The Ninth Stage in Interpreting Scientific Data in Surah Al-Baqarah

The Ninth Stage in Interpreting Scientific Data in Surah Al-Baqarah “You were dead, and I will give you life.” “How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were dead, and He will give you life, then He will give you life, then you will be returned to Him?” The meaning of “you are dead” has been amplified, most notably: The first is that you were dead in the hearts of your fathers. He said, “The human being was created before he died.” You are not the one who created you, but who created you. You are a child of many, and you are a child of many. You were dead bodies without souls, like a fetus before a soul was breathed. Some people, such as Al-Razi and Al-Alusi, said that man was a body without a soul (meta) and then God breathed into him the spirit. 3 You were dead after you were created, and then I will give you life. He said, “You are dead, and you are dead.” Conclusion of Combining Words: The verse describes the existential stages of man: 1. You were dead: dirt or molds (in DNA) or in the embryonic stage before the soul was blown) 2. Finding (So Long: After Blowing the Soul) First, the scientific explanation: 1. Some commentators, may God have mercy on them, have stated that man was present at the time of death in the hearts of the fathers before the blowing of the soul, and modern science has enabled to clarify this: Combine verse, science, and prophetic talk, linking them to the human life cycle: The life cycle in the light of the Qur’an and knowledge. And you were dead, so I will give you life, then He will give you death, and then He will give you life. "You were dead." * Originally: Hereditary inanimate (DNA), lifeless. * Scientifically: Genetic material does not carry any manifestation of cognition or consciousness. I salute you: * Fetal life begins with the beginning of the breath of the soul as told by the Hadith: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “When forty-two nights pass by, Allah will send to her an angel, so she will be photographed, and her hearing, her sight, her skin, her flesh and her bones will be created.” Scientifically: After 42 days of pregnancy: The brain begins to emit clear EEG waves. Differentiate the three regions of the brain (front, middle, and posterior). The first nerve signals are triggered, and brain activity similar to sleep waves is observed in adults. The human body takes its full shape (head, limbs, facial features...). "Then he kills you": The end of life's first, biological death. Then He will bring you back to life. Second: Scientific miracle and Quranic precedent: 14 centuries ago, the Qur'an stated that man was present at the time of death in the hearts of the fathers before the breath of the soul, and defined the stages of man's existence from nothingness to life, death, and resurrection. * Prophetic Hadith agreed in determining the moment of major nervous and formative transformation starting from day 42. This is a point that scientists have only realized in recent decades via EEG and fMRI techniques. “We had an existence in death before life: a Qur’anic reading in the light of the genetics of the living.” 1. We had a presence in death before life He was a human being before he was born. And when your Lord took from the children of Adam from their backs their offspring. He said: “The problem is they have these plays and they bring a god on the stage when it really isn’t necessary,” and then he said: “No god should ever be brought onto the stage unless the plot is so difficult and so entangled that only a god can unravel it.” Genetic Vision: * This verse describes the image of a progenitor gene (prj-existence gjnjtique), where the progenitor was present as a genetic possibility in the appearance (genomics) of the parents. * It means that the genetic code of the offspring existed in the genetic origin of our father Adam, and this is in line with the concept of "pool g?n?tique equation" in the genetics of the population. 2. And we took the covenant of the Prophets [Al-Imran:81] Hereditary Vision: * The charter here was taken from a specific lineage of human (prophets). In static genetics, it is possible to talk about a special genetic line (haplogroup sp cifique) characterized by innate traits and distinct congenital predispositions, manifested in prophets and messengers. * They were selected by God from a special genetic chain within the total human population. We have given you water to drink. Hereditary Vision: * Refers to the Flood Incident, where the human genome was reshaped by those who survived on the ship. * From the perspective of the g-n-tique des populationes, this represents a goulot d-tranglement g-n-tique, in which genetic diversity was reduced, and then re-spreaded from the lineage of Noah and his sons. This event has a significant impact on current global gene distribution, which is confirmed by genetic studies suggesting common genetic commonalities belonging to very limited human populations in the past.

