Fingerprint Uniqueness in Quran | Scientific Miracle
Quran 75:4 mentions Allah's ability to reconstruct fingertips—highlighting fingerprint uniqueness 1300 years before science.
Did You Know?
Quran 75:3-4 mentions Allah can reassemble even البنان 'al-banan' (the fingertips). Why fingertips specifically? Fingerprints are absolutely unique—no two people, even identical twins, have the same prints. Each fingertip is a person's ultimate identifier. Fingerprint uniqueness was scientifically proven by Francis Galton in 1892, 1,200+ years after the Quran.
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones? Yes. We are able even to proportion his fingertips.
Quran 75:3-4
Explanation
The Quran could have mentioned any body part to show resurrection power—heart, brain, eyes. But it chose البنان 'al-banan' (fingertips). Modern forensic science reveals this is the most unique part: fingerprints never repeat across billions of humans. They're formed in the womb and never change—the perfect identifier.
Scientific Details
The Science
Fingerprints form at 10-16 weeks in the womb | Remain unchanged for life | Absolutely unique—no duplicates ever found | Even identical twins have different prints
Historical Discovery
Sir Francis Galton scientifically proved fingerprint uniqueness in 1892. This led to modern forensic identification systems. Before this, no one knew fingertips were uniquely identifying.
