1- Prophet Muhammad's Saying (Hadith) & and the Miracle:
The following is the Hadith in Arabic and my English translation to it:
|
حدثنا
حسن بن علي الحلواني حدثنا أبو توبة الربيع بن نافع حدثنا معاوية
يعني ابن سلام عن زيد أنه سمع أبا سلام يقول حدثني عبد
الله بن فروخ أنه سمع عائشة تقول
Hasan bin Al-Hilwani narrated to us that Abu Tawbah Al-Rabie bin Nafi'a narrated that Muaawiyah Yaani ibn Salam narrated that Zaid narrated that he heard Abu Salam said that Abdallah bin Farookh narrated that he heard Aisha (the wife of the Prophet) say that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said that every man from the people of Adam (i.e., mankind) was created on 60 and 300 joints MIFSAL مفصل. So whoever glorifies Allah, praises Allah, calls people to Allah, makes supplications to Allah, seeks forgiveness from Allah, removes a stone, needle or bone from the people's path (i.e., removes obstacles from people's paths), and enjoins what is just and forbid what is wrong in the number of those 60 and 300 joints ALSULAMA السلامى, he will then on that day remove himself from Hell Fire. |
Only a handful of joints are noticeable in the body. The Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, said that there are 360 joints (MIFSAL مفصل, ALSALAMA السلامى) in the human body. Prophet Muhammad used two words to describe them. Only a handful are visible to the naked eye (knees, elbows, knuckles, etc...). Yet, it's been scientifically proven that the human body indeed has 360 joints, and in different types. So the Prophet's use of different words to describe "joints" is also supported scientifically.
(a)- Ample scientific definitions for mifsal مفصل and alsulama السلامى:
Both mifsal and alsalama have broad meanings. Some infidels tried to limit their meanings to only "chains". That is completely incorrect. The following are some of the meanings of the words:
1- Mifsal مفصل.
From http://baheth.info/all.jsp?term=مفصل :
والمَفْصِل واحد مَفاصِل الأَعضاء
The mifsal is one joint from the body's joints.
والمَفْصِل كل ملتقى عظمين من الجسد
The mifsal is where two bones join in the body.
وقيل: ماء المَفاصِل هنا شيء
يسيل من بين المَفْصِلين
And it is said: The water of mafasil (plural of
mifsal) means it flows from between two mifsalyn
(dual plural of mifsal).
المَفْصِل
مَفْرق ما بين الجبل والسَّهْل
The mifsal is cracked or opened path between
the mountain and the valley.
من الجَسَدِ: مَوْضِعُ
المَفْصِلِ، وبين كُلِّ مَفْصِلَيْنِ وَصْلٌ
In the body, the location of the mifsal, and between two mifsalyn (dual
plural of mifsal) is a link.
وعِقْدٌ مُفَصَّلٌ،
أي جُعِلَ بين كلِّ لؤلؤتين خَرَزَةٌ
A chain of mifsal is linking pierced pearls with a
thread.
وقوله عز
وجل: هذا يوم الفَصْل؛ أَي هذا يوم يفصَل فيه بين المحسن والمسيء ويجازي
كل بعمله
Allah Almighty Said: "This is the Day of Fasl",
which means the day when good and evil people are
separated, and each will be judged based on their accomplishments.
So basically, any two entities or things joined together are joined through a mifsal. Mifsal not just limited to linking two straight bones. There are different types of joints in the human body. See main section #2 below.
2- Alsulama السُلامى.
From http://baheth.info/all.jsp?term=السُلامى :
السَلْمُ: الدَلْوُ
Alsulm is a pitcher or container.
والسُّلَّمُ: واحد السَلاليمِ التي
يُرْتَقى عليها، وربّما سمّي الغَرْزُ بذلك
And Alsullam (ladder or stepladder) is one from
alsalaalim that one would step on.
السُلامى في
الأصل عظمٌ
Alsulama is essentially bones.
السُّلامى والعَين
The eye and its container (bone sulama).
So basically, alsulama is a broad word that means a bone-container, a pitcher or container, or a step from a chain of stepladder.
Again, only a handful of joints are noticeable in the body. The Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, said that there are 360 joints (MIFSAL مفصل, ALSALAMA السلامى) in the human body. Prophet Muhammad used two words to describe them. Only a handful are visible to the naked eye (knees, elbows, knuckles, etc...). Yet, it's been scientifically proven that the human body indeed has 360 joints, and in different types. So the Prophet's use of different words to describe "joints" is also supported scientifically.

2- Medical evidence about the 360 joints:
The following medical websites confirm that the human body does have 360 joints in it:
Article #1:
Indigenous Health Measurement Group meeting in Vancouver, Canada - a PDF file: www.answering-christianity.com/human_body_has_360_joints.pdf:
"Technically, arthritis is inflammation of a joint. However, the term is used much more generally to describe any pain producing damage to the joint. Given the large number of joints in the human body (213 bones with about 360 joints), the number of arthritic problems encountered is large. More than 150 forms of arthritis are already recognised in the literature. The term ‘musculoskeletal conditions’ includes all disorders associated with bones, muscles and connective tissues of the body, including arthritis. Monitoring this vast array of conditions is a formidable task."

