Iron Sent Down from the Heavens
Modern Science
Astrophysicists discovered that iron did not originate on Earth. Instead, it was forged in the fiery cores of massive stars. When these stars exploded as supernovae, they scattered iron and other heavy elements throughout the universe.
Key Scientific Facts:
Iron cannot be produced by chemical reactions on Earth
Meteorites delivered iron to Earth, proving it came from the heavens
Qur’ānic Revelation 1400 Years Ago
“Indeed, We sent down iron with its great might, benefits for humanity, and means for Allāh to prove who will stand up for Him and His messengers without seeing Him. Surely Allāh is All-Powerful, Almighty.”
(Qur’ān 57:25)
The Qur’ān does not say iron was created on Earth. Instead, it says “We sent down iron” (وَأَنزَلْنَا ٱلْحَدِيدَ) — a phrase that aligns perfectly with modern science.
