Quran & The sensory characteristic of the skin

This
man is uttering the Islamic creed (Shahaadah) and declaring that he is
becoming a Muslim. This occurred during the Eighth Saudi Medical
Conference which was convened in Riyadh. He is Professor Tagata
Tagasone, formerly Head of the Department of Anatomy and Embryology at
the University of Shiang Mai in Thailand. He is now the Dean of the
College of the Medicine at the University.

We presented to Professor Tagasone some Qur’aanic
verses and Prophetic Ahadeeth which deal with his specialization in the
field of anatomy. He commented that they also had in their Buddhist
books very accurate descriptions of embryonic developmental stages. We
told him that we were very anxious and interested to see those
descriptions and learn about these books. A year later, Professor Tcame
to King Abdul Aziz University as an outside examiner. We reminded him of
the statement he made one year before, but he apologized and said that
he in fact had made that statement without ascertaining the matter.
However, when he checked the Buddhist books he found that they contained
nothing of relevance to the subject.

Upon this we presented to him a lecture written by Professor Keith Moore
about the compatibility of modern embryology with what is contained in
the Qur’aan and the Sunnah and we asked Professor Tagasone if he knew of
Professor Keith Moore. He replied that he knew him of course, adding
that Professor Moore was one of the Most world-renowned scientists in
that field.

When Professor Tagasone studied this article he also was greatly
astonished. We asked him several questions in his field of
specialization. One of the questions pertained to modern discoveries in
dermatology about the sensory characteristics of the skin.
Dr. Tagasone responded: Yes if the burn is deep.

It was stated to Dr. Tagasone: You will be interested to know that in
this book, the Holy book the Qur’aan, there was a reference 1400 years
ago which refers to the moment of punishment of the unbelievers by the
fire of Hell and it states that when their skin is destroyed, Allah
makes another skin for them so that they perceive the punishment by a
fire, indicating knowledge about the nerve endings in the skin, and the
verse is:

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 chastisement: for
Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise [ Qur’aan 4:56]
So do you agree that this is a reference to the importance of the nerve endings in the skin in sensation, 1400 years ago?
Dr. Tagasone responded: Yes I agree. This knowledge
about sensation had been known long before. Because it says that if
somebody does something wrong, then he will be punished by burning his
skin and then Allah puts a new skin in him, cover him, to make him know
that the test is painful again. That means they knew many years ago that
the receptor of pain sensation must be on the skin, so they put a new
skin on.
The skin is the center of sensitivity to burns.
Thus, if the skin is completely burnt by fire, it looses its
sensitivity. It is for this reason that Allah will punish the
unbelievers on the Day of Judgement by returning to them their skins
time after time, as He, the Exalted and Glorified, said in the Qur’aan: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 chastisement: for Allah is Exalted in Power,
Wise (Qur’aan 4:56).
We asked him the following question: ‘Is it
possible that these verses came to the Prophet Muhammad, (sallallahu
‘alaihi wa sallam), from a human source?’
Professor Tagasone conceded that they could have never
come from any human source. But he still asked about the source of that
knowledge and from where could Muhammad have possibly received it?
We said, ‘From Allah, the Most Glorified and Most
Exalted.’ Then he asked: ‘But who is Allah?’ We replied: He is the
Creator of all that is in existence.’ If you find wisdom then it is
because it comes only from the one Who is Most Wise. If you find
knowledge in the making of this universe, it is because the universe is
the creation of the One Who has all the knowledge. If you find
perfection in the composition of these creations, then it is proof to
you that it is the creation of the One Who Knows Best. And if you find
mercy, then this bears witness to the fact that it is the creation of
the One Who is Most Merciful. In the same way, if you perceive creation
as belonging to one unified order and tied together firmly, then this is
proof that it is the creation of the Only Creator, May He be Glorified
and Exalted.
