Miracle of Our Heart

Machinery needs routine maintenance. It may be necessary to maintain some machine parts or to replace
those that are worn out. Machines need to be treated with oil after a certain period of operation, so as to
lessen wearing down by friction. Like machinery, the heart, which keeps operating all the time, requires maintenance too. However, the heart carries out its maintenance itself; it lubricates itself. How do you think a heart lubricates itself? The answer to this question is hidden in the creation of the heart. The outer surface of heart is covered by a sac consisting of two membranes. Between these membranes is a greasy fluid. This fluid acts like motor oil and facilitates easy operation of the heart. This self-protective structure in the heart reveals once again how perfect and complete is Allah's artistry in creation.


The heart, which is a muscular organ of about the size of one's fist, consists of two halves. There are two pumps in these sections. The left pump, which is stronger, drives oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body. The right pump is weaker than the former and pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. This transport from the heart to the lungs is over a short distance and is, therefore, called the "small circulation". The former is called the "large circulation". Each of these halves of the heart is divided into two further sections. Blood between them passes to the other section through heart valves. These pumps operate unceasingly with a great amount of energy, thanks to which blood circulates through our bodies 1,000 times a day.Blood circulates through the entire body, from the brain to the lungs, thanks to the heart.


The most perfectly structured pump in the world is now beating on the left side of your chest. With its marvellous design and unceasing contractions, your heart makes the entire blood in your body complete 1,000 full cycles in a day. The heart is a pump made of flesh,which is approximately as big as one's fist. Nevertheless, it is clearly the strongest, the most durable and the most efficient engine in the world with respect to its capacity. We have many reasons to express the strength of the heart in this way. Most important, the heart uses a great deal of energy when it beats. With the energy used by the heart, blood can be raised up to 3 metres high. It may be helpful to give an example in order to make it easier to comprehend
the heart's capacity. In an hour the heart can produce an amount of energy that is enough to lift an average car
approximately one metre above the ground.


Allah S.W.T said in Surah Al-Mulk verse 3 and 4 which means:-
He created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the All- Merciful. Look again . do you see any gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted!
