   Quran /16- The Bees AL NAHL Meccan/
 
Introduction
In The Name of Allah AL-Rahman and AL-Rahim (The Merciful) This Surah (Chapter) treats subjects centering on the Unity and the Oneness of Allah and His Omnipotence and Authority: Creation and Resurrection, heavens and earth rainwater and vegetal growth, the night, the day, the sun, the moon and the planets, the seas and the mountains, the paths and the rivers; all being represented as cosmic signs, emblematic of the Almightiness of Allah, the Creator, Who rendered them all subservient to man. Allah also inspired the bees to use the paths He has planned for them to get at the sources of the nectar as produced by the flowers and plants to obtain what is needful for their physiologic and normal function He inhered in them and to use the bee-line back home. So conditioned, Allah exacts obedience and adoration from the people with appropriate acts and rites and promises those who ponder His cause gardens of bliss and to those who deny Him, or incorporate with Him other deities, the torment laid upon the damned. Some people think that when an organ takes precedence, in order, in the Quran it means that it is more important than those that follow or that it functions before them. Reference here is made to V.78 and similar Verses in Surahs Nos. 17, 23, 32 and 67 Expressed in this sequence in the Arabic text, it is indeed more eloquent and rhetorical than when expressed in another way. However, when Allah execrates the infidels, He reverses or changes the order and states it in such a manner that is equally eloquent, (Surahs: Nos. 2,6,7,16,17,18, 22). Very briefly the facts are: The heart is first indicated on the 18th or 19th day. It starts pumping blood or functioning on the 21st day and attains the adult form in the 20th week. The Established Facts: Fact.1 - The eyes are first evident (or start to develop) on the 22nd day (normal length of gestation or pregnancy 40 wks or 280 days from the last menstrual period) and the ears on the 22 - 24th day. Fact.2 - Babies born at the 30th week (7th month) respond to light by a change in the size of the pupils of the eyes (Pupillary light reflex). And if the babe is born at the 35th week (8th month) he exhibits spontaneous orientation to light. Babes respond to auditory stimulation after the 34th week (8th month) by increased heart rate and body movements. Babes born at term Vision They see an object like a red ball by alerting with facial awakening and brightening of the eyes. They might also turn their eyes and heads if the object is moved slowly. This is because visual acuity does not start before the end of the first month. Hearing Babes are usually asleep at this stage most of the time. However, they respond to auditory stimulation (like noise) by eye blinking, startling, body movements and change in rate of respiration and heart rate. After the third month of age, both hearing and vision improve remarkably. When we consider the heart as the seat of ones inmost thoughts and secret feelings, then we come to «realization» or the action of forming a clear and distinct concept, thinking, understanding, the use of the mind and so on This means that knowledge and experience are needed which in turn engage the three faculties combined or at least two of them; more so the sight. Conclusion: Heart first, then vision and hearing go hand is hand that is they develop and function about the same time. And if one has to choose between losing hearing or sight he would rather lose his hearing not his sight. Life in the womb: the ear plug remains until 26th week. And the fused eyelids, at about the same time. Therefore, if the baby in the womb hears or sees, so to speak, it is a reflection of what the mother hears and sees, be it pleasurable or inducing fear and mental pain. The effect is transmitted by her hormones in the blood. *see V.37, C.18