'A'ishah (A.S.) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Everyone has been created with three hundred and sixty Joints. Whoever mentions Allah's greatness (says Allahu Akbar), praises Allah, extols Allah, and seeks forgiveness from Allah and removes stones from the path of the people, enjoins what is good and forbids the evil to the amount of those three hundred and sixty joints (sulama), he walks on that Day (of Judgment) having distanced himself from the Hell fire." Abu Dharr (A.S.) narrated "the Prophet said (PBUH): "In every morning there is a charitable act on the joints of any of you. Every tasbihah (to say: subhanallah, i.e. Glory be to Allah) is a charitable act; every tahmidah (to say: al-hamdu lillah, i.e. Praise be to Allah) is a charitable act, every tahlilah (to say: la ilaha illallah, i.e. There is none worthy of worship but Allah) is a charitable act; every takbirah (to say: Allahu akbar, i.e. Allah is the Greatest) is a charitable act; enjoining the right is a charitable act; forbidding the evil is a charitable act. However, to fulfill that charity, it is sufficient to pray two rak'at of Duha." The word "Sulama" in Arabic refers to the joint. It can be also used for all the body bones and the joints between them. Most of the body bones are movable, but some are fixed as those of the skull. The Explanation of the Hadith The hadith clearly directs Muslims to be grateful to Allah, the Almighty, Who dignifies and honors man, over all other creatures, by giving him a straight upright skeleton. It has been created of a huge number of big and small bones and cartilage. Between every two bones, there is a joint to enable the bones and to protect the body's soft parts. These joints enable the person to stand up, sit down, lie on his side, bend, stretch, etc. Every Muslim who worships Allah, Glorified be He, must be grateful to Allah for every one of these joints, and offer a charitable act, in way of gratitude to His Creator, for this great blessing, without which life would have been impossible. It is amazing that the Prophet (PBUH) mentioned the number of the body joints so precisely, at a time when nobody had any idea about human anatomy. Even now in the 21st century, many people still do not know the number of joints in their bodies, including many professors of orthopedics. I asked many of them, and their answer was between 200 and 300 bones, and around 100-300 joints. Likewise, many international encyclopedias avoid giving an exact number of bones and joints of the human skeleton by classifying them into major groups or subdivision. The Encyclopedia Britannica classified them into three subdivisions: 1- The Axial Skeleton: which consists of the bones of the vertebral column and the majority of the skull bones. 2- The Visceral Skeleton: which consists of the thorax (the ribs and the breastbones), the lower jaw and some parts of the upper jaw. 3- The Appendicular Skeleton: which consists of the bones of the pelvic girdles, shoulders and limbs. The Hatchinson Encyclopedia, published in 1995, mentioned that the number of bones in a human skeleton is only 206 bones. In his book titled, "The Journey of Faith inside the Human Body", Dr.Hamid Ahmed Hamid mentioned that the total number of the human body joints is exactly 360, as the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) stated 1400 years ago. According to Dr. Hamid, the details of these bones are as follows:  Joints in the human body First: 147 joints in the vertebral column 25 joints between the vertebrae. 72 joints between the vertebrae and the ribs. Second: 24 joints in the thorax 2 joints between the bones of the sternum and the thoracic cage. 18 joints between the sternum and the ribs. 2 joints between the clavicle and the scapulae (shoulder blade). 2 joints between the scapulae and the thorax. Third: 86 joints in the upper extremity 2 joints between the scapular bones. 6 joints between the elbows. 8 joints between the wrists. 70 joints between the hand bones. Fourth: 92 joints in the lower extremity 2 hip joints. 6 joints between the knee bones. 6 joints between the ankles. 74 joints between the feet bones. Fifth: 11 joints in the Pelvis 4 joints between the coccyx vertebrae. 6 joints between the bones acetabulm. 1 joint of the pubic sumphysis. Total number of joints: 360 Those joints, mentioned in the hadith, are the movable joints in the human body, which give the ability to the vertebral column and hence the whole body to move freely. The immovable joints, as those joining the skull bones, are not counted here. The movable ones are also known as "The Synovial joints", for they contain a fluid known as the "Synonvial fluid". This fluid allows friction-free movement of the bones by reducing direct contact. For example, the hip joint, composed of a ball-like head of the femur that fits into a socket-like depression of the pelvis bone, makes the hip and the whole leg movements easy and flexible. Another example is the Hinge joint, which enables man to easily bend his leg. Another type of joints is called "The Gliding joints" as that of the radiocarpal (wrist) joint. In this joint, the facing bone surfaces are in most cases flat, allowing the bones to glide freely in several directions. The joint between the two upper vertebrae has a special structure. It allows the side movement of the head, through the rotation of the ball-like head of one vertebra into the socket-like depression of the other vertebra. Were it not for the joints created by Allah the Almighty, man would not have been able to move one bone in his body. The defect in one joint causes a lot of pain and problems. |

4- Conclusion:
I find it interesting that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used different words to describe the human body's 360 joints. Science has shown us that the human body is made of different types of joints. And we've seen above how many scientists today claim that the human body is made of 360 joints. More importantly, we've also seen above, and also linked below, the Glorious Quran's stunning Numerical and Scientific Miracles.
Indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone for making the Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for us humans, out of all of His Divine Miracles! And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.

"I cannot do anything on my own." (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!). I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!! I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty! John 5:31 "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!" GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses. GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient! Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more"; |
