The document discusses scientific miracles found in the Quran related to medicine and the human body. It provides examples of scientific knowledge mentioned in the Quran such as the functions of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid. The author analyzes verses from the Quran and their correlation to modern scientific findings. Over 1200 verses in the Quran are estimated to reference different sciences. The recurrence of these scientific verses is believed to support faith, stimulate research, and demonstrate God's power and favors to mankind.

4. The Scientific Miracles in
The Holy Quran (Examples)
• Al-Nasiyah (front of the head and the brain) in The Holy
Quran and medicine (Prefrontal lobe).
• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) functions and ablution (Wudu).
• Breast feeding in The Holy Quran.
• Embryology in The Holy Quran.
• Iron (Fe) in The Holy Quran and medicine.
• Water (H2O) in The Holy Quran, science and medicine.
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) e.g. AIDS in Islamic
teaching and medicine.

5. INTRODUCTION
• Message of Holy Quran.
• Number of medical and cosmic verses (ayaat) in the
Holy Quran (ayaat with scientific reference).
• The Holy Quran and science.
• The Quranic system in the mankind and universe.
• Two books (The Holy Quran and the universe).
• The rationale for recurrence of ayaat of scientific
reference in The Holy Quran.

6. • The Qura’n is a bookof faith (Iman) and
guidance (Hidaayah). It also includes educational
dimensions forthe establishment of a virtuous
society. Allah (SWT) says:
"‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬‫ء‬

7. • There are many verses (ayaat) in Al Qur’an al
Kareemwhich deal with different branches of
science ( medical and cosmic).
• We have reviewed and classified these verses
according to theirscientific topics and also
studied the rationale behind theirrecurrence in
the Qur’an.

8. • The results were as follows:
First: There are approximately 1200 ayaat which
referto the different sciences, which
constitutes nearly 20% of the total number
of ayaat (6236) in Al Qur’an al Kareem.

9. Second: There are approximately 70 ayaat praising
Science and Scientists, encouraging themto be
involved in discovering the universe forthe good
of humanity. As a matterof fact the first five
ayaat revealed to the Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) ordered himto read and learn.

• 2nd

(The universe – created by Allah -SWT)!

16. Recurrence of the following
words in Holy Quran
• Day : 365 times .
• Month : 12 times .
• Moon : 27 times .
• Sun : 33 times .
• Sun and Moon in same Ayaah : 19 times.

17. Al-Nasiyah
(front of the head & the
brain)

18. • The holy Qur’an describes the front of
the head in the disbelievers being lying
and sinful !!
Allah (SWT) says: (a lying sinful
nasiyah (front of the head).
(96: 16)
‫ةةةةة‬ ‫)ةةةةة‬
(‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬:‫ةةةةة‬ ‫)ةةةة‬16(

19. • Since the front of the head does not
speak, how can it be described as
being lying? It does not commit sins.
How is it then said to be sinful?

20. • The linguistic meaning of the Ayah
Allah (SWT) says: (Let him beware! If he
does not stop, We will take him by the
nasiyah, a lying, sinful nasiyah!) (96:15-16)
Al-Nasiyah: the front of the head.
(‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬.‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬‫ة‬)
:‫ةةةةة‬
15-16

21. • Most commentators have interpreted this
Verse metaphorically, saying that describing
the nasiyah being lying and sinful is not to be
taken literally; the description is attributed
to the owner of the nasiyah and not to the
nasiyah itself.

22. • Other commentators did not comment on the
Verse sparing themselves the involvement in
something beyond their knowledge and the
knowledge of their age.

23. • The function of this part of the brain that lies
in the font of the human head (the prefrontal
cortex ) is to control the human behavior.
Functions of prefrontal
area in the brain:

24. • The prefrontal cortex constitutes the bulk of
the frontal lobe of the brain, and its function
is involved in the making of one’s
personality. It is also considered as a
superior center among the centers of
concentration, thinking and memory. It plays
a significant role in the person’s emotion
and it is somehow concerned with initiative
and discrimination.

25. • Prof. Dr. Keith Moore, who stated that the
front of the head is responsible for judging
and for directing human behavior. The
working organs of the body (e.g. the limbs or
tongue) are but tools to carry out the
decision made in the front of the head

26. • He, confirming what he had said, added:
“When a person intends to tell a lie, the
decision is made in the frontal lobe of the
brain, which is the front of the head. If he
wants to commit a sin, the decision is made
there, too”

27. Functional MRI of the brain

29. Functional MRI of the brain
showing the area of lying in
the prefrontal cortex

31. • Prof. Keith Moore, illustrating this Scientific Miracle,
says: “The information we now know about the function
of the brain, was not mentioned throughout history, nor
do we find anything about it in the medical books.
Should we survey all the medical literature during the
time of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and several
centuries thereafter, we would find no mention of the
function of the frontal lobe (nasiyah), or an explanation
of it or a statement about it except in this Book (the
Holy Qur’an), which indicates that such information is
of the Knowledge of Allah, the Almighty, Who knows
everything, and that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger”

42. We have deduced fromourstudy and Allah
knows best, that the rationale forthe
recurrence of those ayaat are to achieve the
following aims:

43. A- To support the six principles of Faith
(Iman), especially the Iman in Allah
Almighty and in the hereafter, for
example Surah An-Nisa’ ayat no. 136. It
was found that there is a strong
correlation (about 92%) between such
ayaat and these principles of Iman as
follows:
