 :Perception and meanings; Ear has its own memory.

 

  • It is a fact that Our Majesty has created the Man, the living humanity, in his present state from a sub-set of one sperm. Its: sperm's characteristic feature is that it is a set of gathering -concentration of multiple clusters of pairs (called chromosomes in biology).
  • Purposely, Our Majesty keeps subjecting the Man to exposure trials. Therefore, We have rendered him a listening - acoustic and observing - optical person. [76:02]

At nine weeks, the embryo's ballooning brain allows it to bend its body, hiccup, and react to loud sounds. At week ten, it moves its arms, "breathes" amniotic fluid in and out, opens its jaw, and stretches. Before the first trimester is over, it yawns, sucks, and swallows, as well as feels and smells. By the end of the second trimester, it can hear; toward the end of pregnancy, it can see. [Fetal Psychology]. In the same order words are mentioned.

The Ears are the organ that enable listening:

  • Moreover ears are inserted for them; but they do not apprehensively listen with them. [Ref 7:179]

Not anything of the shape of an ear is an ear since it cannot facilitate the listening. Idols/statues apparently have ears but:

  • Or such ears have they created for them: statues with which they are capable to listen? [Ref 7:195]

The sculpted statues, whom some people worship, do have an organ resembling the shape of an ear. However, the genuine ear has three parts. The outer ear collects sounds from the outer world and forwards them to the middle ear, which reinforces the sound vibrations reaching it and transmits them to the inner ear. The inner ear then sends them to the brain by turning them into electrical signals according to their intensity and frequency. After visiting several places in the brain, the messages are finally transmitted to the hearing center where these signals are processed and interpreted, and the process of listening finally takes place.

One of the most surprising things is the speed at which the 20,000 micro-hairs in the channels in the ear react. The middle channel vibrates at 256 times a second. The channel immediately above it vibrates at 512 times a second, and the channel above that, at 1,024 times. The micro-hairs’ efficiency in analyzing such fast vibrations allows us to distinguish with great sensitivity the sounds reaching the ears. This constitutes one of the most sensitive and rapid reactions in the body.

Even during sleep the ear functions with incredible efficiency. Because the brain can interpret and select signals passed to it by the ear, a man can sleep soundly through noisy traffic and the blaring of a neighbor's television set and then awaken promptly at the gentle urging of a chime alarm clock." (Stevens S.S. [Professor of Psychophysics, Harvard University] & Warshofsky, Fred [science writer], "Life Science Library, Time-Life Books: Alexandria VA, Revised Edition, p.38)

The Grand Qur'aan mentions information about this phenomenon in the Episode of some young Believers/Muslims who had run away from their locality and taken refuge in the Cave.

  • Thereupon, We struck a veil-partition-barrier upon their Ears-listening faculty in the Cave for a number of years. [18:11]

The object of the transitive verb is omitted which was made to emerge. [The soundproofing object seems something invisible] However, the perception is quite vivid by the indication of the affected area upon which it emerged, i.e. "upon the Ears of them". The physical state of those young men is videoed in these picturesque words:

  • And you would have deemed them awake but the fact is they were fast asleep; [Refer 18:18]

 

The nature of their sleep also finds mention:

  • [like state of coma for which reason] And We kept turning them on their right and left sides. [Refer 18:18]

Allah the Exalted is always mindful of the wellbeing of people. Medical experts might appreciate the consequence if their sides were not kept turning during long period of their remaining in such deep sleep.

Listening could become meaningful only when the stated thing has been interpreted and stored in the memory. About the Ears, Grand Qur'aan has also given this information:

  • So that We may make that happening-episode for you people a message-memory-narrative;

  • And so that the ears having characteristic of  acting as retainer-receptacle may remember-retain it. [69:12]

[فعل مضارع منصوب بأن مضمرة] Verb: Imperfect; third person; singular; feminine; Mood: Subjunctive; [ ضميرمتصل  فى محل نصب مفعول به مقدم]  Fronted Object Pronoun: Third person; singular; feminine, in accusative state, with prolongation sign;  مصدر وَعْىٌ Verbal Noun.(1)69:12=1

Adjectival Phrase: Noun: Indefinite; plural; masculine; nominative. (1)9:61(2)69:12=2

{اسم فاعل} Active participle; indefinite; plural; feminine; nominative;  مصدر وَعْىٌ Verbal Noun. (1)69:12=1

Both the words are from Root "و  ع  ى". The basic perception infolded is to "keep or retain". is a receptacle for retaining things. An ear acts as receptacle for retaining, it has its own memory, retaining place.

This fact became known and was recognized in 1960:

American psychologist George Sperling demonstrated the existence of sensory memory in an experiment in 1960. Sensory memory systems typically function outside of awareness and store information for only a very short time. Iconic memory seems to last less than a second. Echoic memory probably lasts a bit longer; estimates range up to three or four seconds. Usually sensory information coming in next replaces the old information. For example, when we move our eyes, new visual input masks or erases the first image. The information in sensory memory vanishes unless it captures our attention and enters working memory. Roediger, Henry L. "Memory (psychology)." Microsoft® Encarta® 2006 [DVD]. Redmond, WA: Microsoft Corporation, 2005. {Quoted with thanks}

The fact about existing realities is that not all are visible to human naked eye. The Primal Creator, or the knowledgeable-observant-scientist, conveys the knowledge about certain realities, not apparent to human eye, with the help of metaphors. The description of the invisibly existing reality through metaphors enables a person to have its general and broader perception-image  by relating it to the verbal picturing of characteristic features of the metaphor.

