Iron Between Science and Quran

Iron Between Science and Quran




Was iron formed in the earth ?
It is thought that the earth was once a part of the sun and then separated , so scientists thought that iron was formed in the sun but this supposition proved to be wrong because the surface heat temperature of the sun is 6000 Celsius degrees while the temperature of the core ranges from 15 million to 16 millions Celsius and in this degree , though high , is not enough to form an iron atom . The whole temperature of the solar system is not sufficient to produce elemental iron .
The observable universe is composed of hydrogen (74%) and Helium (24%) ,while the other 105 elements form (2%).On studying the sun ,scientists found that it is only hydrogen and Helium that are there , it is known that hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium and the sun nuclear reaction will remain as so till the sun runs out of hydrogen then begins to change into red giant where it will swallow the moon and the other planet . The Holy Quran records this cosmic event in its verses before science







God says in the Holy Quran what means""And when the moon and the Sun are joined together "
The Sun is just a ball of gas that will never fuse into iron and the scientific studies show no evidence of iron formation in the sun and as a result the iron in the earth was formed else . Iron needs a temperature of 600 million degrees to be formed . Scientists say that such a degree can not be found in any star but in the whose mass is three times bigger than the sun. In these the nuclear fusion starts with changing hydrogen into helium and the nuclear fusion goes on till iron is formed , iron can not be fused into any other heavier elements as it has the most binding energy , iron atom needs energy to be formed so the equilibrium inside the star is lost and the star explodes as a supernova where meteorites loaded with iron and other elements were sent down to the earth and other planets.

So iron did come from the outer space. God says in the Holy Quran what means "
"He sent iron, wherein is mighty power and (many) uses for mankind " ( Iron :25)



It was only when the earth was like a heap of ash that it was bombarded with iron meteorite , because of the high density of iron it found its way towards the core of the earth .
God in His holy verse reminds us of His favours to us that He sent down iron , though there are many other elements He sent, the question is why God mentioned iron and not of other elements .
The answer is given by a well-known microbiologist Michael Denton , In his book Nature’s Destiny, he says "Of all the metals there is none more essential to life than iron. It is the accumulation of iron in the center of a star which triggers a supernova explosion and the subsequent scattering of the vital atoms of life throughout the cosmos. It was the drawing by gravity of iron atoms to the center of the primeval earth that generated the heat which caused the initial chemical differentiation of the earth, the outgassing of the early atmosphere, and ultimately the formation of the hydrosphere. It is molten iron in the center of the earth which, acting like a gigantic dynamo, generates the earth’s magnetic field, which in turn creates the Van Allen radiation belts that shield the earth’s surface from destructive high-energy-penetrating cosmic radiation and preserve the crucial ozone layer from cosmic ray destruction…
Without the iron atom, there would be no carbon-based life in the cosmos; no supernovae, no heating of the primitive earth, no atmosphere or hydrosphere. There would be no protective magnetic field, no Van Allen radiation belts, no ozone layer, no metal to make hemoglobin [in human blood], no metal to tame the reactivity of oxygen, and no oxidative metabolism.
The intriguing and intimate relationship between life and iron, between the red or of blood and the dying of some distant star, not only indicates the relevance of metals to biology but also the biocentricity of the cosmos… "

A Numeric Miracle
This is a remarkably some modern findings of science already mentioned in the Holy Quran. So many articles were written about this miracle and proves that The Holy Quran is revealed by God … there will be new discoveries in the horizon of many miracles will be found ..I think the features in the Holy Quran that remained unknown will give more significant meanings.
The Holy Quran is like the fabric of the universe , every letters , every word and every Surah are in accordance to some numeric miracles. Scientists are now doing their best to find out more about the Holy Book . For example there is a numeric miracle in the Holy Quran concerning iron .
Surat al-Hadid 25, which refers to iron, contains two rather interesting mathematical codes.
“Al- Hadid” is the 57th surah in the Qur’an. The abjad of the word “Al-Hadid” in Arabic, when the numerological values of its letters are added up, is also 57.
The numerological value of the word “hadid” alone is 26. And 26 is the atomic number of iron.
