Dj Vu in Science and Al-Quran Perspectives
Associate Professor Dr. Norsiah Fauzan delves into the intriguing phenomenon of Dj Vu, exploring its meanings and occurrences from both scientific and Islamic viewpoints. The concept is dissected through personal experiences, scientific explanations, and connections to temporal-lobe epilepsy, shedding light on the complex nature of this intriguing occurrence.

Soalan Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan D j Vu?
pasted-image.tiff Jawapan D j vu The term d j vu is French and means literally, "already seen". Those who have experienced the feeling describe overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn't be familiar at all. it as an For example, you are having a dinner with some best friends. It seems as if you have been in that very spot before out of sudden. Totally the same as if it is the second time with the same person, place, time and meals.
Soalan Menurut doktor secara peribadi, adakah doktor pernah mengalami d j vu dan adakah ia benar-benar terjadi?
Jawapan Ya, saya pernah mengalaminya. D j Vu adalah benar kerana minda sedar seseorang manusia berfungsi pada kadar 10%. Selebihnya, ia berada dalam keadaan bawah sedar iaitu 90%. Terdapat bahagian otak yang menjalankan fungsi D j Vu. Saya berada dalam kuliah Introduction to Cognitive Science. Saya menyebut tajuk bab Cognitive Psychology. Apabila seorang siswi mengangkat tangan lalu membetulkan saya, saya terdiam. Setelah otak saya memproses mengenai perkara mengenangkan D j Vu yang telah terjadi. Perkara itu sebenarnya berlaku sebelum saya mengajar di kelas Cognitive Psychology. tersebut, saya tertawa Maka, d j vu boleh berlaku secara sedar dan tidak sedar.
Soalan Apakah yang menyebabkan ia berlaku daripada sudut islamik dan saintifik?
pasted-image.tiff D j Vu in Science and al-Quran Perspectives Swiss scholar, Arthur Funkhouser suggests that there are several "d j experiences" and asserts that in order to better study the phenomenon, the nuances between the experiences need to be noted. In the examples mentioned above, Funkhouser would describe the first incidence as d j visite ("already visited") and the second as d j vecu ("already experienced or lived through"). Scientist in the UK, Perry P. (2017) identified d j vu as our brain trying to piece together a situation on limited information. A third states that it is a misfiring in the parts of the brain that recall memory and decipher sensory input. Sensory information, rather than taking the proper channels, leaks out of the short-term memory and into the long-term one. In this way, current experiences seem to be connected to the past. D j vu has been firmly associated with temporal-lobe epilepsy. Reportedly, d j vu can occur just prior to a temporal-lobe seizure. People suffering a seizure of this kind can experience d j vu during the actual seizure activity or in the moments between convulsions.

A miscommunication between these areas might cause that feeling of false memory. Halgren et al. (Brain 1978; 101: 83 117) showed that the dreamy state can be evoked by stimulation of the hippocampal formation and amygdala and Gloor (Brain 1990; 113: 1673 94) has suggested that it is evoked by lateral stimulation only when the resulting after-discharge spreads medially. In order to resolve the relative importance of these areas, we considered the mental phenomena observed in epileptic patients with electrodes stereotaxically implanted into different brain areas for seizure localization prior to surgical treatment. 16 patients, all with seizures involving the temporal lobe, experienced the dreamy state either as a result of spontaneous seizures (nine dreamy states in six patients), or due to electrical stimulation (43 in 14) or to chemical activation (five in three).
pasted-image.tiff pasted-image.tiff D j Vu in Science and al-Quran Perspectives: Cognitive Neuroscience Approach Jackson et.al (1994): Stimulation of either the neocortex (15 occurrences), anterior hippocampus (17) or amygdala (10) could evoke a dreamy state. However, the proportion of medial temporal electrodes where dreamy states could be evoked was much higher than in the neocortex. Most responsive lateral temporal sites were located in the superior temporal gyrus, rather than the middle temporal gyrus which was significantly less responsive. In 85% of dreamy states evoked by medial temporal lobe stimulation, the discharge spread to the temporal neocortex; and in 53% of dreamy states evoked by lateral temporal stimulation, the discharge spread medially.
pasted-image.tiff pasted-image.tiff D j Vu in Science and al-Quran Perspectives How does it smell? Its odour spreads out and fills the room. As it gone, we still remember and sometimes we think about them, right?
pasted-image.tiff pasted-image.tiff D j Vu in Science and al-Quran Perspectives Our physical state has significantly close attachment with the spiritual that are written in the Luh Mahfudz - Sheikh Hisham Kabbani. D j vu occurs because we are doing some kind of activities while asleep (Professor Ahmad Syauqi Ibrahim). Prof. Ahmad Syauqi Ibrahim in his theory stated that roh have the capability to move in significantly fast of speed, which may as fast as the speed of light. As the roh are coming back to the physical state of human, every single experiences while it is traveling outside of the body are store in the long term memory. It is possible that our subconscious mind are thinking about it in our daily life.
pasted-image.tiff pasted-image.tiff D j Vu in Science and al-Quran Perspectives This world and the unseen worlds are within the other. Our body, for example; we see the two worlds; our body that belongs to physical world and our soul which belongs to the the realm of unseen. Since our soul sometimes travels to the future and sees and lives there, in some events you feel that we have lived that situation and that moment before.
pasted-image.tiff pasted-image.tiff D j Vu in Science and al-Quran Perspectives Summary Every person has a Shaytaan with him (Qareen) who whispers to him to commit evil and can enter and exit the person. After a person dies, the Qareen still exist in this world if Allah will. We do not know of the world of Jinn but we do know what they are and what they are capable of and playing with a person and giving him visions and recalls is something they are capable of doing. The following narration of the Prophet ( ) regarding Dajjal (the anti-Christ) gives us some clear ideas: Once a person dies, the Qareen no longer remains the companion devil of that person and he may pass on information of the dead person elsewhere or in rare cases, he may become the Qareen of another person and cause that new person flashbacks of the previous person. a. he will say to a Bedouin: What do you think, if I resurrect your father and mother for you, will you bear witness that I am your Lord? He will say: Yes. Then two devils will appear to him in the form of his father and mother and will say: O my son, follow him, for he is your Lord. Part of his (Dajjal s) Fitnah (trial/tribulation) will be that to experience

Allah telah berfirman: "Apakah manusia mengira bahawa mereka akan dibiarkan mengatakan: Kami telah beriman, sedang mereka belum diuji?" (QS Al-Ankabut: 2-3).
