指纹
Fingerprints
“难道人以为我不能把他的骨头聚集起来吗?”
“Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
“不然,我能够把他的指头尖端也完好无缺地复原。”[《古兰经》75:3-4]不信道者争辩说:人死后骨头已在土中腐朽,复活如何可能,审判日又如何辨认每一个人?至高无上的真主回答说:祂不仅能聚合我们的骨骼,还能将我们的指尖完美无缺地复原。
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.” [Al-Qur’an 75:3-4] Unbelievers argue regarding resurrection taking place after bones of dead people have disintegrated in the earth and how each individual would be identified on the Day of Judgement. Almighty Allah answers that He can not only assemble our bones but can also reconstruct perfectly our very fingertips.
为什么《古兰经》在谈到确定个人身份时,特别提到指尖?1880年,经过弗朗西斯·高尔顿爵士(Sir Francis Golt)的研究,指纹成为科学的身份识别方法。世界上没有两个人的指纹图案完全相同,即使是同卵双胞胎也不例外。这就是为什么世界各地的警察机构都用指纹来识别罪犯。
Why does the Qur’an, while speaking about determination of the identity of the individual, speak specifically about fingertips? In 1880, fingerprinting became the scientific method of identification, after research done by Sir Francis Golt. No two persons in the world can ever have exactly the same fingerprint pattern, not even identical twins. That is the reason why police forces worldwide use fingerprints to identify criminals.
一千四百年前,谁能知道每个人指纹的独特性呢?这无疑只能是造物主自己!
Fourteen hundred years ago, who could have known the uniqueness of each human’s fingerprint? Surely it could have been none other than the Creator Himself!
皮肤中的痛觉感受器
Pain Receptors In The Skin
人们曾经认为,感觉和疼痛的感知仅依赖于大脑。然而,近期的发现证明,皮肤中存在痛觉感受器,若没有它们,人将无法感受到疼痛。
It was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was dependent only on the brain. Recent discoveries however prove that there are pain receptors present in the skin, without which a person would not be able to feel pain.
当医生检查烧伤患者时,会用针刺来判断烧伤的程度。如果患者感到疼痛,医生会感到欣慰,因为这表明烧伤较为表浅,痛觉感受器仍然完好。反之,如果患者感觉不到任何疼痛,则表明这是深度烧伤,痛觉感受器已经被破坏。
When a doctor examines a patient suffering from burn injuries, he verifies the degree of burns by a pinprick. If the patient feels pain, the doctor is happy, because it indicates that the burns are superficial and the pain receptors are intact. On the other hand, if the patient does not feel any pain, it indicates that it is a deep burn and the pain receptors have been destroyed.
《古兰经》在以下经文中清楚地提示了痛觉感受器的存在:
The Qur’an gives a clear indication of the existence of pain receptors in the following verse:
“那些否认我的迹象的人,我将很快把他们投入火狱;每当他们的皮肤被烧透,我就换给他们新的皮肤,好让他们尝到刑罚。”
“Those who reject our signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire; as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the Penalty:
…因为真主是至尊全能、至睿至智的。”[《古兰经》4:56] 泰国清迈大学解剖学系主任Tagatat Tejasen教授,曾花费大量时间研究痛觉感受器。起初他难以相信,《古兰经》早在1400多年前就提到了这一科学事实1400
for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.” [Al-Qur’an 4:56] Prof. Tagatat Tejasen, Chairman of the Department of Anatomy at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, has spent a great amount of time on research of pain receptors. Initially he could not believe that the Qur’an mentioned this scientific fact 1,400
多年前。他后来还核实了这节古兰经经文的翻译。泰杰森教授对这节古兰经经文的科学准确性印象深刻,因此在利雅得举行的第八届沙特医学大会上,即关于《古兰经》和圣训中科学迹象的会议上,他公开自豪地宣布:
years ago. He later verified the translation of this particular Qur’anic verse. Prof. Tejasen was so impressed by the scientific accuracy of the Qur’anic verse, that at the 8th Saudi Medical Conference held in Riyadh on the Scientific Signs of Qur’an and Sunnah, he proudly proclaimed in public:
“除真主外,别无应拜之主;穆罕默德是祂的使者。”ﷺ
“There is no God but Allah and Muhammad (pbuh) is His Messenger.”
