(Al-Hadid = Iron)

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. (Al-Hadid, 25)

• “We sent down iron, wherein is mighty power and (many) benefits for mankind…” (Al-Hadid, 25)

• Quran states “iron” which is the raw material of the industry and implies with the expressionانزلنا (sent down) that iron was sent down from the sky.

• The researches of the 20.century revealed that the iron on earth has come from the giant stars in outer space. Furthermore, the expression حديد hadid: (iron) equals to 26 according to the abjad calculation.(a kind of calculation method in Arabic Script that calculates the numerical equivalent per each letter.)This number is the same as its atom number in the periodic table.
