The Pain Feelings
Allah, the Almighty, says: {Surely! Those who disbelieved in Our
Ayat "proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc".We shall burn them in Fire. As often as their skins are
roasted through, We shall change them for other skins that they may
taste the punishment. Truly, Allah is Ever Most Powerful,
All*Wise.}.

{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا
سَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِمْ نَارًا كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُم
بَدَّلْنَاهُمْ جُلُودًا غَيْرَهَا لِيَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ ۗ إِنَّ
اللَّـهَ كَانَ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا} [النساء:56]

Referring to the dwellers of the Fire, Almighty Allah also says:{…
and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their
intestines?} [Muhammad:15]
{مَّثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ
الْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ فِيهَا أَنْهَارٌ مِّن مَّاءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ
وَأَنْهَارٌ مِّن لَّبَنٍ لَّمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُهُ وَأَنْهَارٌ
مِّنْ خَمْرٍ لَّذَّةٍ لِّلشَّارِبِينَ وَأَنْهَارٌ مِّنْ عَسَلٍ

The Scientific Fact:
Before the age of scientific discovery, it was commonly believed
that the whole human body could feel pain. It was not until the
role of nerve endings in the skin were discovered, that people
learned about the existence of certain nerve endings which transmit
feelings of pain to the brain. The skin is associated with
sensitivity because it contains the majority of nerve
endings.
According to Dr. Head's
classification of the skin's sensitivity, there are two groups of
feelings:
1) Epictritic which senses
light things, like a light touch or a slight change in temperature;
and
2) Protopathic which feels pain
and considerable change in temperature.
Each of these categories uses certain nerve cells in addition to
other receptors for sensing any environmental change.
These receptors can be categorized
into four kinds:
1) Exteroceptors which are
concerned with the faculty of sense and touch and which contain
meissners and merkels corpuscles,
2) Krause End Bulbes which are
concerned with coldness,
3) Ruffini Cylinders which are
concerned with heat and
4) Nerve Endings that can
transmit any feeling of physical pain.
The skin is considered the part of the body that is rich with such
nerve endings that transmit heat and pain.
Anatomists have proved that people whose skin has been completely
burnt cannot feel pain because their nerve endings are damaged.
This is different from a person who has a second-degree burn, for
he will experience severe pain as his nerve endings are not
damaged, but are rather, uncovered.
Anatomists have also proved that the small intestines do not have
any receptors. However, receptors can be found between the
peritoneum and the outer layer of the intestines. This area
contains a lot of small bodies known as pacini. The size of the peritoneum is
20,400 cubic centimeters, which makes it equal to the size of the
outer layer of the skin. Also, the receptors of the intestines are
similar to those in the skin.
Facets of Scientific
Inimitability:
A) Almighty Allah explains to us in the first verse that the skin
is the part of the body that will receive the punishment, i.e.
there is a connection between the skin and the sensation of
pain.
The verse also tells us that when the skin is burnt (i.e. in the
Fire), man can no longer feel the pain of the punishment and so his
burnt skin is replaced with new fresh skin where the nerve endings
are functioning properly and can transmit the feeling of
pain.
In this way, a disbeliever will suffer due to his denial of Allah's
signs.
Modern science has shown us that the majority of nerve endings are
found in the skin. Prior to the invention of microscopes and the
progress made in the field of anatomy, no human being could have
any knowledge about this scientific fact related by the
Ever-Glorious Qur'an fourteen centuries ago.
This is a miracle and a great sign of Allah.
B) The Qur'an threatens the disbelievers in the second verse that
their intestines will be severed. The secret behind this threat has
been solved only recently when scientists discovered that the
intestines are not affected by heat. However, if they are severed,
the boiling water will flow out to the place between the peritoneum
and the outer layer of the intestines.
This place contains a lot of nerve endings that transmit the
feeling of pain to the brain and thus man will experience severe
pain.
These facts show the miraculous scientific nature of the
Ever-Glorious Qur'an which related these facts to mankind a long
time before modern science was able to give any information about
them
