Adding to the first post: The most interesting fact that I came across last semester is that ‘Ossicles’ are the smallest bones in human body. Ossicles are these three tiny bones inside the ear that when you put these 3 bones together on a surface or anywhere, these 3 bones will equal the size of a normal nail. When I held them in my hand in my Bio class, I was like “SubhanAllah, look how Allah makes everything perfect”

Ps - The link below shows their exact size. A MUST SEE.
