HOW DO WE LIE??"" SCIENTIFIC VIEW AND FROM THE HOLY QURAN TOO""

















""Adiagram of the human brain showing areas"""

Functional regions of the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. The prefrontal area is located at the front of the cerebral cortex. (Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Seeley and others, p. 210.)

"""No! If he does not stop, We will take him by the naseyah (front of the head), a lying, sinful naseyah (front of the head)! """" (Quran, 96:15-16)

سورة العلق
"" (16) كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعاً بِالنَّاصِيَةِ (15) نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
Why did the Quran describe the front of the head as being lying and sinful? Why didn’t the Quran say that the person was lying and sinful? What is the relationship between the front of the head and lying and sinfulness?
If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the cerebrum (see figure 12). What does physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book entitled 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...” [1] Also the book says, “In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression....” [2]
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 Quran has said, “...A lying, sinful naseyah (front of the head)!”
Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years, according to Professor Keith L. Moore. [3]
.now,,,,me,,i used to read this verse since i was achild,,and kept wondering what it means,,and what is this nasyeah,later i knew itis the front of the head,,under which lies the prefrontal lobe of our brain,,i never realized all these things by this age,,and i was glad to know the meaning of the verse,,but it made me more amazed and intersted in the whole topic to know ,,being amedical student,,that this is the area of our brain which controls our behaviour and also gives orders to start actions,i was amazed to read the connection between both what i studied and what i used to read in the quran,,,revising the verses quietly,,i found them both were mentioned in the verses,, whether to keep acting and give orders tot your organ in disobeying ALLAH mentioned in the verse as """No! If he does not stop, "" or telling lies and behaving sinfully mnetioned in the verse as "" a lying, sinful naseyah (front of the head)! ""
