It is a fact that We have created the man, living humanity, from a single sperm having characteristic/consisting/composition of gathering/concentration/mixture. Purposely, We keep subjecting the Man to exposure trials. Thereby, We made him capable of listening and vision. [76:02] At nine weeks, the embryo's ballooning brain allows it to bend its body, hiccup, and react to loud sounds. At week ten, it moves its arms, "breathes" amniotic fluid in and out, opens its jaw, and stretches. Before the first trimester is over, it yawns, sucks, and swallows, as well as feels and smells. By the end of the second trimester, it can hear; toward the end of pregnancy, it can see. [Fetal Psychology] The Ears are the organ that enables listening:
Moreover, for them are the Ears, but they do not keep listening with them. [Refer 7:179] Not anything of the shape of an ear is an ear since it cannot facilitate the listening. Idols/statues apparently have ears but:
"Or for them are those ears with which they could keep listening?" [Refer 7:195] The sculpted statues, whom some people worship, do have an organ, resembling the shape of an ear. However, the genuine ear has three parts. The outer ear collects sounds from the outer world and forwards them to the middle ear, which reinforces the sound vibrations reaching it and transmits them to the inner ear. The inner ear then sends them to the brain by turning them into electrical signals according to their intensity and frequency. After visiting several places in the brain, the messages are finally transmitted to the hearing center where these signals are processed and interpreted, and the process of hearing finally takes place. One of the most surprising things is the speed at which the 20,000 micro-hairs in the channels in the ear react. The middle channel vibrates at 256 times a second. The channel immediately above it vibrates at 512 times a second, and the channel above that, at 1,024 times. The micro-hairs’ efficiency in analyzing such fast vibrations allows us to distinguish with great sensitivity the sounds reaching the ears. This constitutes one of the most sensitive and rapid reactions in the body. Even during sleep the ear functions with incredible efficiency. Because the brain can interpret and select signals passed to it by the ear, a man can sleep soundly through noisy traffic and the blaring of a neighbor's television set and then awaken promptly at the gentle urging of a chime alarm clock." (Stevens S.S. [Professor of Psychophysics, Harvard University] & Warshofsky, Fred [science writer], "Life Science Library, Time-Life Books: Alexandria VA, Revised Edition, p.38) The Grand Qur'aan mentions information about this phenomenon in the Episode of some young Believers/Muslims who had run away from their locality, and taken refuge in the Cave.
Thereupon, We caused a veil-partition-barrier emerge upon their Ears/listening faculty in the Cave for a number of years. [18:11] The object of the transitive verb
Moreover, on physically seeing, you would have deemed them awake while the fact is that they were tranquilly asleep. [Refer 18:17] The nature of their sleep also finds mention:
[like state of coma for which reason] And We kept turning them on their right and left sides. [Refer 18:17] Allah, the Exalted, is always mindful of the wellbeing of people. Medical experts might appreciate the consequence if their sides were not kept turning during long period of their remaining in such deep sleep.
Listening could become meaningful only when the stated thing has been interpreted and stored in the memory. About the Ears, Grand Qur'aan has also given this information:
So that We may make that happening/episode for you people a message-memory-narrative; and so that the ears having characteristic of acting as retainer/receptacle may remember/retain it. [69:12]
Both the words are from Root
"و ع ى".
The basic perception infolded is to "keep or retain".
This fact became known and was recognized in 1960:
The fact about existing realities is that not all are visible to human naked eye. The Primal Creator, or the knowledgeable-observant-scientist, conveys the knowledge about certain realities, not apparent to human eye, with the help of metaphors. The description of the invisibly existing reality through metaphors enables a person to have its general and broader perception-image by relating it to the verbal picturing of characteristic features of the metaphor.
We will henceforth keep visually exposing, Our tangible-physical realities prevalent in the Universe and in their own bodies, to the eyes of those who do not accept the Qur'aan, in order that it may become self evident/manifest for them that he/i.e. Qur'aan is the verbal description of firmly established fact. [Refer 41:53]
The Grand Qur'aan has informed that Allah will keep bringing to human
visual observation, the knowledge about the universe and human body, and
it will become manifest to the people that the Qur'aan is a statement of
proven fact/absolute reality.
Why a first time visual observation of hitherto unseen thing manifests
that, the Qur'aan is a statement of proven fact? This is possible only
if the same thing verbally finds mention of it in the Qur’aan. Verbal
specification and visual observation are in fact two aspects/methods of
identification of a tangible fact of real existence, as denoted by
Arabic word
We have seen the descriptions in the Grand Qur'aan, made more than 1400 years back, about the Ears exactly corresponding to our knowledge in the 21st century. Should we not respond to this call: And it is a certain fact that We have since simplified/made easy the Grand Qur'aan for convenience of saving in memory, comprehension, understanding and recalling to narrate and taking lesson; therefore, is there one from amongst who consciously and purposely saves it in memory, comprehends, understands and recalls to mention/take lesson and admonition? [54:17] However, we should not expect that all will respond, because Grand Qur'aan tells us: [You relax, let them knowingly refrain from Qur'aan] It is a fact that only such of the people enable their selves to answer/respond [reasonably/rationally] who keep listening. [Refer 6:36]
The verbal data preserves in the memory if we consciously and attentively listen to the narrations, which enables its transmission for analysis/perception and storage in the memory. It happens only if the listener has such intention and desire [Same information in
26:05] They do not listen attentively whatever comes to them anew from the Zikr/Grand Qur'aan from their Sustainer Lord except that they deliberately listened it in a state of playful mood, [21:02][In conjunction read 6:04;36:46;45:09]
while their hearts are distracted and preoccupied in other trifle matters and thoughts. [Refer 21:03] Resultantly, the sounds of speech, which their Ears had collected and retained for few seconds, disintegrate from the Echoic memory. Therefore, only those can enable their selves to respond and answer the question who consciously keep listening. [Same information in same words in
10:42;47:16] And amongst them is one who [apparently/pretending] seems he is listening to you, the Messenger [Mohammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]. They are, however, in a state that We have let the veil persist on their hearts since they intend not to comprehend/perceive it/Grand Qur'aan which they pretend listening; and there persists a load/mass/heaviness within their ears. [Seems relevant to acoustic impedance-hindering low frequency sounds-speech] [Refer 6:25] The tympanic membrane of the Ears, of a man in such state, will not absorb the sound waves directed by his outer Ears and instead will reflect. Resultantly the membrane will not set in motion/vibration to transmit it onwards for ultimate analysis and storage in the memory. Such man’s depiction: And amongst them is one who [apparently/pretending] seems he is listening to you, the Messenger [Mohammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam],
until immediately after they departed from your presence, such said for/to those who were bestowed with knowledge, "What did he say just now?" [47:16]
