Scientists of Quran Formulate Concept of "naseyat" "Lying Sinful Forelock" Brain Discoveries & More
Sheikh Abdul Majid Al Zindani says, "As I was reading the verse in Quran, "Let him beware! If he desist not, we will Drag him by the forelock, A lying, sinful forelock” [96-15] ( its Arabic transliteration is “Naseyaton Kazibaton Khateaa”)
I was thinking - "the forelock (naseyat) is the forehead". Sheikh Al Zindani supplicated and asked Allah to reveal the meaning of - “A lying, sinful forelock” He meditated about this verse for then years but remained perplexed. He then referred to interpretation books (tafsir of Quran).
An interpretor says by the term " lying forelock" it is metaphorically used to point at the lying person himself as he is the source of lying.
However, a research prepared by a famous Canadian scientist dealt with the forehead. The scientist was a specialist in the science of brain, desiccation and embryology. He introduced his research in a medical conference held in Cairo.
A doctor and his wife were attending that conference.
When the wife heard “A lying, sinful forelock” - she had a question... The interpretors say, “Naseyato Kazibin Khatein then she inquired about the last “h” and asked why it is missing.
I said to myself it is missing “h” which has perplexed me for ten years. When we come back to the research we find that the Canadian scientist stated that it was only since five years that the part of the brain which is directly under the forehead responsible for fabricating lies and mistakes.
It also helps the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
It is also the center which takes decisions: If this part of the brain is cut, then the person will lose his independent will and become incapable of taking decisions. He will also loose control over himself.
The Canadian scientist said that it was only since fifty years that we have come to know that it is the part of the brain which is behind the forehead which helps man to take decisions.
Then, who is the real power behind taking decisions?
We know that it is the human soul which takes decisions. It is the souls which sees but the eye is the seeing sense. It is the soul which hears but the ear is the hearing sense.
The part of the brain at the forehead takes the decision and it is the quality of out decision which we have taken that affect our intentions and deeds. Therefore addressing and threatening wrong doers the Quran says, “We will drag him by the forelock, A lying, sinful part.
Today science advanced and discovered that the “part’ of the brain which is located at the forelock in human being is smaller and weaker in Animals. In animals also this part controls the animals. It is the center that helps the animal.
Therefore, in another Quranic Aaya Allah says, “There is not a moving creature, but He hath Grasp of its forelock” [11:56]. Scientist found this fact after a careful analysis and studies of the brain. But Quran and before fourteen centuries explained this fact in Quran. The saying of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) also confirmed this.
He says, “O Allah, I am your servant and the son of your servant, my forelock is under your control” the forelock is the center of control and guidance. Therefore, this center of control and guidance must abide by religion and the reaching of Quran. It has to obey Allah.
Therefore, to make it obedient Allah ordered Man to pray a bow down the forelock in every prayer. To make sujood as a sign of obedience to Allah. There may be also a close relation between this bowing down of the forelock while we pray has a positive impact on our behavior. It may be behind helping us to adopt a straightforward behavior.
Quran says, “And establish regular prayer: for prayer restraints from shameful and unjust deeds” [29:45]
