The whitening of the eye from sorrow is mentioned
in the Noble Quran and confirmed by Science!

The sections of this article are:

1-  The Noble Quran's Divine Claims.
2-  The
Scientific Discoveries.
3-  Conclusion.

1-  The
Noble Quran's Divine Claims:

The Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and
notions.  These are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created
things on earth and in the Universe.  What's most amazing is that all of
these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day
scientific discoveries.  Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet
Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for
Prophethood.  The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years
ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does
again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science
and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.

Allah Almighty Said: "We
will soon show them Our signs in the
Universe and inside their
selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the
truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all
things?  (The Noble Quran,
41:53)"

As I was reading my Precious Holy Quran, I stumbled upon Noble
Verse 12:84 and felt that there was indeed a Great Scientific
Statement in this Precious and Holy Noble Verse.  It reads:

‏12:84 وتولى عنهم وقال يااسفي
على يوسف وابيضت عيناه من
الحزن فهو كظيم

"And He turned away from them, saying, "I am
grieving over Joseph." His eyes turned white FROM grieving so much; he was
truly sad.
(The Noble Quran, 12:84)"

Notice how Allah Almighty Said that Jacob's eyes turned white due
to his grieve over the loss of Joseph, peace be upon both of them.

Allah Almighty also Said about the Noble Quran:

‏17:82 وننزل من القران ماهو شفاء ورحمة للمؤمنين ولايزيد الظالمين الا خسارا

"We send down (stage by stage) in the Quran that which
is a healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it
causes nothing but loss after loss.  (The Noble
Quran, 17:82)"

‏41:44 ولو جعلناه قرانا اعجميا
لقالوا لولا فصلت اياته ءاعجمي وعربي قل هو للذين امنوا هدى
وشفاء والذين لايؤمنون في اذانهم وقر وهو عليهم عمى اولئك ينادون من
مكان بعيد

"Had We sent this as a Quran (in the language)
other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in
detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say: "It
is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe
not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes):
They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!"  (The Noble Quran, 41:44)"

2-  The Scientific Discoveries:

The following scientific articles clearly and indisputably confirm
Allah Almighty's Holy and Divine Statement in Noble Verse 12:84:

Article #1:

"

An
international patent for Quranic eye drops !

Inspired by the shirt of
Yousof  (Joseph), an Egyptian Moslem scientist, unprecedently, managed to
manufacture an eye drop to treat the cataract. How?

Allah the Almighty describes
Jacob: “And he turned away from them, and said, ‘Ah, how
great is my grief for Joseph.’  And his eyes turned white because of the
sorrow that he chocked within him.” (12: 84)

( وتولى عنهم وقال يا
أسفي على يوسف وابيضت عيناه من الحزن فهو كظيم ( يوسف (84)

Whiteness,
which is termed as cataract, affecting the eye is the opacity of the
eye lens that prevents, partially or totally, the entry of light into the eye
according to the degree of opacity.

Causes of Cataract:

1-
A direct trauma to the eye lens.
2-  High temperature.
3-     Different types of radiation or flaring light, causing what is termed
“radiation cataract”.

4-
Opacity due to senile cataract, and diabetes mellitus that
increases the concentration of fluids around the lens and absorbs its fluid,

causing the presence of cataract rapidly.

5-
Severe grief causes
the increase of adrenalin hormone which in turn causes increase of blood sugar,
which is one of the opacity causes
in addition to coincidence of
grieving with weeping.

What Prophet Yousof (PBUH) did,
through a revelation from Allah, was that he asked his brothers to take the
shirt of healing to their father: “Go, take this shirt, and do you cast
it on my father’s face , and he shall recover his sight; then bring me your
family altogether.” (12: 93)

(إذهبوا
بقميصي هذا قألقوه على وجه أبي يأت بصيرا وأتوني بأهلكم أجمعين) يوسف 93

“So, when the caravan set
forth, their father ( Jacob ) said, ‘surely I perceive
Yousof’s scent, unless you think me doting’. They said; ‘By Allah, you are
certainly in your ancient error.’ But when the bearer of good tidings
came  to him, and laid it (Yousof's shirt) on his face, forthwith he saw
once again.  He said; ‘Did I not tell you I know from Allah that you know
not?’ (12: 94-96)

(ولما فصلت العير قال
أبوهم إني لأجد ريح يوسف لولا أن تفندون * قالوا تالله إنك لفي ضلالك القديم * فلما
أن جاء البشير ألقاه على وجهه فارتد بصيرا قال ألم أقل لكم إني أعلم من الله ما لا
تعلمون) يوسف 96:94

Hence is the beginning and the
guidance!

What healing could be there in the
shirt of the Prophet, Yousof ?

After meditation, the Egyptian
Moslem scientist, Dr. Abdul Basit Sayed Mohammed, did not find except
sweat.  He began to search the components of sweat. He immersed lenses
extracted from traditional surgeries of cataract in the sweat.  He found
out that a state of gradual transparency is established in these opaque
lenses.

The second question was: are all
sweat components effective in such a case or is it only one of its
components?  He later realized that one of its main components was the
urea (Goandin), and which could be chemically prepared.

Results of investigations on 250
volunteers revealed removal of cataract and restoration of sight for more than
90%.

So, inspired by the Surat of
Yousof, the Moslem scientist  Dr. Abdul Basit Sayed Mohammed of
the National Centre of Researches in Egypt was able to manufacture an eye drop
to treat the cataract, and obtained two international patents: The European
International Patent in 1991, and the American Patent in 1993.

