Chemical elements in the verse al quran

The whole universe, the earth we live in and all living things and inanimate objects composed of various combinations of elements. Although atoms are made up of elements that are all made up of the same particles, they have different characteristics. What essentially makes the elements different from each other is their atomic number, the number of protons in essence, in other words. There is one proton in hydrogen, the lightest element, 2 in helium, the next lightest, 79 gold, 8 in an oxygen atom and 26 iron. Properties that distinguish gold from iron, or iron from oxygen are just differences in the number of protons in their atoms. The air we breathe, the human body, every plant or animal or planet in space, living or dead, sweet or sour, solid or liquid, is completely everything, consisting of protons, neutrons and electrons as evidence in the sublime Creation of God.

"Hadid" the name of one of the Surahs in the Qur'an means "iron", one of the elements. Other elements and their atomic number and mass are also shown in this Surah. (Allah knows the truth.) In other words, Surat al-Hadid, which bears the name of iron, contains information about the atoms that make up matter in the universe, given 1,400 years ago. The provision of this information, when the elements and their atomic numbers have not been found, yet another miracle of the Qur'an.

The sequence of the Arabic letters in Surat al-Hadid is such that they represent expressions containing the commands and counsel of our Lord on the one hand and indications about the atoms on the other.

* This study takes the Arabic "Ra" as "R" in Western letters or "Mim" as the letter "M" The sequence of letters representing this element is not considered. This is enough for letters to appear side by side. Because the letters in the Kr element, for example, do not represent any other element with the name "Rk."

  Scientists have identified 92 natural elements. Artificial elements have also been obtained various experiments in recent times, but these are rarely found on Earth. To date, the existence of 110 elements has been verified by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

RADON = 86Rn

The Radon (Rn) element was discovered by the German chemist Friedrich E. Dorn in 1900, hundreds of years after the revelation of the Qur'an. This element is rarely found in nature. Radon is a radioactive element and is used in medical care.
The number of letters from the beginning of the verse to the letter "Rn" appears: 86
The atomic number of the "Rn" element: 86

(Surat al-Hadid, 22)

     

ZIRCONIUM = 40Zr

Zirconium (Zr) was discovered by German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789. The mention of this element, used in the nuclear reactor core, hundreds of years earlier in the Qur'an, is a great miracle.
There are 40 letters between the first time that the letters "Z" and "R" appear together and the beginning of this verse. The Zirconium atom number, the chemical symbol Zr, is 40. There are also 91 letters between the first time the letters "Z" and "R" come together and the end of the verse. And that number is the weight of Zirconium atoms.

Number of letters between the beginning of the verse and the letter Zr: 40
The atomic number of the element "Zr": 40

(Surat al-Hadid, 13)

TANTALUM = 73Ta

The element Tantalum (Ta) was discovered by the Swedish chemist Anders Ekeberg in 1802. It is a very hard element with a very high melting point. It is therefore used in many fields such as electricity and electronics. In addition, since this element does not react with body fluids, it is also used in medicine. This element, discovered centuries after the revelation of the Qur'an, is one of the rarest in nature.

There are 73 letters from the beginning of the verse for the first time the letters "T" and "A" appear together. That number is the number of Tantalum atoms.

Number of letters between the beginning of the verse and the letter "Ta": 73
The atomic number of the element "Ta": 73

(Surat al-Hadid, 16)

FLUORINE = 9F

The Fluorine Element (F) was discovered by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1886. There are 9 letters between the beginning of the verse and the first appearance of the letter "F" in Surat al-Hadid.

Number of letters between the beginning of the verse and the letter "F": 9
The atomic number of element "F": 9

(Surat al-Hadid, 01)

OXYGEN = 8O

Oxygen is one of the most common elements on Earth, and was discovered in 1770 by two separate scientists from each other: Switzerland's Carl Scheele and Joseph Priestley of England.

There are 8 letters from the beginning of the verse with the first letter "O" in Surat al-Hadid. "O" represented by the letter Alif in Arabic. Oxygen symbol is "O" and atomic number 8.

Number of letters between the beginning of the verse and the letter "O": 8
The atomic number of the element "O": 8

(Surat al-Hadid, 01)

 

SAMARIUM = 62Sm

The French scientist Paul Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovered the element of Samarium (Sm) in 1879.

In Surah the letters "S" and "M" first come together after the 62nd letter. These letters appear together as "M" and "S." But there is no element of the abbreviation Ms, the opposite of Sm.

Number of letters from the beginning of the verse to the letter "Sm": 62
The atomic number of the element "Sm": 62

(Surat al-Hadid, 15)
