Al-Musawwir
He who depicts, he who gives shape and form to all things.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
He is Allah the creator, the maker, the giver of form.
To him belong the most beautiful names.
Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies him.
He is the almighty, the all-wise.
There are more than 100,000 different living species on earth.
These all possess immaculate attributes and are of totally different appearance to one another.
There is a flawless symmetry in butterfly wings.
The top of every wing is adorned with all kinds of shapes and striking colors.
No matter how complex these shapes and colors may be,
the match of symmetry in the wings is never impaired.
All butterflies have a beauty that directly addresses the eye,
just as if it had come from an artist's brush.
Even the simplest drawing has an artist behind it,
and no picture can ever appear spontaneously.
In the same way, such a flawlessly made living thing,
as beautiful as any work of art, also has a creator.
That creator is almighty Allah, lord of the entire universe.
The human body also exhibits the sublime creation and glory of Allah.
For example, the skeleton that represents the framework of the human body is a marvel of engineering.
In its own right, it is the body's structural support system.
It protects such vital organs as the brain, heart, and lungs, and supports the internal organs.
The skeleton bestows an excellent power of movement.
This property cannot be replicated by any artificial machine.
Furthermore, contrary to what most people imagine, bone is not inanimate.
It stores minerals such as calcium and phosphate,
or else distributes previously stored minerals to the body, depending on its needs.
The bones also manufacture red blood cells.
This multifunctional skeletal system is just one of the perfect systems in the human body.
Allah, who created all these with a matchless design,
and who continues to create them, constantly manifests His might before us.
In one verse from the Quran, Allah reveals,
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
He said,
Our Lord is He who gives each thing its created form and then guides it.
