Fingerprint Mystery

Finger prints have been described in the great book Al-Quran fourteen and a half years ago. When this verse of the Qur’an was revealed:
اَيَحْسَبُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَلَّنْ نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهٗؕ
“Does man think that I cannot assemble his bones?”
“Then the disbelievers started laughing at this verse. Believers argue about the resurrection after death, and how the bones of the dead can be identified separately on Judgment Day after being dismembered. God can understand which of the bones? This is by no means possible.” Then Allah said to them:
بَلٰى قٰدِرِيْنَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهٗ
“Rather, I am able to shape his fingerprints” (Surah Qiyamah: 3-4).
There have been no two identical sets of fingerprints found among the millions of fingerprints collected and analysed! Even identical twins have distinctive fingerprints, believe it or not. This is why criminals are identified via fingerprints. A book published in 1788 by J.C.A. Mayer, a German doctor, was the first to state that fingerprints are unique. He also used drawings of fingerprint patterns to support this claim. As people get older, their appearance may change – hair may turn gray or white or fall out, and the shape of the face might change. People grow mustaches or change hairstyles to alter their appearance. But one thing that does not change is their fingerprint pattern. The fingerprints stay the same for whole life.
