Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh
“And said, ‘My Lord, my
bones have gone frail and my head is crowned with white, but in
calling on You, My Lord, I have never been disappointed’.” [Surah
Maryam, 4]
The Arabic word “wahana” in verse 4 of Surah
Maryam means “relaxed, weakened or insufficient.” The use of this
word in the context of aging and changes taking place in the bones is
most wise. Bone scanning performed taking detailed measurements using
modern technology makes it possible to image the disease known to the
medical world as “osteoporosis,” or bone loss.
Osteoporosis
is a metabolic disease that leads to a loss of bone mass. The word
osteoporosis come from the combination of the words osteo (bone) and
porosis (full of holes). Bone, which rather resembles a honey comb,
stores significant quantities of essential minerals such as calcium.
Bone mass begins to gradually decline from around the age of 40. In
its more advanced stages, this disease, which is mainly seen in the
elderly and manifests itself as a loss of bone tissue mass, leads to easy bone breakage.
Bearing in mind that x-rays were only
discovered in the 1890s, it is clear how difficult obtaining any
information regarding the bones would have been. The fact that the
Qur’an contains such information, which is in exact agreement with
modern medical science, is one of the clear signs that the Qur’an
has come down from the presence of Allah.
"Dijo: ¡Señor mío! Mis huesos se han debilitado y mi cabello ha encanecido y nunca, Señor, en lo que Te he pedido, he sido decepcionado." [Sura Maryam, 4]
La palabra Árabe "wahana" en el verso 4 de la Sura Maryam significa "relajado, debilitado o insuficiente". El uso de esta palabra en el contexto de envejecer y cambios que ocurren en los huesos es más sabio.
La gammagrafía ósea realizada tomando medidas detalladas utilizando la tecnología moderna hace posible la imagen de la enfermedad conocida en el mundo médico como "osteoporosis", o la pérdida de hueso.
La osteoporosis es una enfermedad metabólica que conduce a la pérdida de masa ósea. La palabra osteoporosis viene de la combinación de palabras "osteo" (hueso) y "porosis" (lleno de agujeros). Los huesos, que más bien se asemejan a un panal de miel,
almacena cantidades significativas de minerales esenciales como el calcio. La masa ósea comienza a disminuir gradualmente alrededor de los 40 años. En las etapas más avanzadas, esta enfermedad, que se observa principalmente en las personas de edad y se manifiesta como una pérdida de la masa de tejido óseo, conduce a la fácil rotura ósea.
