The concept of the greatness of Allah within a human body is often expressed in Islamic theology. In Islam, the belief in the oneness of Allah is central, and it is understood that Allah’s greatness transcends human comprehension. Allah has perfected every single creation of his however as for a Humans body.

Allah Says in the Quran
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَرَارًۭا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءًۭ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
It is Allah Who made the earth a place of settlement for you and the sky a canopy. He shaped you ˹in the womb˺, perfecting your form. And He has provided you with what is good and lawful. That is Allah—your Lord. So Blessed is Allah, Lord of all worlds. (Surah Ghafir 40:64)

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ
He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. He shaped you ˹in the womb˺, perfecting your form. And to Him is the final return. (Surah A-Tagabun 64.3)

Human face
The human face is the most anterior portion of the human head. It refers to the area that extends from the superior margin of the forehead to the chin, and from one ear to another.

The face plays an important role in communication and the expression of emotions and mood. In addition, the basic shape and other features of the face provide our external identity.

The basic shape of the human face is determined by the underlying facial skeleton (i.e. viscerocranium), the facial muscles and the amount of subcutaneous tissue present.

Key facts about the human face

Bones of the face

The facial skeleton is also known as the viscerocranium. It is composed of fourteen bones, six paired and two unpaired bones.

The bones of the viscerocranium include:

• Two nasal bones
• Two maxillae
• Two inferior nasal conchae
• Two palatine bones
• Two zygomatic bones
• Two lacrimal bones
• Mandible
• Vomer

Today we will dicscuss the two Nasal Bones & Two maxillae Bones Inshallah

Two nasal bones 

The nasal bone is a small, flat bone of the skull. It makes up the facial skeleton (viscerocranium) along with the zygomatic bone, maxillae, palatine bones, lacrimal bones, inferior nasal conchae, vomer and mandible.

The nasal bone is located medial to the frontal processes of the maxillae. It is rectangle-shaped and thus has two surfaces and four borders. Its superior borders and main bodies form the bridge of the nose while the inferior borders connect with the nasal cartilage to form the superior margin of the nasal cavity.

The nasal bone is a paired bone, located left and right to the midline, interposed between the frontal processes of the maxillae. The two nasal bones are connected medially via the internasal suture. It has two surfaces (external and internal) and four borders. The external surface is transversely convex and covered by the procerus and nasalis muscles. In contrast, the internal surface is transversely concave and hosts a longitudinal groove for the anterior ethmoidal nerve.

The nasal bone forms a number of connections with the surrounding bones of the skull. The superior border of the nasal bone connects with the nasal part of the frontal bone forming the frontonasal suture. Laterally, the nasal bone is connected to the frontal process of the maxilla via the nasomaxillary suture. Its inferior border is attached to the lateral cartilage of the nose. Via the medial border, the nasal bone articulates with its contralateral counterpart. In addition, the medial border projects behind as a vertical crest, contributing to a small part of the nasal septum. The medial border connects with the following structures (superior to inferior): the nasal spine of the frontal bone, the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, and the nasal septal cartilage.

The main function of the nasal bone is to form the external surface of the nose, nasal aperture, and to protect the nasal cavity from external factors.

The two nasal bones, located in the upper middle part of the face, have several important functions:

1. Structural Support: The nasal bones contribute to the structural integrity of the face by providing support to the bridge of the nose. They help maintain the shape and form of the nose, which is essential for facial aesthetics and overall facial balance.
2. Protection: The nasal bones help protect the delicate structures within the nasal cavity, such as the nasal septum, nasal mucosa, and nasal passages. They serve as a barrier against external trauma, helping to prevent injuries to the nasal region.
3. Respiratory Function: The nasal bones play a role in nasal airflow and respiration. They help maintain the patency of the nasal airway, which is important for efficient breathing. The shape and positioning of the nasal bones influence airflow dynamics, facilitating the inhalation of air through the nose.
4. 4. Sense of Smell: The nasal bones indirectly contribute to the sense of smell by housing the olfactory epithelium, which contains the olfactory receptors responsible for detecting odors. These receptors are located within the nasal cavity, and the nasal bones provide structural support for the nasal passages where odor molecules are detected.
5. Facial Symmetry: The symmetry of the nasal bones is an important component of overall facial symmetry. Balanced nasal bone structure contributes to facial aesthetics and harmony, which are key factors in facial attractiveness and perception.

