PAIN RECEPTORS PRESENT IN THE SKIN

PAIN RECEPTORS PRESENT IN THE SKIN

It was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was only dependent on the brain. Recent discoveries prove that there are pain receptors present in the skin without which a person would not be able to feel pain. When a doctor examines a patient suffering from burn injuries, he verifies the degree of burns by a pinprick. If the tolerant feels pain, the doctor is happy, because it indicates that the burns are outward and the pain receptors are intact. On the other hand if the patient does not feel any pain, it indicates that it is a deep burn and the pain receptors have been destroyed. The QURAN gives an indication of the survival of pain receptors in the following verse:
“Those who reject Our signs, We shall soon cast into the fire; As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.” [Al-QURAN 4:56]

Prof. Tagatat Tejasen, Chairman of the Department of Anatomy at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, has spent a great amount of time on research of pain receptors. Initially he could not believe that the QURAN mentioned this scientific fact 1,400 years ago. He later verified the translation of this particular QURAN verse. Prof. Tejasen was so impressed by the scientific accuracy of the QURAN verse, that at the 8th Saudi Medical Conference held in Riyadh on the Scientific Signs of QURAN and Sunnah he proclaimed in public: “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad (pbuh) is His Messenger.”
