Assalam oalaikum
Allah (swt) says in the Holy Quran, ‘Those who reject our signs, we shall soon cast them into the fire as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins that they may taste the penalty: in Power, Wise’ (TMQ-4:56)
Till some time back it was believed that the sense of pain depended entirely on the brain. However, recent research shows that pain receptors are present in the skin without which one cannot feel the pain. For example, while treating patients suffering from burns the doctors examine the degree of the burn with a pinprick. If the pinprick is painful for the patient the doctor understands that the burns are superficial and the pain receptors are intact. On the other hand if the patient does not feel pain by the pinprick this shows that his or her pain receptors have been destroyed.
Thus, we find that the Holy Quran, being the Word of Allah (swt) gives us a clear sign about the presence of pain receptors in verse 4:56 almost 1400 years ago, when nobody could have had any idea about this fact. (Allah knows best)
