1. Chapter 57 — “Al-Ḥadīd” (The Iron)

Surah 57 is titled Al-Ḥadīd, meaning “The Iron.”

This surah is exactly in the middle of the Qur’ān — just as iron is at the core of the Earth.

The Qur’ān has 114 chapters → 114 ÷ 2 = 57

Surah 57 stands at the center.

2. Numerical Value (Abjad) Matches the Chapter Number

The Arabic word:

“Al-Ḥadīd” (الحديد) has a numerical value of 57 → same as the chapter number.

“Ḥadīd” (حديد) without the “Al” has a value of 26.

Modern science:

Iron’s atomic number = 26

→ Exactly matching “Ḥadīd” = 26.

3. The Word "Iron" Appears in Verse 25

Iron is mentioned in:

Surah 57, Verse 25

→ 57 & 25 stand together like a coded signature.

Inside this same chapter:

From the beginning of Surah 57 up to verse 25,

the word “Allah” appears 26 times.

The 26th mention of “Allah” occurs

as the 26th word in verse 25.

Everything aligns with the number 26 —

the atomic number of iron.

4. A Deeper Meaning

Iron is essential for:

blood

structure

tools

construction

civilization

And the Qur’ān highlights this divine gift:

﴿وَأَنزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ﴾

“…And We sent down iron, in which there is great strength…”

— Qur’ān 57:25

The phrase “We sent down iron” is striking —

modern astrophysics later proved that iron does not form on Earth,

but is sent down from supernova explosions in space.
