Number of human joints: prophet Mohammad scientific miracle

Number of human joints: prophet Mohammad scientific miracle

Abu Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Man has three
hundred and sixty joints. He has to give charity; one for each joint."
The people said: "O Allah's Prophet! Who can afford this?" He (peace be
upon him) said: "To bury the phlegm you find in the mosque or to remove
things (stones) from the path of the people. If you can not afford so,
it is sufficient to pray two rak´ahs of Duha."

The Scientific Fact: The joint is a point of articulation of two bones, a bone and
gristle, or two gristles in anypart of the human body.

The total number of joints, according to scientists, is:
1- Skull joints: 86
2- Throat joints: 6
3- Thorax joints: 66
4- Spine and Pelvis joints: 76
5- Upper limbs: 32 x 2 = 64
6- Lower limbs: 31 x 2= 62
Total number of joints: 360

Facets of Scientific Inimitability: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that the number of
joints in the human body is 360, although at that time it was impossible
to know such information, for most of the joints are very small and
hard to see with the naked eye. The exact number of joints was not
discovered until development in the fields of anatomy and histology.

Thus, the Prophet (peace be upon him) accurately pinpointed the number of
joints fourteen centuries ago while modern anatomy came to assert this
scientific fact only recently.
