them the Book and the Balance, that mankind may observe justice; And
We sent down (Nazala) iron, in which is (material for) mighty power,
as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is
that will help, unseen, Him and His Messengers, for Allahis full of
strength, exalted in might." (The Quran, 57:25.)
It is remarkable that the Holy Quran uses the word Nazala for iron,
stating that it was sent down to earth. Geologists now agree that the
entire energy of our solar system is not sufficient to produce one
atom of iron. Additionally, they state that four times as much energy
as that of our solar system would be needed to make one atom of ironon
the surface of earth. The geologists thus conclude that iron is an
extra-terrestrial material that came to earth from some other planet.
The word Nazala to the early commentatorsof the Holy Quran was one the
mysteries of the Holy Quran. Recent advancement of knowledge has
changed this mystery of the Holy Quran to a fact of science. Who
besides Allah,Glory be to Him, could have such absolute knowledge
which excelsand encompasses all levels of human knowledge?
