Keywords:
neuro-theology, Quran, brain lobes, memory, neurosciences, human psychologyAbstract
In the last decades, Quran and science has attracted a huge body of research and neuro-theology is a modern interdisciplinary field aimed to study brain in religious and spiritual experiences. As a multidisciplinary field neuro-theology combines distinct approaches and theoretical frameworks from Quran, religious studies, philosophy, neuroscience, and cognitive science. The human brain is the great sign among the signs of God that indicates His magnificence. The scientific studies are resplendent with Quranic signs about the realities of human brain. The purpose of this study is to provides a vital link to understand the human brain through Quranic verses and scientific findings. This paper will try to come up with some of the best Quranic testimonials both in Arabic and English translation as a testimony to the fact to prove the correlation between both. The study could be divided into certain sub headings with a conclusion at the end.
