:salam2: about the above, did you know that:
wa 'alaykum salam warahamtu-llahi w abarakatuhu
as salam 'alaykum warahamatu-llah
respected sister, JazakAllah khair for sharing this.
I'm doing my masters in Biomedical Engineering, and my Minor is Biomaterials, which widely deals with Tissue Engineering.
the reports you've attached, I know them more or less.
however, in Tissue Engg, there is one term, Omnipotent (the things you stated there, like totipotent or pluripotent).
although i never found that Tissue Engg is concerned about God or neither they are interested, they are more or less, don't want to get into these issues.
Omnipotent: The term omnipotence is not used for stem cells, but is used in religions as one of God ’s characteristics.
there are other quotes from scientists of different times in the same book I studied:
“ Recapitulation of inductive processes used in organogenesis by the embryo is a prerequisite for successful tissue
engineering. ”
Marcel Karperien May 2006
“ How superior to our mind is Nature ’ s own experiment. ”
Leo Vroman 1992
“ Nothing is lost, nothing is created, all is transformed”
Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (1743–1794)
in a very planned way, bit by bit they are giving the concept of creationism.
however, their thoughts are so shallow that they don't want to think beyond what they see or they get.
they want to limit God into a special cell, although they don't care.
they can do tissue engineering, with what they have, not form what is not there.
like if we want to create something like a pottery, we need water, earth, then make clay and to give a shape we need some apparatus, but what about earth and water?
Once I read a news in Yahoo/MSN: Stephan Hawkins changes his statement about God.
Actually He stated: something can be created from nothing.
and which is the ability of Allah alone.
whenever Allah say, Be and it is there.
so I don't know about Stephan Hawkins, actually he made it clear that something can be created from nothing. Allah doesn't need any help or something of some raw materials .
yes He has created us from clay, but earth and water was there.
what point is:
it is not said by Allah that we can not be able to do these things, but there are some hudood, limits or boundaries. today or tomorrow they gonna face the problems or consequences.
okay let say the so called science is the ultimate, so what?
at what peak human wants to go, I don't know.
just because they have produced some microchips or implantable devices, they think that they have crossed God's creation, astaghfirAllah. and they want to prove there is no God.
what Allah says in Quran, it is clear, nothing juggling around the point or something to be confused:
Suratul Waqiah, Chapter 56, verse 57-87
57.
We created you, then why do you believe not?
58.
Then tell Me (about) the human semen that you emit.
59.
Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or are We the Creator?
60.We have decreed death to you all, and We are not unable,
61.To transfigure you and create you in (forms) that you know not.
62.
And indeed, you have already known the first form of creation (i.e. the creation of Adam), why then do you not remember or take heed?
63.
Tell Me! The seed that you sow in the ground.
64.Is it you that make it grow, or are We the Grower?
65.Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry pieces, and you would be regretful (or left in wonderment).
66.(Saying): "We are indeed Mughramun (i.e. ruined or lost the money without any profit, or punished by the loss of all that we spend for cultivation, etc.)! [See Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 17, Page 219]
67."Nay, but we are deprived!"
68.
Tell Me! The water that you drink.
69.Is it you who cause it from the rainclouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come down?
70.If We willed, We verily could make it salt (and undrinkable), why then do you not give thanks (to Allah)?
71.Tell Me! The fire which you kindle,
72.Is it you who made the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower?
73.We have made it a Reminder (for the Hell-fire, in the Hereafter); and an article of use for the travellers (and all the others, in this world).
74.Then glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
75.So I swear by Mawaqi (setting or the mansions, etc.) of the stars (they traverse)
76.And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.
77.That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Quran).
78.In a Book well-guarded (with Allah in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz).
79.Which (that Book with Allah) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels).
80.A Revelation (this Quran) from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
81.Is it such a talk (this Quran) that you (disbelievers) deny?
82.And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, on the contrary, you deny Him (by disbelief)!
83.Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat?
84.And you at the moment are looking on,
85.But We (i.e. Our angels who take the soul) are nearer to him than you, but you see not, [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol.27, Page 209]
86.Then why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment, etc.)
87.Bring back the soul (to its body), if you are truthful?
death is the most certain thing in our life, the moment we are born, the most certain thing in the world is: we are going to die, no other thing is so definite as death, like a child can even don't cry at the birth time but he/she can die.
Ibn Taymiyyah rahmatu-llahi alayhi said:
''Death is the most certain thing in our life, yet we behave such that it is the most uncertain thing in our life''
subhan Allah.
why should as human our thoughts be shallow, why we can not think of further, we are not compelling them to our way of life, so why they compel us to their way, their shallow and stupid way or thinking.
it is their problem, that they can not think beyond that, why should we have to follow you, oh the atheists, believers in creationism or darwinism.
you put the human in the place of God, like darwin or stephan hawkins, disable individual. shame on your disability, as you have taken a disable person as your god or one to follow, that's why you are disable too, because you can not think the further. useless individuals.
that was nothing just, thought about the atheists, that's it!!
i just couldn't help, it was not directed to anyone.
I hope what I wrote is in clear words and everyone can understand
have nice moments
may Allah azza wa jal help us to attain good understanding of His religion.
may Allah azza wa jal make steadfast in faith and a'mal.
JazakAllah Khair
wassamaun 'alaika