  • We will henceforth keep visually exposing Our tangible-physical realities prevalent in the Universe-horizons and in their own bodies to the eyes of those who do not accept the Qur'aan.

  • The purpose of this visual manifestation is that it might become self manifest for them that Qur'aan is Infallible Doctrine-Discourse of Reality-Profitability and substance of permanence.

  • [Reverting to their conduct] Do you think that your Sustainer Lord has not yet been considered to suffice as ultimate observer?

  • The fact is that He the Exalted  is the One and only Who is the Observer-the Omnipresent upon every thing/whole time and space. [41:53]

Grand Qur'aan has informed that Allah the Exalted will keep bringing to human visual access, the knowledge about universe and human body, whereby the fact that Grand Qur'aan is a Statement of Proven Fact/absolute reality might become self manifest to the people who keep denying it. Why a first time observation of hitherto unseen thing manifests that the Qur'aan is a statement of proven fact? This is possible only if the same thing finds verbal mirroring of it in the Qur’aan. Verbal specification and visual observation are two aspects of identification of a tangible fact of real existence, as denoted by Arabic word: . The visual observation of an earlier unseen fact will manifest a book written earlier in time as the Book of Facts which contains its verbal presentation. This will establish that the Book really contains verbal statements of physical/scientific facts and is not conjectural, hypothetical and presumptive in its contents..

We have seen the descriptions in the Grand Qur'aan, made more than 1400 years back,  about the Ears exactly corresponding to our knowledge in the 21st century. Should we not respond to this call:

  • Know the certain fact: We have simplified-rendered the Grand Qur'aan easy, open and facilitative for reading, comprehension and saving in memory to recall, take lesson and to relate.

  • Thereat, is there one who consciously and purposely saves it in memory, comprehends and recalls to mention-takes lesson and admonition? [54:17]

However, we should not expect that all will respond, because Grand Qur'aan tells us:

  • [You relax, let them knowingly refrain from Qur'aan] It is a fact that only such people reasonably-rationally answer-respond who listens comprehensibly.  [Refer 6:36]

  Verb: Imperfect; third person; singular; masculine; Mood: Indicative; [Form-X];  مصدر-اِسْتِجَابَةٌ- Verbal noun. Its Root is "ج و ب" and the basic perception infolded in it is to cut something/portion from the whole; to make hole or tore something, perforate, pierce, and carve or to excavate. It also signifies to answer or respond to others. How do we answer? What is the mechanism involved? We, in fact, cut and retrieve the data from the memory when we intend to answer to others. The perception infolded in Arabic Roots remains dominant in the perception and meanings of the words derived from them. The Arabic Roots verbally mirror the physical/scientific realities relating to both matter and life. For answering, we need to cut data from the memory.

The verbal data preserves in the memory if we consciously and attentively listen to the narrations. It enables its transmission for analysis/perception and storage in the memory. It happens only if the listener has such intention and desire

  • The subjection to their accountability has come nearer in time for the people. Despite its nearing, they are yet in heedlessness; they are deliberately overlooking - disregarding. [21:01]

  • They do not listen except hearing in a playful mood whatever warning - information comes to their notice anew quoted from the Reminder- Admonishment: Grand Qur'aan received from their Sustainer Lord. [21:02]

  • Their hearts are distracted and preoccupied in other trifle matters and thoughts. [Refer 21:03]

Resultantly, the sounds of speech which their ears had collected and retained for few seconds disintegrated from the Echoic memory. Therefore, only those can enable their selves to respond and answer the question who consciously listen.

  • Know it; Some amongst them pretends he is attentively listening to you the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam].

  • And We have declared the veils upon their hearts as protection that they might comprehend it: Grand Qur'aan. And it is as if a heavy load is deposited within their ears: acoustic impedance is persisting in their ears.

  • Take note, if they see every Ayah-unprecedented display; they will not accept and believe in it.

  • Despite this when they have come to you; they wrangle with you for it.

  • Those who have refused to accept they say to people:

  • "This: Qur'aan is nothing but compilation of the tales of ancients." [6:25]

The tympanic membrane of the Ears of a man in such state will not absorb the sound waves directed by his outer Ears and instead will reflect. Resultantly the membrane will not set in motion/vibration to transmit it onwards for ultimate analysis and storage in the memory. Such man’s depiction:

  • Know it; Some of them pretend attentively listening to you the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]

  • Until immediately after they had departed from your place;

  • They asked with wrinkled nose those bestowed with knowledge, "What has he said?"

  • They are the people Allah the Exalted has let the veil persist upon their hearts;

  • And they have consciously made themselves follow their own lusts and conjectures. [47:16]