Contemporary genetic map as a manifestation of Quranic laws Deepen the link between Qur’anic concepts and static genetics, while proposing new research angles, and systematic alerts: 1. Promoting the Genetic Reading of the First Covenant (Ordinances: 172) A. Genetic embodiment of instinct/genetic predisposition to religious or spiritual experiences The "Innate Deism Testimony" can be interpreted as a reference to the presence of spiritual SNPs in the human genome carrying an innate predisposition to faith, which is consistent with recent studies linking certain genes (e.g., VMAT2) to religious testability. Many recent studies indicate that there is a genetic predisposition to religious or spiritual experiences that is still in its infancy, and there is no firm scientific consensus on them, but there is important research linking some genes to the susceptibility to spiritual experiences. Here are some scientific references about the VMAT2 gene and other possible genetic factors associated with religion and faith: 1) Studies on the VMAT2 gene (Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2) - Basic study: Hamer, D. (2004). "The God Gene: How Faith is Hardwired into our Genes". Hammer hypothesizes that the VMAT2 gene (responsible for the transport of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin) may be associated with a predisposition to spiritual experiences. The study is based on psychological questionnaires and genetic tests, but it is controversial because it does not prove a direct causal link. Other studies that support the idea: Zhang et al. (2017) in a paper titled "Genetic Variants in the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 gene (SLC18A2) are associated with sperital dependence" (published in the Journal of Religion and Health). Borg et al. (2003) found that VMAT2 influences personality and openness to spiritual experiences (molecular psychology). 2) Other genes associated with spiritual orientation - Gene COMT (Catechol-O-Methyltransferase): It is associated with dopamine regulation and is related to anxiety and response to deep experiences (such as meditation and prayer). - Study: "COMT Val158Met polymorphism is associated with epistemological experiences" (Pauli et al., 2019, Frontiers in Psychology). - 5-HTTLPR gene (serotonin transporter): Some forms are linked to emotional sensitivity, which can affect religious experiences. - Study: "Serotonin transporter polymorphism and mystical experience" (Borg et al., 2017). 3) Criticism and clarification These studies do not prove that faith itself is genetically inherited, but rather suggest that certain genes may make an individual more open to spiritual or contemplative experiences. There are great scientific reservations, because spirituality is more influenced by the environment and culture than genes. There is no gene literally called "Spiritual SNP", but the term has been used here as a metaphor to understand the Quranic verse in light of these theories. 4) Conclusion: The verse "Ain't You God" may refer to the innateness of faith, and modern genetic studies are looking at possible biological mechanisms for this predisposition. But the Qur'anic explanation remains above the immutable scientific theories. If you want specific references, you can look at: - PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Using words such as: - "Genetics of spirituality" - "VMAT2 and religion" - "COMT and mystical experiences" It was pointed out that these hypotheses required further investigation and should not be generalized as categorical facts. Correspondence between proto-atomic and genetic diversity: His statement that "they scatter in his hands like corn" is similar to the process of "genetic scattering" where alleles randomly spread in clusters, reinforcing the idea that each human being carries part of the original genetic diversity. 2. Prophetic selection and its genetic mechanisms (Al-Imran: 81) Genetic Signs of Prophecy: Distinguished "genetic signatures" can be searched for in prophetic dynasties (such as the J1 haplogroup to which many prophets in the Middle East belong), noting that divine selection is not necessarily subject to physical genetic laws. - Somatic-somatic inheritance: Combine the transmission of physical (e.g., genes of intelligence or power) and spiritual (e.g., revelation) traits across the lineage, with the caveat that current genetics is unable to measure the metaphysical aspect. 3. Flood and its effects on genetic diversity (Horse: 11) Genetic evidence on the bottleneck: Studies of the mitochondrial Eve and Y-Adam chromosome suggest that humanity experienced genetic asphyxiations >70,000 years ago, which may correspond to a flood (though date varies). He suggests studying FOXP2 mutations (responsible for language) as evidence for remodeling human capabilities after it. - Differentiation of breeds after the flood: “And We have made you peoples and tribes” (Quran 13) can be linked to the emergence of “population structure” after the isolation of the surviving groups. 