MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM (‘IDHAAM & ‘ADHALAAT) and PHYSICAL EXERCISE

Prof.Dr.Omar Hassan Kasule Sr.


OUTLINE

EXTERNAL ORGANS MENTIONED IN THE QUR'AN

THE UPPER LIMB & LOWER LIMB

SOCIAL INTERACTION

PHYSICAL EXERCISE


EXTERNAL ORGANS DESCRIBED IN THE QUR’AN

Head and Neck

The following organs were mentioned in the Qur'an: head (ra’as, p 279 2:196 … 5:63), cheek (khadh, 2:19, 71:7, 8:21, 75:4), chin (dhiqn, 17:107, 17:109, 36:8), neck (raqbat, 22:9, 47:4), neck (‘unq, p 281 8:12 … 111:5), and face (wajh, p 283 2:144 … 75:2).

Upper limb

The following parts of the upper limb were mentioned in the Qur'an: digit (2:19, 71:7, 8:21, 75:4), elbow (mirfaq, p 283 5:6), hand (yad, p 283-4 2:249 .. 111:1). Fingers are used to point in salat (KS p. 86), in dua (KS p. 86), and in khutbah (KS p. 86).

Trunk and abdomen

The following parts of the trunk were mentioned by the Qur'an: back (dhahr, p 280 2:101 .. 94:3), upper arm (‘idhd 28:35), forehead (jabiin 9:35, 37:102), janb (3:191, 9:103, 9:35, 32:6)

Lower limb

The following parts of the lower limb were mentioned in the Qur'an. Leg (rijl, p 279 2:196 … 5:63), shin (saaq, 37:44, 75:29), and ka’ab (5:6).

The bone which is the framework of the skeleton was mentioned in the Qur'an (‘adhm, p 281 8:12 … 111:5, 17:49 … 79:11). The skeleton’s functions: support, movement, and protection.

Muscles are mentioned in the Qur'an as meat (lahm, 23:14, 49:12): Human civilisation is based on the energy produced by contractions of human and animal muscles.

Joints: A human has 360 joints (KS p.105)

Uses of organs for worship, work, aggression, sinning. Prostration in salat on 17 bones (MB # 464 p 252, KS p. 274). Organs can also be misused to commit sins. Zina of organs other than the genitalia eg the eye, ear, and the leg was mentioned by the prophet (KS p. 264, MB #2061 p 968). Organs will act as witnesses against the owner on the last day so that he or she can not deny their sins.

Significance of wudhu

(a) only exposed organs are washed: the face, hands, forearm, leg, ear, mouth, nose, and hair (Muslim #436, 437)

(b) cleaning the nose (Muslim #462) clears germs and dirt. Wudhu is not valid without istinjai which cleans the excreta away.


THE UPPER LIMB & LOWER LIMB

The upper limb is for manipulation and is specialized for manual dexterity. The lower limb is for posture and mobility and is specialized for weight-bearing and walking..

The hand

The sophisticated human hand is responsible for the advanced human civilisation. It is also responsible for the destruction of war and a lot of human tragedies. Humans are able to use their hands to make tools that enable them to exploit their environment more efficiently. The hands are capable of very precise movements using the small muscles of the hand (thenar eminence, hypo-thenar eminence, and the longitudinal muscles of the palm). The hand has three types of grip: power grip, hook grip, and precision grip.

The arm

The upper and forearms are levers to position the hand. They are capable of very fine and sophisticated movements.

Most land animals walk and support their weight on 4 limbs. Humans have an upright posture and are able to walk on the lower limbs leaving the upper limb free for manipulation. Control of posture and movement in humans is very advanced to enable upright walking. Posture-regulating system involves the central nervous system and muscles. Voluntary muscles are finely controlled (Ganong p. 185). The role of the pyramidal system.

Fight or flight instincts

Humans like animals are adapted to fight or run away in case of danger.


SOCIAL INTERACTION

The human facial muscles play a very important role in verbal and non-verbal communication making possible the building of a sophisticated civilisation. Facial expressions can show happiness or anger. The Prophet used to show anger on his face. He also smiled and laughed. The vocal muscles help in producing noises that may be happiness, anger, or frightening. Hand-shake. Body language is an effective non-verbal form of communication.

Vocalisation and language: are necessary for human social interaction. They are based on movements of muscles and skeletal parts.

Organs of vocalisation: The mouth, pharynx, and larynx produce voice for communication. The recitation of the Qur’an in a sweet voice (Muslim #1728, 1730, 1732, 1734, 1735) is made possible by these organs.

Larynx (hanjara 33:10, 40:18, hulqum 56:87): The vocal cords of the larynx vibrate to produce laryngeal sound. The larynx controls loudness, pitch, and quality of sound. The mouth, the pharynx, and the nasal cavities modify the laryngeal sounds.

Toungue (lisaan, p 282-3 5:78 … 90:8-9): The changing shape of the tongue controls air flow producing different sounds. By changing position the tongue varies the size and shape of the buccal cavity which acts as a resonator.

Muteness (bukm) was mentioned in the Qur'an. 2:18, 2:171, 6:39, 8:22, 16:76, 19:97


PHYSICAL EXERCISE

Continuous movement and exercise of the musculo-skeletal system is a physiological necessity for gorowth in infants and to prevent disuse atrophy.

Salat as physical exercise that is repeated five times a day. Nafila prayers are an additional opportunity. Salat exercises most muscle groups. Although we say that salat has the benefit of physical exercise, we should not forget that this is not its only or even most important reason. Salat is first and foremost ibadat that is carried out for the pleasure of Allah.

The Prophet exercised by wrestling as a young man. He used to race against his wife Aishah. The Prophet used to walk in haste (harwalat). Omar Ibn al Khattab encouraged youths to play games that give them strength such as horse riding.

Physical exercise is best undertaken while doing some work that is useful for the community. It does not make much sense to exercise just for the sake of exercising.

Quran's STUNNING Divine Miracles: [1]
 

Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind.  For example:
  

1-  The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran.  Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran.  See detailed listing here.


Coincidence?
  See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).

Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

Stunning Prophecies [2] [3]

 

2-  Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years.  Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters.  You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.

3-  Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
  

       -  Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
       -  Is rotating around itself.
       -  Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
       -  Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
  

"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
  
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day.  NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its
trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode).  It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.

 

Coincidence?  See 1,000s of examples [1].Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

  
Islam also thoroughly rejects as man-made lies the Trinity and Crucifixion [2].  Jesus was also thoroughly called
slave of GOD [1] in both the OT and NT.


Quran:  All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1] قول   (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed).  See also the 39+ members of trinity.  Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.

  

John 5:30  "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";    ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40)  Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.
