Dr. Badrawi writes in Al-Masry Al-Youm: The Man and the City

The more you delve into the knowledge of the human body (its anatomy and physiology), you will find that the greatness of God in His creation is the basis of our life philosophy, which we think of as material in the course of its day, such as movement, eating, drinking, roads, transportation, law, police, army, government and people. We get carried away in disputes here and there around it, and we forget that the creation and composition of the human body is the basis of engineering, dynamics, physics, chemistry and other positive sciences in which humans excel.

Come with me on a journey inside man, and compare him with the city in which we live! Yes, the human body and the city.

Human life is based on his ability to breathe and introduce oxygen through his lungs to every cell in him. A simple fact that the illiterate, the educated, the doctor and the murderer know who, if he wanted to end a person’s life, would suffocate him and prevent him from getting clean air despite his ignorance of physiology. Oxygen reaches every cell, carried in the blood within the small and large blood vessels in an integrated network that reaches the organs and their cells for each of them to do its job.

If one of these blood vessels becomes clogged according to its location, this may lead to the amputation of one of the limbs, but if it becomes blocked in an important organ such as the heart or brain, it may lead to death.

What is the lung of the city? Her lungs are in her gardens and vegetables, gardens that must be commensurate with the number of residents in the neighborhood and the city. If the city’s lungs were not present, it would suffocate as a person would suffocate if his lungs contracted or his body refused to inhale oxygen.

What about the human circulatory system (arteries and veins), which is represented in the engineering of the city, its roads and transportation, which transport food to every place in the body.

As in the human being, the great arteries – represented in the High Ways city – branch out into secondary roads and branches of branches, and so in a construction that has a logic that allows the smooth movement of blood and what it carries without stopping.

If the arteries are clogged, the person will become ill, and he may die. And if the clots and cholesterol on the sides are narrowed, the movement gathers, the smoothness stops, and the body swells.

We in anatomy know exactly where each artery goes, and where it branches, and in modern cities as well. If it does not have a clear road network that allows smooth movement, the city will get sick, and it may even die!

The human body receives food from its digestive system, absorbs from it what it wants, and the excreta comes out of the body with urine, feces and sweat. If she did not have an account, the city fell and fell ill.

And just as the human body excretes its waste regularly, or else it fails and dies, it excretes urine liquid from its urinary system, which if it does not come out of the kidney, stops working, also in the city, it must have a device for delivering water and excreting liquid waste. The sewage system is one of the most important devices for the city to live.

If the human body is attacked by germs or viruses, the damage control system works to reach the place of penetration of the body, such as the immune and control systems, and the temperature rises, because the body is in a battle, ending with victims of white blood cells, other than the ones that were entered to fight the intruders, or to block the place of leakage blood, and the body brings someone to rebuild the part that was damaged, is this not similar to the police and defense agencies in the country?!

The body recognizes and judges the type of damage with sensors that send messages to the nervous system, to move the body’s defenses at the appropriate time, with identification devices that know if it is out of order or not, and judges like the judiciary in the city on the cause of damage.

The mind, the sensors, the means of immunity, and the building are the city government, its spirit and soul, inspiring and strengthening it to remain coherent and true, to begin its cells, transcend its individuals and be happy with its existence.

Sometimes a person does not get sick from outside, but the cells start to go crazy and eat around them, and the organs become dysfunctional like cancer. Feed it and only returned again and finished the rest of the body and finished.

What that reminds you of back home, I leave it to your imagination, because we live it somehow now.

The human body is God’s creation, and if a society wants to live in a village, city, or homeland, it must know its anatomy and physiology, and know that the greatest harm may come from the least evil.

How many times have we seen a person lose life due to a stroke in his brain, bleeding or an explosion in an artery! And how much the quality of life has been eroded by stopping the work of the kidney or liver!

How a body collapsed, and suffocated because of the lack of oxygen from its lungs to reach every cell in it, or even just because of its inability to get rid of its waste and its outputs.

Let’s look at the human body and our lives and take a lesson. The homeland must have a maestro who knows what is going on, coordinates, and harmonizes with the vocabulary of its needs, and protects its cells from destruction, whether internal or external, with the continuation of construction and renewal.

The nation’s mind and nervous system are its government, which must be carefully chosen and its efficiency always judged.

We as individuals represent the cells of the body, and our health comes from the health of the whole body, and our country is our body, and we are its cells. For the body to be healthy, we must be healthy, and in order to live, grow and multiply, the homeland must be healthy and full of descriptions. And not to underestimate any function of the body of the nation, no matter how trivial or small.
