The Age of Forty
Scientists have recently discovered that growth doesn’t end at the age of 21; the brain rather continues to grow until the age of forty. In other words, man’s growth is completed only at the age of forty. The holy Qur’an has revealed this fact for Allah says:
“At length, when he reaches
The age of full strength
And attains forty years,
He says, “O my Lord!
Grant me that I may be
Grateful for Thy favour
Which Thou hast bestowed
Upon me.” Ahqaf or Winding Sand-tracts: 15 (ibid)
All glory to Allah; again we wonder who might have revealed this to Prophet Mohammad, PBUH.
Alcohol and Blood Pressure
A recent scientific study has confirmed that drinking alcohol causes fatal and destructive diseases. Besides, patients with blood pressure who drink alcohol are up to five times more likely to die prematurely. The World Health Organization also affirms that drinking alcohol causes millions of traffic accidents. A sound chain of transmission reported: Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, said: “Allah has cursed alcohol, the one who drinks it, the one who pours it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who squeezes (the grapes etc), the one for whom it is squeezed, the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried.”
The Stupor of Death
Shortly before death, man undergoes certain physical changes such as sleepiness and loss of consciousness. Besides, due to lack of oxygen that reaches the brain, man becomes confused and suffers from delirium, it becomes harder to swallow saliva and breathing slows. Scientists say that such symptoms resemble those of pre-death symptoms. All glory to Allah who describes such a state in the holy Qur’an using a new expression, “the stupor of death”, Allah, the Exalted says:
“ And the stupor of death
Will bring truth (before
His eyes): “This was
The thing which thou
Wast trying to escape!” Qaf: 19 (ibid)
The question is who might have revealed such a scientific fact to Prophet Mohammad, PBUH?
Happiness and the Heart
A recent American study confirms that little happiness has a positive impact on the safety and stability of the heart. Researchers also say that you can protect yourself from the risks of heart diseases just by looking at life positively and giving yourself a bit of happiness through changing your negative thoughts and replacing them with optimistic ones. In other words, if you want to have a life that’s full of happiness, you must have faith and trust in Allah for it is Allah who says:
“Whoever works righteousness,
Man or woman, and has Faith,
Verily, to him will We give
A new Life, a life
That is good and pure, and We
Will bestow on such their reward
According to the best
Of their actions.” Nahl or the Bee: 97 (ibid)
Visiting Patients
According to a recent scientific research, it has been found that visiting patients boosts the immune system of the visitor for man’s immune system is extremely sensitive to what it sees and considers. Visiting patients and checking on them, therefore, boosts such system. That’s why Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, told us that we should visit patients since Imam Muslim and Imam Bukhari reported: the messenger of Allah said: “The rights of the Muslim upon the Muslim are six: When you meet him, give him the greeting of peace, when he invites you, respond to his invitation, when he seeks your advice, advise him, when he sneezes and praises Allah, supplicate for mercy upon him, when he becomes ills, visit him, and when he dies follow him (i.e. his funeral).”
