نقد قرآن

The purpose of religious doubts is to prove the conflict between medical findings and religious teachings. In this context, a book entitled "Criticism of the Qur'an" has been published, in which the author, in part of the second chapter, criticizes the verses of the Holy Qur'an that attribute wisdom to the heart, and citing the wisdom of Nahjal Balagha 105, he claims that because in the past, human beings did not know What is the brain inside the skull? This medical mistake entered the Quran from the environment. This research intends to criticize the claims made.

This research was done by descriptive-analytical method and relying on library documents. The research method in this study is content analysis.

In the Holy Qur'an, when talking about reasoning and understanding facts by the heart, it does not mean the heart of the flesh. Rather, it means the speaking soul, which can be the origin of human traits and characteristics.

Knowing the functioning of the brain was obvious in the past, and the instrumental role of the brain in reasoning and thinking is also mentioned in the narrations. In confirmation of the provisions contained in Hikmat 105, new evidences of the functions of the heart in transmitting certain emotions have been discovered. Also, the speaking soul of a human being is called "heart" when the word of truth affects it and turns it upside down.

Throughout the centuries and eras, human beings have always sought to know the world around them and, consequently, to find the way to the depths of their existential nature. The Holy Quran has paid attention to this important matter as an eternal divine miracle and has been considered by scholars of different sciences as a reliable source. Despite all these advances in the experimental sciences, so far only parts of the miracles and scientific secrets of the Qur'an have been discovered for humanity. Despite the astonishment of experimental scientists in the deep scientific content of the Qur'an, throughout history, some people with specific goals have sought to cast doubt on the divine revelations. The focus of this article, which is based on content analysis method and using organized library studies, is to answer three of the doubts raised in the book "Critique of the Qur'an" about the stages of fetal development, using Qur'anic verses. One of the most important results of this article is that the suspicions created by Suha (the author of the book) have fundamental problems and the medical content in the Qur'an is consistent with the findings of modern sciences.
