THE 360 JOINTS

• Beside from the beautiful teachings about Worshiping the One True Living GOD Almighty and removing obstacles from the paths of people, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him made a very important scientific claim, and that is: Our human bodies have 360 joints in them.

• Prior to 1995 it was thought that there are 340 joints in the human body. In 1995 a scientific institute proved that the internal ear consists of 10 joints each. Thus 20 joints were added and the discovery was made that the human body consists of 360 joints. Please refer to any medical encyclopedia on this.

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said :

Every one of the children of Adam has been created with three hundred and sixty joints; so he who declares the Glory of Allah, praises Allah, declares Allah to be One, Glorifies Allah, and seeks forgiveness from Allah, and removes stone, or thorn, or bone from people's path, and enjoins what is good and forbids from evil, to the number of those three hundred and sixty-four, will walk that day having removed himself from Hell.

ALSO  he said :

A human being has three hundred and sixty joints for each of which he must give alms. The people asked him: Who is capable of doing this? He replied: It may be mucus in the mosque which you bury, and something which you remove from the road; but if you do not find such, two rak'ahs in the forenoon will be sufficient for you.

The Scientific Fact:

The joint is a point of articulation of two bones, a bone and gristle, or two gristles in any part 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

They are really 360 joints..........how did he know that?
