THE HANDS HANDLE EVERYTHING SKILLFULLY

Turning the pages of a book, opening a car door, washing one's hands... These are merely a few of the things that we frequently do using our hands, without experiencing any difficulty. We use our hands in performing hundreds of other acts as well. A human hand is so strong that it can exert a pressure of as much as 45 kg (100 pounds) on an object without even clenching the fist. Besides such strength, we can also use our hands in very delicate and fine acts, such as threading a needle, whenever we so wish. While one group of actions requires a great deal of strength, the other requires strict accuracy. We, however, do not even realise how remarkable are the achievements which our hands bring about in reality. We never consciously decide to exercise a force of 500 grams (1.1 pound) in order to pick a piece of paper up from a table or to exercise a force of 5 kilograms (11 pounds) in order to throw a ball. We perform all such things automatically without conscious thought, since Allah created us perfectly. The remarkable competence of our hands is the result of Allah's matchless creation. Did you know that one of the greatest attempts of scientists has been to make an artificial hand similar to a human hand? Robot hands made so far have been equivalent to the human hand in terms of strength, yet have lacked the sense of touch and the capability to perform various tasks at the same time.As a matter of fact, it is the opinion of many scientists that a robot hand possessing all the functions of a human hand cannot be made. Engineer Hans J. Schneebeli, who has designed the robotic hand known as "The Karlsruhe Hand", stated that the more he worked on robotic hands, the more he admired the human hand. He added that they still need a lot of time to be able to tackle even a few of the jobs accomplished by the human hand.Our hands, which cannot even be imitated by today's technology, are designed by Allah. They manifest the perfection in Allah's artistry of creation. There is no other creator besides Allah. In the following verse, Allah informs us that there is no other god besides Him and addresses those who do not see this fact:
Say: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "Allah." Say: "So why have you taken protectors apart from Him who possess no power to help or harm themselves?" Say: "Are the blind and seeing equal? Or are darkness and light the same? Or have they assigned partners to Allah who create as He creates, so that all creating seems the same to them?" Say: "Allah is the Creator of everything. He is the One, the All-Conquering.’ (Surat ar-Ra‘d: 16)
