Did you know that 17 muscles in your face contract simultaneously when you smile? If one of these muscles did not contract or malfunctioned, you wouldn't be able to smile. Furthermore, you would have an empty expression on your face. There are 28 muscles controlling your facial expression. With the joint contraction of these muscles, you can assume hundreds of different expressions. You can express anger, bewilderment, happiness and amusement as well as many other emotions thanks to these muscles. Besides the facial muscles, other muscles in your body work in harmony too. In order to take a single step, for example, 54 muscles operate at the same time. Thus we can easily make hundreds of movements, which seem ordinary to us. But having read of all this one should stop and think, because people do not contribute anything at all to the functioning of these muscles. If the muscles did not function properly, it would not be possible to take even a step, let alone run, swim or ride a bicycle. Therefore, we should keep a very important truth in mind: Allah created a perfect system in the human body. This is a gift from our Lord. What we should do in return is to reflect on Allah’s infinite mercy, to remember His greatness and to give thanks to Him.
