The quran on cerebrum

THE QURAN ON CEREBRUM

Presented by Sania Nasir

CEREBRUM

• Cerebrum is largest part of brain

• It allows you to think, make decisions, imagine etc

• It contains about 10 million neurons.

The function of the portion of the brain that lies in the front of the human head is to control the

human behavior.”

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)

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.”

the front of the head is responsible for judging and for directing human

behavior.

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?

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….”

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)!”

Verily, in this are clear proofs and signs for people who believe (in the Oneness of

Allâh). (Qur’an 16:79)
