stages: "Then after that you will most surely die." (Qur'an 23/15) Just as these stages are true,
as mentioned in the Qur'an, the stage which follows death is also true: "Then surely on the Day of
Resurrection you shall be raised." (Qur'an 23/16)
The Qur'an (53/45-46) informs us that it is the man's sperm that determines the baby's gender: "And
that He creates the pairs, male and female, from a [drop of] when it is emitted." According
to modern science, at conception, gender is determined by chromosome characteristics and it is the
male's sperm that dictates whether the baby will be a boy or a girl. Prior to conception, the unfertilized
egg carries an X chromosome while the sperm can carry either an X or a Y chromosome. The gender
of the baby comes down to one simple event: If the sperm carrying an X chromosome fertilizes the
egg, a girl will be conceived. If the sperm carrying a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, a boy will be
conceived.
The Qur'an (39/6) also mentions the three layers of darkness surrounding the human embryo: (i) the
anterior abdominal wall, (ii) the uterine wall; and (iii) the amniochorionic membrane: "…He creates
you stage by stage in your mothers' wombs in a threefold darkness…"
The Qur'an (96/15-16) says, "No indeed! If he does not desist, We will grab him by the
forelock, a lying, sinful forelock." This verse was revealed as a warning to a cruel, oppressive
tribal leader named Abu Jahl who lived during the time of Muhammad. God does not call this person
a liar, but calls his forehead (the front part of the brain) 'lying' and 'sinful', and warns him to stop.
This verse is significant for two reasons. The first is that the front part of our brain is responsible for
voluntary movement.[9] This is known as the frontal lobe. Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, a
book which includes the results of research on the functions of this area states,: "The motivation and
the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the
prefrontal area.[10] The part of the brain that is responsible for movement is said to be seized if the
man does not stop. Secondly, numerous studies have shown that this same region (frontal lobe) is
responsible for the lying function of the brain.[11]
In one study at the University of Pennsylvania in which volunteers were asked questions during a
computerized interrogation, it was found that when the volunteers were lying there was significantly
increased activity in the prefrontal and premotor cortices (frontal lobe region). The front part of the
brain is responsible for movement and lying. The Qur'an links movement and lying to this area. These
functions of the frontal lobe were discovered with medical imaging equipment which was developed
in the 20th century. Modern science has discovered that the front of the head is responsible for judging
and for directing human behavior, especially in matters relating to truth, falsehood, right and
wrong.[12]
