The sun's hydrogen and helium content

The Sun is made up of 70% hydrogen (H) and 28% helium (He) atoms. i
Other substances make up less than 2%. Six hundred million tons of
hydrogen are converted into 596 million tons of helium in the Sun
every second. The remaining 4 million tons is given off as heat and
light energy. ii In that sense, the first thing that comes to mind
when the Sun is mentioned is the letters H (hydrogen) and He (helium)
that stand for the Sun. All the 15 verses in Surat ash-Shams of the
Qur'an (Shams meaning 'Sun'), end in the letters H and E. The Arabic
equivalent of these letters are:
The Arabic form of the verses in Surat ash-Shams and the final letters
thereof can be seen below:
As can be seen, all the verses in Surat ash-Shams end in the letters
He and Elif. The letter H stands for hydrogen and He for helium. No
other Surah in the Qur'an ends in theletters HE in every verse from
beginning to end. It is therefore extremely striking how only this
Surah in the Qur'an endsin such a sequence of letters. Surat
ash-Shams's number, 91, is also highly significant. Apart from
hydrogen, there are 91 other elements in the Periodic Table, and these
are made up of hydrogen elements. To put it another way, all atoms.
From hydrogen, the lightest element, to the heaviest are intra-atomic
combinations of hydrogen atoms. For that reason, the H (hydrogen) atom
in the Sun makes up the other 91 elements in nature. iii
Almighty Allah has created all the details in nature, and is still
creating them. All our knowledge about such details is permitted to
usin order for us to comprehend the omniscience of our Lord.In one
verse, we are told:
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is
notsubject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the
earth belongs to Him. Who canintercede with Him except by His
permission? He knows what is before them andwhat is behind them
butthey cannot grasp any ofHis knowledge save what He wills. His
Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation
does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Surat
al-Baqara, 255)
