"No! If he does not stop, We will take him by the naseyah(front of the head)!" - Qur'an, 96:15-16

If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the cerebrum. What doeas physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Seeley & others,p.211. 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 centre for aggression..."

The Qur'an on the Cerebrum



Allah has said in the Qur'an about one of the evil unbelievers who forbade the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) from praying at the Kaaba:

"No! If he does not stop, We will take him by the naseyah(front of the head)!" - Qur'an, 96:15-16

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?

If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the cerebrum. What doeas physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Seeley & others,p.211. 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 centre for aggression..."

So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and initiating good and sinful behaviour and is responsible for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. Thus, it is proper to descrbie 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)!"

Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years, according to Professor Keith L.Moore.
