Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Light The Human Ear: Masterpiece of Engineering The study of the human being has long been a fascinating task for philosophers, physicians and poets. With the recent advances in science and technology our knowledge about ourselves is increasing rapidly. Now to appreciate wonders of the Creator Allah, let us take one example only: the human EAR and see its wonders.

In this article, we will look at the amazing human ears and see how clearly their construction points to a designer. The First Sense: The Hearing The first sense to develop in a developing human embryo is HEARING. The foetus can hear sounds after the 24th week. Subsequently, the sense of SIGHT is developed and by the 28th week, the retina becomes sensitive to light.

Consider the following Qur'anic verses related to the development of the senses in the embryo: "And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing And sight and feeling (and understanding)." (Qur'an 32: 9) "Verily We created man from a drop of mingled sperm; in order to try him: so Contributed by Mehtaab Ismail We gave him (the gifts), of hearing and sight." (Qur'an 76: 2) "It is He who has created for you (the faculties) of hearing, sight, feeling and understanding: little thanks; It is ye give." (Qur'an 23:78) In all these verses, the sense of HEARING is mentioned before that of SIGHT.

Thus 1400 years ago the Glorious Qur'an has alluded to the order of the senses in the developing foetus. First HEARING develops; thereafterSIGHT.Modern embryology has only discovered this fact centuries later. Subhaanallah ! GLORY BE TO THE CREATOR. The Organ Equilibrium Of Balance And Humans are the only creatures that can stand upright naturally and have large complex brains that they can use to synthesize sounds into speech. No other creature has this capability.

The human ear is unique since, besides processing sounds, it is also the organ of balance and equilibrium.Our ability to stand upright and walk on two legs has brought many advantages - specifically the opportunity to develop manual skills such as reading, writing, driving and operating equipment. Without our eyes and ears and the ability to stand up, even the most modern communication systems will not work, since the eyes and ears have to prepare the input and interpret the output.

Why was the human being endowed with these attributes? Since we are the most intelligent species and dominate this earth, it behooves us to reflect on this.
