Brain Waves In Quran
📖Quran 50:22
You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp.”
🔹 Link to Brain Waves:
- Gamma waves increase before death, possibly explaining why some people experience clarity or heightened vision in their final moments.
- The Quran describes that after death, people gain a new level of awareness, which aligns with the scientific findings of heightened brain activity at death.
📖Quran 23:99-100
“Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, ‘My Lord, send me back—That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind.’ No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.”
🔹 Link to Brain Waves:
- The dying brain recalls past memories, possibly explaining why the deceased long to return and fix their mistakes.
- This could be the scientific basis for the soul’s initial consciousness after death.
📖Sunan Abi Dawud 3231
“When a servant (of Allah) is placed in his grave, and his companions depart from him, he hears the stepping sound of their shoes.”
🔹 Link to Brain Waves:
- Hearing is the last sense to fade after death, science confirms that some level of auditory processing remains postmortem.
- This supports the hadith stating that the dead hear the footsteps of the living after burial.
In the last hours before an expected natural death, many people enter a period of unresponsiveness,” says study lead author Elizabeth Blundon, who was a PhD student in the department of psychology at the time of the study. “Our data shows that a dying brain can respond to sound, even in an unconscious state, up to the last hours of life.”In the last hours before an expected natural death, many people enter a period of unresponsiveness,” says study lead author Elizabeth Blundon, who was a PhD student in the department of psychology at the time of the study. “Our data shows that a dying brain can respond to sound, even in an unconscious state, up to the last hours of life, Additionally, electroencephalographic (EEG) activity has been recorded in brain-dead patients for an average duration of 36.6 hours, with some instances extending up to 168 hours. PubMed These findings suggest that certain brain functions, potentially including auditory processing, may continue for a limited time postmortem.
Summary:
The Quran (50:22) describes the moment of death when a person’s awareness becomes sharp, realizing the truth they were heedless of in life. This aligns with scientific findings that brain activity, including memory recall, can persist briefly after death, The Hadith (Sunan Abi Dawud 3231) states that after burial, the deceased hears the footsteps of the living. Science confirms that hearing is the last sense to fade and can persist for a short time after death, This hadith is linked to the Quranic verses describing awareness after death, confirming that consciousness and hearing continue briefly after the soul leaves the body.
