The Iron miracle

“And We also sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind…” (Quran 57:25)

As-Salamou 'Alaykoum wa rahmatoullahi wa barakatouhou

Reading the Qu’ran as often as possible is highly recommended. The Holy Book is also called adhikr (reminder).
In fact, there are so many treasures inside, showing us the mercy of The Almighty on the human being, masha Allah
How can someone deny that it can only come from God?
Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both deny? (Quran 55:16)
Some miracles were only discovered recently, thanks to new technology. Iron is one of them.
This metal is so important for the human being, that no life can exists without it. And masha Allah, one surat is titled AL HADID (the Iron).

“Of all the metals there is none more essential to life than iron. It is the accumulation of iron in the center of a star which triggers a supernova explosion and the subsequent scattering of the vital atoms of life throughout the cosmos. It was the drawing by gravity of iron atoms to the center of the primeval earth that generated the heat which caused the initial chemical differentiation of the earth, the outgassing of the early atmosphere, and ultimately the formation of the hydrosphere. It is molten iron in the center of the earth which, acting like a gigantic dynamo, generates the earth’s magnetic field, which in turn creates the Van Allen radiation belts that shield the earth’s surface from destructive high-energy-penetrating cosmic radiation and preserve the crucial ozone layer from cosmic ray destruction…
“Without the iron atom, there would be no carbon-based life in the cosmos; no supernovae, no heating of the primitive earth, no atmosphere or hydrosphere. There would be no protective magnetic field, no Van Allen radiation belts, no ozone layer, no metal to make hemoglobin [in human blood], no metal to tame the reactivity of oxygen, and no oxidative metabolism.
“The intriguing and intimate relationship between life and iron, between the red color of blood and the dying of some distant star, not only indicates the relevance of metals to biology but also the biocentricity of the cosmos…”
Michael J. Denton, Nature’s Destiny (The Free Press: 1998), 198.

"In addition, the 25th verse of Surat al-Hadid, which refers to iron, includes two interesting mathematical codes.

1. In the Quran, there is a mathematical value for every letter. The mathematical value for the word iron (hadid) is 26.
Ha=8/Da=4/Ya=10/Da=4 Total=26

2. The verse which refers to iron is the 25th verse in the sura Hadid. If we count Basmalah as a numbered verse then that number is 26.

3. The name God mentioned in this verse for 26th time is in the 25th verse. The atomic number of an element is the main characteristic of that element and is determined by the number of its protons which are the building blocks of that element. Iron’s atomic number is 26 because of its 26 protons. The fact that from the beginning of the sura Iron (Hadid) till the end of the verse of that sura that alludes to iron, the word God is used 26 times.
