2. • In this presentation you will read about:
At the time of the prophet it was believed that iron was
formed in the earth since it was found mixed with the earth
stones . This was a dominant belief until recently. However,
Quran tells us that God sent iron from heaven and this
statement is now supported by our modern science.

3. 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 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 .

4. Where was iron created
Iron needs very high temperature.
This high temperature can not be
found anywhere except in stars
which five times larger than the
sun- scientifically known as massive
stars.
Life cycle of stars: In order to
sustain its life a star needs to fuse
hydrogen into other elements.
When stars like our sun ends up its
fuel it expands but in massive stars
the nuclear reaction goes on till iron

5. core formed in the center of the
star.
Iron can’t be fused, so the star
collapses forming a supernova.
The outer shells of the stars which
contain heavy elements bombard
the nearby planets.
This is exactly what happened to
our earth while it was still a heap
of ashes.

6. So according to modern
astrophysics, iron was
not formed in the earth.
It was formed in old
massive stars and then
was caused to hit the earth.

7. The Holy Quran tells us that Iron was not
formed in the earth.
• The Holy Quran presents many miracles that proves to
every person, be it learned or not, that it is a divine book.
• Among these miracles is the scientific miracle; the Holy
Quran contains scientific statements that are supported by
science.
• Please note that Prophet Muhammad was an illiterate
who lived in an age in which such scientific facts were not
known.

8. God says in the Holy Quran what means
We have already sent Our messengers with clear
evidences and sent down with them the Scripture
and the balance that the people may maintain [their
affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein
is great military might and benefits for the people,
and so that Allah may make evident those who
support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed,
Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.(57:25)

9. So According to this verse:
God sent down the Holy Quran.
God link between the Holy Quran as being sent
down and so was iron.
Please note though other heavy metals were sent
down but Quran gives special mention to iron
because it was the most common metal in the time
of revelation .

10. The Holy Quran refers to many benefits of iron
In his book Nature’s Destiny, Michael Denton, a well-known
microbiologist, says:
Of all the metals there is none more essential to life than iron. It is
the accumulation of iron in the centre 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 centre 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…

11. 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
haemoglobin [in human blood],
no metal to tame the reactivity of
oxygen, and no oxidative
metabolism.

12. The intriguing and intimate relationship between
life and iron, between the red color 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

13. The Holy Quran refers to the Atomic Number of 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.
