The document discusses how the Quran refers to the front of the head as "lying and sinful". It explains that modern science has discovered that the frontal lobe of the brain, located at the front of the head, is responsible for decision making, motivation, and initiating behavior. When a person intends to lie or commit a sin, the decision is made in the frontal lobe. The Quran described the front of the head in this way because this area is responsible for both good and sinful planning and behavior.

1. THE QURAN ON CEREBRUM
Presented by Sania Nasir

2. CEREBRUM
• Cerebrum is largest part of brain
• It allows you to think, make decisions,
imagine etc
• It contains about 10 million neurons.

3. The function of the portion
of the brain that lies in
the front of the human
head is to control the
human behavior.”

4. Al-Nasiyah (front of the head)
The holy Qur’an describes the front of the
head being lying and sinful. Allah (SWT)
says: (a lying sinful nasiyah (front of the
head).) (96: 16)

5. 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.”

6. the front of the
head is responsible
for judging and for
directing human
behavior.

7. Why did the Qur’an describe the front of the
head as being lying and sinful? Why didn’t
the Qur’an say that the person was lying
and sinful? What is the relationship
between the front of the head and lying
and sinfulness?

8. Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology says about
this area:
“The motivation and the foresight to plan and
initiate movements occur in the anterior portion
of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a
region of association cortex…” Also the book
says: “In relation to its involvement in
motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to
be the functional center for aggression….”

9. So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for
planning, motivating, and initiating good and
sinful behavior and is responsible for the telling
of lies and the speaking of truth. Thus, it is
proper to describe the front of the head as lying
and sinful when
someone lies or commits a sin, as the Qur’an has
said: “…A lying,
sinful naseyah (front of the head)!”

10. Verily, in this are clear proofs and signs for
people who believe (in the Oneness of
Allâh). (Qur’an 16:79)