In summary, the two nasal bones serve important functions in providing structural support, protection, respiratory function, and contributing to facial aesthetics and symmetry. Their role is integral to the overall form and function of the nose and the face as a whole.

Two maxillae

The term “maxilla” refers to the upper jawbone in vertebrates, including humans. Each person has two maxillae, one on the left side of the face and one on the right side. These bones are fused in the midline at the upper part of the mouth, forming the upper jaw and part of the nasal cavity. They play a crucial role in supporting the teeth and forming the structure of the face. Additionally, the maxillae contribute to the formation of the orbit (eye socket), the floor of the nasal cavity, and the palate (roof of the mouth).

The maxilla, also known as the upper jaw, is a vital viscerocranium structure of the skull. It is involved in the formation of the orbit, nose and palate, holds the upper teeth and plays an important role for mastication and communication.

The maxilla is a vital bone in the human skull, and having two of them (one on each side of the face) provides several important benefits:

1. Structural Support: The maxillae form the upper jawbone, providing crucial structural support for the teeth and the lower part of the face. They play a central role in maintaining the shape and integrity of the facial structure.
2. 2. Facial Symmetry: Having two maxillae helps maintain facial symmetry. Symmetry is an essential aspect of facial aesthetics and is associated with attractiveness and perceived health.
3. Teeth Anchorage: The maxillae serve as anchor points for the teeth of the upper dental arch. They provide a stable foundation for the teeth, allowing for proper biting, chewing, and speech functions.
4. 4. Respiration and Olfaction: The maxillae house the maxillary sinuses, which are air-filled cavities that help regulate air temperature and humidity during respiration. Additionally, the maxillae contain the openings for the nasal cavities, which are essential for olfaction (sense of smell).
5. Protection of Vital Structures: The maxillae protect vital structures in the head and neck region, such as the nasal passages, sinuses, and delicate sensory organs responsible for olfaction and taste perception.
6. Facilitation of Facial Expressions: The maxillae contribute to the mobility and flexibility of the facial muscles, allowing for a wide range of facial expressions, including smiling, frowning, and other non-verbal communication cues.

Overall, the presence of two maxillae is essential for proper facial function, aesthetics, and overall health. They provide structural support, facilitate dental function, protect vital structures, and contribute to facial symmetry and expressiveness.

The maxilla consists of the body and its four projections:

• frontal process
• zygomatic process
• palatine process
• alveolar process

The main function of these bones is to give shape to the human face and to protect the internal structures. In addition, these bones provide openings for the passage of neurovascular structures and bony features for the attachment of facial muscles.

The alveolar process is an inferior extension of the maxilla with a rather porous structure. It forms the maxillary dental arch containing eight cavities where the upper teeth are held.

The frontal process has a vertical ridge which constitutes the medial border of the orbit (anterior lacrimal crest). Posteriorly it forms the lacrimal groove together with the lacrimal bone. Superomedially it is in close contact with the anterior ethmoidal sinuses.

The zygomatic process of the maxilla grows laterally and meets the zygomatic bone.

Lastly, the palatine process is a horizontal extension on the medial side of the bone constituting the roof of the mouth and the floor of the nasal cavity. Together with the palatine bone it forms the hard palate. Anteriorly it features a small process, the anterior nasal spine. The incisive foramen can be found on the median line just posteriorly to the incisor teeth where the nasopalatine nerve and greater palatine vessels pass through.
