THE SKIN retains body heat in cold weathers: In cold weathers, the activity of sweat glands slows and the veins narrow. This decreases the blood circulation under the skin therefore preventing body heat from escaping. What all of this show is that human skin is a perfect organ specially designed to facilitate our lives. Skin protects us, functions as an “air-conditioner”, and facilitates easy locomotion thanks to its flexibility. Moreover, it is aesthetic.
Instead of this type of skin, we could well have a thick and coarse skin. We could have an inflexible skin that would crack and split in the event we put on even a few kilograms. We could have skin that would cause us to faint from heat in summer and freeze in winter. However, Allah, Who created us, has covered our body in the most comfortable, serviceable and aesthetic way. For He is “the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form.” Surat al-Hashr: 24).
