The Noble Quran on the Cerebrum: Lying is generated from the person's forehead.

The following article was taken from:

Lying and deception are generated from the forehead:

Noble Verse(s) 96:15-96:16

Shakir:

[096:015] Nay! if he desist not, We ~~would~~ will certainly smite his forehead,

[096:016] A lying, sinful forehead.

Transliteration:

[096:015] Kalla la-in lam yantahi lanasfaAAan bialnnasiyati

[096:016] Nasiyatin kathibatin khati-atin

الناصية (al-naasiyah): the forehead.

قال الفراء في قوله تعالي" لنسفعن بالناصيه" ناصيته مقدمه راسه

The Furaa' said that in Allah Almighty's Noble Verse " لنسفعن بالناصيه" (we will certainly smite his forehead), ناصيته HIS NAASIYAH is the forehead.

قال الازهري: الناصيه عند العرب منبت الشعر في مقدمه الراس

The Azhari said: THE NAASIYAH الناصيه to the Arabs (of old) is the place where the hair grows on the beginning of the head (i.e., the forehead).

cortex. The prefrontal area is located at the front of the cerebral
cortex. (Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Seeley and others, p. 210.)

The Wisdom of the age of 40 in the Noble Quran, which had been Scientifically and Psychologically proven to be True. See why Allah Almighty is more forgiving to those who are under the age of 40, and how Science and Psychology proved that people under 40 are less mature and tend to make more irresponsible decisions (i.e., mistakes and sins).

One main reason is that the brain's "Frontal Cortex", which is also called "The Voice of Reason", develops last. The brain takes a very long time to develop Myelin, which is a protective natural insulation that the body builds for its cells. The brain not only doesn't complete developing Myelin for its cells until the late 20s or even past 30s, but it develops Myelin for the Frontal Cortex last! This is where people might appear to be physically built and mature, while their brains are still underdeveloped:

Why did the Quran describe the front of the head as being lying and sinful? Why didn�t the Quran say that the person was lying and sinful? What is the relationship between the front of the head and lying and sinfulness?

If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the cerebrum (see figure 12). What does physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology says about this area, �The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex...� [1] Also the book says, �In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression....� [2]

So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and initiating good and sinful behavior and is responsible for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. Thus, it is proper to describe the front of the head as lying and sinful when someone lies or commits a sin, as the Quran has said, �...A lying, sinful naseyah (front of the head)!�

Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years, according to Professor Keith L. Moore. [3]

God has said in the Quran about one of the evil unbelievers who forbade the Prophet Muhammad

from praying at the Kaaba:

No! If he does not stop, We will take him by the naseyah (front of the head), a lying, sinful naseyah (front of the head)! (Quran, 96:15-16)
