Praise be to Allah, the Lord of Creations, and Peace and
blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad, the faithful and the
honest.
Oh, Allah, we know nothing but what You teach us. You are
the All- Knower, the Wise. Oh Allah, teach us what is good for us,
and benefit us from what You taught us, and increase our knowledge.
Show us the righteous things as righteous and help us to do them,
and show us the bad things as bad and help us to keep away from
them.
O Allah our Lord, lead us out from the depths of darkness
and illusion, unto the lights of erudition and knowledge, and from the
muddy shallows of lusts unto the heavens of Your Vicinity.
What is the spleen? It is a wonderful organ,
in the abdomen, that causes changes in the blood. It is indeed a very
important organ of the human body. Deficiency or hyperactivity of this
vital organ makes life unbearable if not impossible.
In fact, this wonderful part of the body,
the spleen, which is a kind of apparatus, organ, gland, or whatever, is
not more than 200 g’s in weight. It is a dark red body that receives
blood through a lot of big blood vessels, an artery and a vein. From
inside, it has barriers, and it is divided into compartments. It is
surrounded with special muscles, which contract in order to empty it
from the extra blood.
This organ produces a great deal of white
corpuscles, which constitute the army that defends the human body. By
the way, the AIDS, which has caused a lot of worry to the whole world,
comes as a result of the destruction of this army, which weakens
immunity of the body and allows the weakest germs to overcome it.
In addition to the liver, the spleen is the
organ that produces the white corpuscles in the embryonic phase; and in
a word, the white corpuscles are a real army that defends the human
body!
The spleen is also like a graveyard for the
dead red corpuscles. As soon as the dead red corpuscles reach the
spleen, it produces a substance that breaks down these corpuscles into
their original components: iron is released and taken to factories of
blood corpuscles in the marrow of the bones; and hemoglobin is also
released and taken to the liver to produce bile. In short, the spleen is
a graveyard in which the dead red corpuscles are broken down into their
basic components in order to be remanufactured. It is the organ in
which iron is remanufactured into new corpuscles and in which hemoglobin
is turned into bile (which takes part in food digestion).
Is this not an economic planning?! Is this not Divine Guidance to teach us that wastefulness clashes with human perfection?!
Another thing: The spleen is a factory for
manufacturing red corpuscles, but it is an auxiliary factory. In other
words, if the factories in the marrow of bones fail to work, this
factory begins to make red corpuscles in order to support human life.
A fourth thing: The spleen is also an auxiliary store of red corpuscles, which it sends to the body when necessary.
Yes, indeed! This wonderful organ, the
spleen, is a store of red corpuscles, an auxiliary factory for making
red corpuscles, a factory for making white corpuscles, and a graveyard
for dead red corpuscles!
If the spleen becomes hyperactive, it
destroys the red corpuscles and causes death or a special kind of
anemia. If there it becomes under-active, the person’s system of
immunity weakens; and this causes a lot of diseases and illnesses from
which the human race are suffering nowadays.
In brief, this magnificent organ, the
spleen, which you sometimes buy at the butcher’s or eat as a sandwich in
a snack, is a whole unique world in every sense of the word. In this
context, Allah’s Messenger, (PBUH), says,
“Two dead things and two bloods have been made
permissible for you (to eat). The two dead things are fishes and
locusts, and the two bloods are the liver and the spleen.”
