أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُ ۥ (٣
بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُ ۥ (٤
"Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? (3) Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order to the very tips of his fingers (4)"
-Surah Al-Qiyamah: verse 3-4
Unbelievers argue regarding resurrection taking place after bones of dead people have disintegrated in the Earth and how each individual will be identified on the Day of Judgement.Allah answers that he can not only assemble our bones, but can also reconstruct perfectly our very fingertips.
But why Al-Quran specifically talk about out fingertips, while speaking about determination of identity of the individual?
In 1880, fingerprinting became the scientific method of identification, after research by Sir Francis Golt. And it is found no two person in this world can ever have exactly the same fingerprint pattern. That is why police forces worldwide have been using fingerprints to identify criminals for the past 1400 years.
Who could have known the uniqueness of each human's fingerprint? Surely it could have been none other than the Creator Himself! Subhanallah.
