Collection: Iron
Modern discoveries has revealed that heavy elements like iron, carbon, sulfur, gold, and others are not originally formed on Earth or within our solar system. These elements are made in the cores of massive stars much larger than our Sun.
We now know that iron came from space, not from Earth itself. You may conduct your own research as well.
Quranic Reference to Iron
[Quran 57:25] :
"Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and with them We sent down the Scripture and the balance ˹of justice˺ so that people may administer justice. And We sent down iron with its great might, benefits for humanity, and means for Allah to prove who ˹is willing to˺ stand up for Him and His messengers without seeing Him. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty."
