Abstract

All over the world, values of people are increasingly deteriorating due to the modern life systems caused by ongoing advancement of science and technologies. This systematic study was conducted to analyze the nature of our trial by integrating the exposition of the Qur'an, Ahadith, and signs of Allah (S.W.T) in ourselves revealed to us through biomedical sciences. Data were collected from Qur’an and six canonical books of ahadith collection of Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a and published studies screened from MEDLINE, EMBASE & SCOPUS. Qur’anic data were analyzed by Thematic Approach [Uslub Tafsir Al-Maudhu’i] and Synoptic Approach [Uslub Tafsir Ijmali]. The findings show that our trial is governed by four things: ruh, heart, ears, and eyes. The ruh is an agent with heavenly origin installed with a desire to remember Allah (S.W.T); while the heart, ears, and eyes have an earthly origin, created from dust and water. However, despite its earthly origin, the heart is a controlling center of our trial; because it occupies the midst position; connecting in terms of communication, between the ruh and body. The ruh stress its desire to the body via the heart, and the information about the words and deeds of the body are communicated to the ruh via the heart; while the main gates of information to the heart are ears and eyes. The quality of the ruh will depend on quantity and quality of the information sent to the heart. These findings may add value to the existing efforts of dealing with moral deterioration.

Abstract

This was a systematic study design conducted to unravel the implications of the parable: and if the fly snatches away a thing from them, they will have no power to release it from the fly (Qur’an, 22:73). Famous tafseers of Qur’an were used to provide the preliminary interpretation of this verse and the link between this parable to the findings in biomedical sciences. Data concerning what have been implicated in this parable were screened from online biomedical databases such as PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Keywords words and keywords combination used were: fly, house fly, feeding mode of house fly, digestion of house fly, house fly as vectors, house fly + disease transmission, and diseases caused by house fly. Only articles related to fly’s feeding, digestion, harboring and transmission of diseases; that were published from 2000 onwards, were selected. More than 100 articles were collected, and Thematic analysis method was used to disclose how the wording of the Qur’an in this parable have traversed the findings in the biomedical sciences. Finally, 40 articles were selected. The findings show that there are two things that a fly can snatches from us; that we will have no power to get them back from it: (1) food, (2) health and life. For the food, they don’t take solid food, rather, they dissolve it before ingestion, then they absorb its liquid. For health and life, they harbor more than 100 pathogens; and transmit more than 100 diseases, that have led to a very great burden of hospitalization, disabilities and loss of lives. This review study may lead to contemplation that will increase faith. It may also help the idol worshippers to abandon their false deities, and turn towards Allah (S.W.T).
