Without electricity, what would your life be like? You would have to find a way of ascending 15 floors with no elevator and preventing food in your refrigerator from spoiling. You could not watch television, warm your dinner up in the microwave, listen to your favorite music on the stereo, quickly dry your hair, cool down your bedroom by means of air conditioning, brighten that room with the touch of a switch or operate essential machines like your dishwasher, washing machine and clothes drier. On a larger scale, traffic, communications, transport, security systems, workplaces, water distribution, energy production, publishing and the press, all depend on electricity as well.
Few who make use of electricity reflect on the fact that, just like the appliances they depend on, their bodies could not function without electricity either. However the human body has been equipped with a flawless electricity network, along with the presence of intelligent systems that contain the most complex information and know-how to benefit from electrical energy.
Indeed, scientists employ terms commonly used in electronics to describe the body’s nervous system: “generate,” “circuit,” “current,” “resistance,” “voltage,” “insulation,” “charge,” and so forth. It is next to impossible to describe the system without using these terms. The fact that principles necessary for the functioning of technology, discovered in only the last two centuries, have existed in the human body ever since it was first created, is a clear indication of the superior knowledge of Allah. The details set out in this book constitute just a few examples of His infinite knowledge that we have grown able to comprehend.
