God , the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, has told us in the Quran that He "Counted
the numbers of all things" 72:28 (7+2+2+8=19). The Mathematical Miracle of
the Quran , that God called "one of the great miracles " 74:35 (7+4+3+5=
?) has been expanding and more discoveries are being observed as He promised
in the Quran. the following quotes are taken from an old issue of one
of the Submitters journals.
"God assured us in the Quran that His book is complete, perfect and fully
detailed. True submitters (Muslims) accept this fact while others look for
other sources because they do not believe God. When students go to school
and study different subjects, they never ask if the subject taught by the
teacher is correct or the author of the book they study has explained the
subject matter properly. If one does not understand "tensor algebra" or "group
theory", he/she usually blames him/herself for not being able to understand,
the book is always right. This situation is usually reversed for the Quran
which is always blamed for not being DETAILED in spite of God's assertion
to the contrary. God, on the other hand tells us that He is the one who gives
knowledge and wisdom. Obviously Solomon did not go to Harvard Law School
and neither did Zul Quarnain go to MIT.
Both these men were given the correct understanding by God, for they knew
that the correct understanding comes from God to His obedient and appreciative
servants. These men as well as other examples we witness in the Quran always
thanked God for His blessings instead of referring to "nature" as some do.
The case of Zul Qarnain is interesting because God in simple language tells
us how to manufacture "steel". If you study the Quran, Chapter (Sura) 18,
God narrates the history of Zul Qarnain and his journey to a place between
the two palisades. He meets people whom he can hardly understand. These people
complain to him about Gog and Magog and how corrupt they are. They ask him
if he can make a barrier between them and Gog and Magog. In verse 95 he says
that "My Lord has given me many bounties....", therefore he immediately refers
to the source of the 'giving", God. Invaluable information on how to make
an alloy with iron and carbon follows in verse 18:96 and has been at peoples
disposal for almost 1400 years. Today, we know from the science of metallurgy
how to produce steel.
The IRON : Sura 57 (57 = 19X 3)
Sura 57 in the Quran is called "The Iron" in Arabic (Al-Hadeed). The word
(Al-Hadeed) in Arabic has a gematrical value of 57, the same like the sura
number. The gematrical value of the Arabic word (Hadeed) without the (Al)
is 26. Number 26 is the position of iron in the periodic table of
elements.(the number of protons in the iron nucleus is 26)
The iron itself in mentioned in verse 25 of this sura. The last word God
(ALLAH) mentioned in verse 25 is the 26th word GOD from the beginning of
this sura. (This is the number of PROTONS in the iron nucleus.) Verse 25
in this sura is the 19th verse which contains the word God in Sura 57. God
is Omniscient.
Comments by our
readers
We received this great comment from Brother Yasser Haridi at NASA,
Dear brothers/sisters;
I was surfing through submission.org and I read an article about the miracle
of IRON and the Qur'an. I was also reading an article about a scientist here
at NASA regarding that subject and I thought it was worth mentioning.
Professor Armstrong works at NASA, otherwise known as the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, where he is a well-known scientist here. He was
asked about Iron and how it was formed. He explained how all the elements
in the earth were formed. He stated that the scientists have come only recently
to discover the relevant facts about that formation process. He said that
the energy of the early solar system was not sufficient to produce elemental
Iron. In calculating the energy required to form one atom of iron, it was
found to be about four times as much as the energy of the entire solar system.
In other words, the entire energy of the earth or the moon or the planet
Mars or any other planet is not sufficient to form one new atom of iron,
even the energy of the entire solar system is not sufficient for that. That
is why Professor Armstrong said that the scientists believe that iron is
an extraterrestrial that was sent to earth and not formed therein.
Now compare that to the Qur'aanic verse saying:
[57:25]
We sent our messengers supported by clear proofs,
and we sent down to them the scripture and the law, that the people may uphold
justice. And we sent
down the iron, wherein there is strength, and many benefits
for the people. All this in order for GOD to distinguish those who would
support Him and His messengers, on faith. GOD is powerful, Almighty.
Notice the word SENT DOWN and also notice that IRON was the only kind of
metal mentioned by name as sent down, in the Qur'an and has a whole sura
entitled THE IRON or Al Hadeed.
Subha'an Allah. Now read the following verses and appreciate the meaning
behind them.
[17:41]
We have cited in this Quran (all kinds of examples), that they may take
heed. But it only augments their aversion.
[20:113]
We thus revealed it, an Arabic Quran, and we cited in it all kinds of
prophecies, that they may be saved, or it may cause them to take heed.
[24:18]
GOD thus explains the revelations for you. GOD is Omniscient, Wise.
[25:33]
Whatever argument they come up with, we provide you with the truth, and
a better understanding.
[29:51]
Is it not enough of a miracle that we sent down to you this book, being
recited to them? This is indeed a mercy and a reminder for people who
believe.
[30:58]
Thus, we have cited for the people in this Quran all kinds of examples.
Yet, no matter what kind of proof you present to the disbelievers, they say,
"You are falsifiers."
[34:5]
As for those who constantly challenge our revelations, they have incurred
a retribution of painful humiliation.
[34:6]
It is evident to those who are blessed with knowledge that this revelation
from your Lord to you is the truth, and that it guides to the path of the
Almighty, the Most Praiseworthy.
[47:24]
Why do they not study the Quran carefully? Do they have locks on their
minds?
[75:16-19]
Do not move your tongue to hasten it. It is we who will collect it into
Quran. Once we recite it, you shall follow such a Quran. Then it is we who
will explain it.
LA ELAHA ELLA ALLAH.
