The Brain is the centre which controls, directs and coordinates the
varied activities of all the innumerable organs of the body. It receives
messages from each of the senses, interprets them, sends the proper
replies to the organs concerned so that the body reacts appropriately,
and registers all the information received in the storage memory.
Think of a huge telephone exchange in continual contact with every
man, woman and child on earth, sending and receiving messages to
and from each other one every few seconds and you have a faint idea
of the incredibly complex organization of the brain .....

Obvious conclusion
From the foregoing, we cannot imagine that the brain is just a lump of
matter, accidently placed in our head! On the contrary, it is invested
with profound significance. The scientific fact shows that its existence
and sustainment requires a "Will" or an "Intelligent Being” who is both
its Creator and the Sustainer.
It is impossible for anything so meaningful and complex and yet orderly
in its function to exist 'without the need for Allah, the Absolute One
God, Who is the Creator, Sustainer, Nourisher of the Universe.