4. New angles and research horizons The sleeping genes (Junk DNA) Can unknown parts of DNA contain First Testament records or fungi? (e.g. retrotransposons) Epigenetics and the Charter: Study the possibility of translocation of "codified memory" via epigenetic inheritance (e.g. DNA methylation) that affects behavior without altering the genetic sequence. 5. Systematic warnings First: The Limits of Science: Science describes "how" but the Qur'an explains "why," not reducing the divine covenant to a biochemical process. Warning against falling into the trap of genetic profiling: Avoid linking certain human lineages to “my spiritual excellence” without evidence, in keeping with the principle that “if I honor you with God, I will fear you.” Application Example: In the story of Adam's creation from dust: the mineral elements in the soil (such as silicon, iron) can be interpreted as a symbol of the basic components of DNA (phosphate in the chain, iron in hemoglobin), reinforcing the idea of contact between physical and spiritual origin. “Allah has chosen Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran over all the worlds” [Al-Imran: 33]. Here is a detailed analysis of the nature of this selection: --- 1. Legitimate selection God’s choice is the selection of individuals, families, or nations for specific roles in the path of guidance, based on His eternal knowledge and wisdom, not on mere material qualities. - It is not a genetic superiority in the biological sense: it does not mean that their lineage carries superior spiritual genes, but is a selection for a religious function (such as prophecy, goodness, or carrying the message). --- 2. Dimensions of Selection in the Quran A. Prophetic Selection Adam, Noah, and Abraham: Allah has exalted him above you with a slight increase in knowledge and body. - The selection here is linked to: - Spiritual perfections (such as infallibility, or piety). - Leadership abilities (such as simple in science and body). Historical function (e.g., rebuilding the nation after the flood in the case of Noah). B. Selection of families (Al Ibrahim, Al Imran) Abraham's descendants included prophets such as Isaac and Jacob, and infidels such as Abraham's father Azer. - It's a lineup for: It is like a test and a test, and it is a word that remains in its wake. - Presenting models for humanity (such as the selection of Mary from the House of Imran without being a prophet). C. General Selection of the Islamic Ummah You were the best nation that was brought forth for mankind. Selection here is conditioned by function: ( Order good and forbid evil), not hereditary qualities. --- 3. Is there a relationship between selection and genes? - If any, limited: It may be understood from the selection of prophets that God gave them innate predispositions (such as the power of intelligence, patience, or physical health) that help them bear the burdens of the message, but this is not racial superiority. Do not be afraid of God’s Word, for it is God’s will for you. A warning of misunderstanding: Some pseudo-scientific studies have attempted to link human lineages (such as the Israelites) to “prophecy genes,” a misinterpretation, since prophecy is a divine gift, not the exclusive domain of a genetic group. Even if there are common genetic features in the prophets (such as physical strength), they are means of fulfilling a religious function, not a reason for selection. --- 4. The difference between God’s selection and racial superiority The difference between God's selection and racial superiority Divine Selection Racial Excellence (Legally Denied) * Linked to a religious function (e.g. prophecy) based on racial claims conditioned by faith and good deeds. * Non-hereditary (in which there are prophets from infidel families such as Ibrahim peace be upon him) depends on descent only Genetic traits are inevitable. --- 5. Contemporary Applications Genetics and Selection: If science ever discovered that some prophets carry certain genes (such as those of intelligence or power), it doesn’t mean that prophecy is inherited, but that God gave them tools to help them with their mission. Stay away from genetic racism: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also warned against tribal nervousness: “There is no one among us who calls for nervousness.” Book Review: The Scientific Interpretation and Miracle of the Holy Qur'an Mohamed Bourbab — Source: Published on Dr. Mohammed Bourbab's Facebook page on 2025-08-04 https://www.facebook.com/bourbab.m/posts/pfbid02UrW51ZJoZtYg918VowGP3SSLyFHMb7MvkF7K26k7txRxbD7DN7ZNcFpx2Sxm2t6hl
