Scientists have recently discovered that a significant activity occurs in the upper front part of the brain (forelock) when the man lies or make specific errors. Therefore scientists have decided that the center of lying and error in humans is in the upper front part of the brain which is called the frontal lobe, God be he exalted says:
(Nay! If he (Abû Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock -A lying, sinful forelock!)
[Surat Al-Alaq, verses: 15-16]
The Quran described the upper front part of the humans’ brain (forelock) with two properties lying and error. It was proved for doctors recently the relation between this region and lying and error in humans, they had no knowledge of that at the time of the descent of this verse. Therefore this verse is considered to be one of the signs of the miraculous nature of the holy Quran and that it is a book that doesn’t contradict with the definite science.
