The Skin and Sensation of pain

1. The Skin and Sensation of pain Al-Insan http://www.nurulquran.com

2. Allah the Almighty says: Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise. (4:56) http://www.nurulquran.com

3. What does science say about the function of the skin? Which the Quran says is the place where pain and punishment are felt. The most important function of skin is to “feel” The three main sensations felt by the skin are as follows: The sensation of touch: the corpuscles responsible for such sensation are called Meissnersand Merkels corpuscles. The sensation of pain: this is transported by the nerve endings in the skin. The sensation of heat: this is the responsibility of Ruffini cylinders corpuscles. http://www.nurulquran.com

4. Did Muhammad, peace and blessing of Allah be upon him have anatomical equipment that fellow human beings of his time did not have? Or is this one of the Sign of Allah, testifying to the fact that the Quran is the word of Allah. Which he revealed with his Knowledge? It has been clearly mentioned that the skin is the chief source of feeling pain to the exclusion of other parts of the body Receptors located on the skin are responsible for detecting touch, pain etc. An example of such a receptor is the hairs located on the skin. http://www.nurulquran.com

5. Taking skin burns as a distinct cause for the skin sensation of pain, burns can be divided into 3 types: 1-     ‪Burns of first degree (sun burns): these affect the epidermis causing swelling and moderate pain.  The phenomena of redness, swelling and pain usually disappear within two to three days. 2-     ‪Burns of second degree: epidermis and dermis are injured.  In such a case, a detachment  occurs between epidermis and dermis, causing the collection of secretions between these two layers The injured person suffers from severe pain, and excessive increase of pain sensation, due to irritation of exposed nerve ending particularly after the outburst of blisters.  The skin starts to heal within 14 days as a result of the process of renovation and inversion under the skin.‬ 3-     ‪Burns of third degree: the whole skin thickness is burned and perhaps the injury may reach the muscles or the bone.   The skin loses elasticity and becomes rough and dry.  In this case, the injured person do not feel much pain, as nerve endings have been damaged almost completely due to burning http://www.nurulquran.com

6. Allah did not say “as often as their skins are burned”, as burning could be partial, but He rather said: “as often as their skins are roasted through”, i.e., totally burned with all nerves of sensation and pain.  So, He the Almighty associated between the sensation of pain and the skin when roasted and burned totally, thus losing its structure and function.  When sensation of pain is lost, a new fully composed and functional skin is replaced, where the nerve ending responsible for the painful sensation of heat and burn perform and function to make the unbeliever taste the punishment of being burned with fire over and over again. http://www.nurulquran.com

7. The skin truly is one of the miracles of Allah (SWT) http://www.nurulquran.com
