VERTIGO:

 وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ [Quran 23.78]  It is He who produced for you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the feelings. But little gratitude you show. The Quran always refers to the "hearing" before the "seeing" which turned out to be their actual order of creation. How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known that hearing develops before vision? THANK YOU
