No! If he does not stop, We will take him by
the naseyah (front of the head), a lying, sinful naseyah (front
of the head)!
(Quran, 96:15-16)
If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal
area of the cerebrum (see figure 12). What does physiology tell us about the
function of this area? A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy &
Physiology says about this area, “The motivation and the foresight
to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal
lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex...”
Also the book
says, “In relation to its invlovement in motivation, the prefrontal area is
also thought to be the functional center for aggression....”
So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and
initiating good and sinful behavior and is responsible for the telling of lies
and the speaking of truth. Thus, it is proper to describe the front of the head
as lying and sinful when someone lies or commits a sin, as the Quran has said, “...A lying, sinful
naseyah (front of the head)!”
Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the
last sixty years, according to Professor Keith L. Moore.
