Religion gives a purpose in life.

As we know that a large number of scientists do not believe in God and consider man an accidental product of nature. Eventually for them, man has no purpose in life except what he sets for himself. But their assumption goes totally against their own findings.

Let us see how these so-called learned people contradict themselves.The medical scientists have studied each and every part of the human body. They now know the whole organization of the body, from its smallest parts to the largest ones. On the basis of these studies they say that the human body is made up of trillions of cells. These cells are of many kinds such as blood cells, muscle cells, and nerve cells. Each kind of cell has special features and some particular job. Then there are special highly sophisticated organs such as heart, kidney, lungs, liver etc. All these organs have special functions and well defined purpose of their being. A question should be asked to these medical researchers who themselves have disclosed these facts.

That if every cell and every organ in the human body has special work to do, then what is the special work of the whole human body. Is it wise to assume that, all cells of the body and the organs, have a purpose and a job, but the human beings who are made up of these cells and organs have no well defined purpose. Thus, a man of average intelligence will agree that when every organ of the body has been given a special assignment, then humans must also have a special purpose of life.

The Holy Quran educates us precisely the Divine purpose of creation and aims and objectives of every human being. Those who serve the purpose and do their duties are said to have a meaningful life.

I have only created Jinns and Men that they should worship Me. I demand no sustenance from them, nor I ask that they should feed Me. (51:56)

Thus, Allah Subhanahu taala has given us a perfect body in which each and every cell and organ tirelessly serves us. In our body, millions of sophisticated machines are working for us to fulfill our demands and keep us active and alive. Millions of pages will be required to describe the functions and activities of these machines that serve us round the clock. A student of medicine spends five to seven years just to acquire knowledge of the functions of these organs. Briefly, we describe here the functions of just some of the vital organs.

• The lungs provides the body with oxygen and simultaneously rids the body of carbondioxide.

• The heart which is a powerful pump, beats 100,000 times each day as it pump 4.5 litres blood per minute throughout the body.

• The digestive system breaks down the food we eat into simple substances that the cells can use.

• The urinary system removes unwanted things from the blood and flushes them from the body.

• The nervous system regulates and coordinates the activities of all the system of the body and enables the body to adjust to changes that occur within itself and in surroundings.

• The endocrine system controls body functions by producing hormones which work as chemical messengers.

• The lymphatic system consists of a network of tubes carrying a clear, watery fluid called lymph. It baths and nourishes the cells of the body tissues.

• The immune system protects the body at all times from the disease- producing bacteria, viruses and other kinds of harmful substances. The specialized cells resist and destroy all kinds of invaders that can become a threat to our health.
