In
history:
In
1823 scientist "Purkinje" had discovered the fact of
fingerprints. He found that the lines on the upper part of the
fingers vary from one person to another, and he found four types
of these lines: Arcs, circles,
knots
or structured shapes that consist of more than one shape.
In
1858, the English scientist, "William Herschell" had pointed to
the fact of different fingerprints for different owners, making it
a distinctive for each person. In 1877, Dr. Henry Faulds invented
the idea of putting fingerprint on paper using ink. In 1892, Dr.
Francis Galton proved that the image of a fingerprint live with
the person throughout his life not changed in spite of all what
could happen to him. Scientists have found that one Egyptian mummy
still has its own fingerprints clear and with no change.
In Quran:
The inimitability of
the Holy Qur’an is clarified when Allah refers, in the context of
debating with those who deny resurrection, to His ability to
replicate in perfect order the fingertips that distinguish every
person. Fingerprints that seems to those who know nothing, to be
too trivial to be mentioned in the Holy Qur’an are a proof of
Allah’s precise creation. Mentioning fingerprints, in particular,
in the Holy Qur’an refers to the knowledge of Allah, the source of
the Great Qur’an:
(Surah Al-Qiyamah –
Verses Nos. 3 - 4) tell us about this proof.
Verses meaning:
Does man (a
disbeliever) think that we shall not assemble his bones? Yes, we are
Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers.