Allah the Almighty said;
“And We send down, of the Quran, that which is a healing and a mercy to
the believers.” (Israa/82)

(
وننزل من القرآن
ما هو شفاء ورحمة للمؤمنين)  الإسراء 82

Article #2:

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract:

(Notice how the Persians thought that cataract
happens from
superstitious reasons, while the Noble Quran
Stated that it happens from a confirmed medical reason.  Also, we do
not know if the Persians thought of this before or after
Islam.)

(Click to enlarge)

"A cataract is a clouding that
develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in
degree from slight to complete opacity and obstructing the passage
of light. Early in the development of age-related cataract the power of the lens
may be increased, causing near-sightedness (myopia), and the gradual yellowing
and opacification of the lens may reduce the perception of blue colours.
Cataracts typically progress slowly to cause vision loss and are potentially
blinding if
untreated.[1]

A senile cataract, occurring in the aged, is
characterized by an initial opacity in the lens, subsequent swelling of the lens
and final shrinkage with complete loss of transparency.[2] Moreover, with time the cataract cortex
liquefies to form a milky white fluid in a Morgagnian cataract,
which can cause severe inflammation if the lens capsule ruptures and leaks.
Untreated, the cataract can cause phacomorphic glaucoma. Very
advanced cataracts with weak zonules are liable to dislocation
anteriorly or posteriorly. Such spontaneous posterior dislocations (akin to the
historical surgical procedure of couching) in ancient times were
regarded as a blessing from the heavens, because some perception of light was
restored in the cataractous patients.

Cataract derives from the Latin cataracta meaning
"waterfall" and the Greek kataraktes and
katarrhaktes, from katarassein meaning "to dash down"
(kata-, "down"; arassein, "to strike, dash"[3]).
As rapidly running water turns
white, the term may later have been used metaphorically to describe the similar
appearance of mature ocular opacities. In Latin, cataracta
had the alternate meaning "portcullis",[4] so it
is also possible that the name came about through the sense of "obstruction".
Early Persian physicians called the term nazul-i-ah, or 'descent of the
water' - vulgarised into waterfall disease or cataract - believing such
blindness to be caused by an outpouring of corrupt humour into the
eye.[5] In dialect English a cataract is called a
pearl, as in "pearl eye" and "pearl-eyed".[6]

(Again, notice how the Persians thought that
cataract happens from
superstitious reasons, while the Noble Quran
Stated that it happens from a confirmed medical reason.  Also, we do
not know if the Persians thought of this before or after
Islam.)

Causes

Cataracts develop from a variety of reasons, including
long-term exposure to ultraviolet light, exposure to radiation, secondary
effects of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and advanced age, or trauma (possibly much earlier); they are
usually a result of denaturation of lens
protein.
Genetic factors
are often a cause of congenital cataracts and positive
family history may also play a role in predisposing someone to cataracts at an
earlier age, a phenomenon of "anticipation" in pre-senile cataracts. Cataracts
may also be produced by eye injury or physical trauma. A study among Icelandair pilots showed commercial
airline pilots as three times more likely to develop cataracts than people with
non-flying jobs. This is thought to be caused by excessive exposure to radiation
coming from outer space.[7]
Cataracts are also unusually common in persons exposed to infrared radiation,
such as glassblowers who suffer from
"exfoliation syndrome". Exposure to microwave radiation can cause cataracts.
Atopic or allergic conditions are also known to quicken the progression of
cataracts, especially in children.[8]

Cataracts may be partial or complete, stationary or
progressive, hard or soft.

Some drugs can induce cataract development, such as
Corticosteroids[9] and
Ezetimibe[citation needed] and Seroquel.

There are various types of cataracts, e.g. nuclear,
cortical, mature, and hypermature. Cataracts are also classified by their
location, e.g. posterior (classically due to steroid use[9][10]) and
anterior (common (senile) cataract related to aging).

3-  Conclusion:

Again, the Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and
notions.  These are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created
things on earth and in the Universe.  What's most amazing is that all of
these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day
scientific discoveries.  Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet
Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for
Prophethood.  The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years
ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does
again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science
and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.

Allah Almighty's Divine Claim in Noble Verse 12:84 is in perfect harmony with Science.  Jacob's
grief over losing Joseph caused for his eyes to whiten by Allah Almighty's
Divine Wisdom and Will.  It seems that either no one knew or little knew,
who were far and remote from Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, of this
Scientific fact.  Yet, we find it in the Noble Quran.

Also, according to the Wikipedia.org article above, we do not know
if the Persians had their superstitious thought before or after Islam.  And
while they thought of the whiteness of the eye superstitiously, Islam came
and confirmed that it is due to medical and psychological reasons.
Notice again the green-colored text in the Noble
Verse:

‏12:84 وتولى عنهم وقال يااسفي
على يوسف وابيضت عيناه من
الحزن فهو كظيم

"And He turned away from them, saying, "I am
grieving over Joseph." His eyes turned white FROM grieving so much; he
was truly sad.
(The Noble Quran, 12:84)"

And even if the Noble Quran's information existed before Islam,
then to me, this could very well be a remnant of Divine
Truth from previous Divine Revelations that Allah Almighty Decided to
Preserve and Confirm in the Holy Quran.

Indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty alone for
making the Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for us humans,
out of all of His Divine Miracles!  And may Allah Almighty send His Peace,
Mercy and Blessings upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role
Model, Muhammad.  Ameen.
