit jantung dan tekanan darah tinggi dan berakibat pada diabetes dan penyakit lainnya yang mungkin meningkatkan nafsu seksual.


Bentuk yang menyerupai alat proses hormon penelitian tersebut berkata bahwa stres yang tinggi hanya terjadi ketika seorang laki-laki berkhalwat dengan wanita asing (bukan mahram), dan stres tersebut akan terus meningkat pada saat wanitanyamemiliki daya tarik lebih besar! Tentu saja, ketika seorang pria bersama dengan wanita yang merupakan saudaranya sendiri atau saudara dekat atau ibunya sendiri tidak akan terjadi efek dari hormon kortisol. Seperti halnya ketika pria duduk dengan seorang pria aneh, hormon ini tidak naik. Hanya ketika sendirian dengan seorang pria dan seorang wanita yang aneh!

Para peneliti mengatakan bahwa pria ketika ada perempuan asing disisinya, dirinya dapat membayangkan bagaimana membangun hubungan dengannya (jika tidak emosional), dan dalam penelitian lain, para ilmuwan menekankan bahwa situasi ini (untuk melihat wanita dan berpikir tentang mereka) jika diulang, mereka memimpin dari waktu ke waktu untuk penyakit kronis dan masalah psikologis seperti depresi.

Nabi saw mengharamak "khalwat"

Kita semua tahu hadits yang terkenal yang mengatakan: "Tidaknya ada orang yang seorang laki-laki berkhlawat dengan wanita kecuali setan adalah yang ketiga, hadits ini menegaskan diharamkannya berkhalwat bagi seorang pria dengan wanita asing atau bukan mahramnyaI . karena itu Nabi saw melalui syariat ini menginginkan kita menghindari banyak penyakit sosial dan fisik.

Ketika seorang beriman mampu menghindari diri dari melihat wanita (yang bukan mahram) dan menghindari diri dari berkhalwat dengan mereka, maka ia mampu mencegah penyebaran amoralitas dan dengan demikian melindungi masyarakat dari penyakit epidemi dan masalah sosial, dan mencegah individu dari berbagai penyakit ... Kami sampaikan kepada mereka yang tidak puas dengan agama kami yang hanif: Bukankah Islam sebagai agama layak dihormati dan diikuti?

Effect of Kind Words


"speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practise regular charity" ….


Many people do not know the influence of a word on others. A good word may be a reason for healing someone or pleasing another. A bad word may be a reason in hurting others more than hitting! What made me write this article is a study conducted by American researchers on the influence of a bad word, but before we introduce the results of this study which was published in the Psychology Sciences newspaper, I would like to share with you a precious verse on the influence of a word.

Almighty says, "Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,- of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition. * It brings forth its fruit at all times, by the leave of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition. * And the parable of an evil Word is that of an evil tree: It is torn up by the root from the surface of the earth: it has no stability."[Ibrahim: Abraham: 24-26]

The Greatest Prophet substantiated this meaning when he said a man utters irresponsibly a word which makes him enter Paradise, and that a man says irresponsibly a word which throws him in Hell for seventy autumns!

This means that a believer should be accurate in what he says and should choose always a good word because a word has a great influence on man. Researchers said on (BBC Homepage) that the saying, "A stick and stones may break bones when words do not hurt" is not true. Painful memories geared to emotional experiences are more painful than those related to physical pain.

Researchers of this study said that changes that happen in the brain and allow us to work in group or societal frame may be the key for understanding this issue. The study sample included volunteering students who were asked to write about their painful physical and emotional experiences. Then, a tough mental test was conducted after a short time of writing these experiments.

The main principle that the study depended on was that whenever the experience which the student remembered was more painful, his performance on the test was worse. Results were better when remembering physical pain than emotional pain. Shinsung Zein, a researcher from Purdue University, Indiana, USA, said that it is difficult to revive the remembrance of physical pain compared to social and emotional pain.


here is a side in the brain that may be responsible for experiences and painful words that man faces, that is the cerebral cortex which performs difficult processes including thinking, perception and language. This part of the brain enhances man's ability to adapt with other groups and cultures, besides, it is responsible for the reaction to pain that has a relation to the group.

Michael Hojsman, a Child Psychology specialist in Germany, said that it is probable that several parts of the brain deal with emotional pain which is considered to have a long range effect. That is, in physical pain you can see wounds and bruises while emotional pain leaves mostly concern and fear. If pupils said to a classmate that they will punish him after classes, he will live anxiety and fear more than what may actually happen to him.

What we benefit from these results

Such studies conducted by non-Muslims confirm the trueness of the Islam message. Allah commanded us to choose our words that do not hurt others, and positively influence others. These verses point that.

Almighty says, "Kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants, and He is Most-Forbearing."[Al-Baqara: The Cow: 263] He said also, "and shun the word that is false" [Al-Hajj: The Pilgrimage: 30]. Allah ordered us to call people gently, carry out good argument and choose the word that is more influential and leaves a positive effect on others to get the correct idea about Islam. Almighty says, "Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance." [An-Nahl: The Bee: 125]

These studies should increase our assurance of the impact of the good word. The good word is a charity as told by The Prophet, The Mankind Master (pbuh). Then, consider how Allah introduced the good word in front of prayer, the foundation of religion, when he addressed Children of Israel: "speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practise regular charity" [Al-Baqara: The Cow: 83].

Also, you, my brother believer, should know that every word you utter, leaves an effect on the recipient's brain, and this effect does not disappear through time but stays. Therefore, be careful to leave a good effect in the brain and hearts of others, you do not know that one word you utter may be the reason to enter Paradise on the day of meeting with Allah.
