The descent of Iron

  IRON COMING FROM THE SKY WITH RAIN (HADID 25)by kurtuluş berzan 

As is known, iron is an element that can form in old stars. The final state of stars is called supernova, and supernovae eventually explode due to the effect of the excess iron formed in their centers and scatter the iron throughout the galaxy. The iron in our world also came from such supernova explosions. Even the heat of our sun is not enough to create iron. Therefore, it is true that iron comes from the sky, that is, from space. In this article, I want to touch on the part of the issue related to the Earth, not the space part.


As is known, iron is necessary for life. Anemia occurs in iron deficiency, and further deficiency can end life. Iron is essential not only for the human body but also for invisible microorganisms, all plants and all animals. Life could not exist in its absence.


Some atheists, who look at the verses of the Quran with a superficial perspective and a superficial understanding of science, have written that iron is important in making weapons and that this is why the Quran says "We sent down iron from the sky." I felt ashamed of this superficial understanding of science on their behalf. Because they must be unaware of the importance of the iron cycle for life and that we carry iron not only in our weapons but also in our bodies. Then they shouldn't have reduced this iron issue so simply.

There is no other trace element that cycles through life as intensely as iron. Iron's entry into the body requires more continuity than others, and because of this continuity, it is stored in the spleen in our body. If they had at least established a logic like this, why doesn't the Quran say that we took the iron out of the ground, but rather that we brought it down from the sky? Yes, so let's talk about an important scientific fact that has been understood in the last 20 years.


The subject that scientists have frequently studied in recent years is the iron that falls on the Earth with rain. This iron falls back to the Earth when the dust created by sandstorms in the desert is carried to the clouds in aerosol form and then rains down on different parts of the Earth. Until recent times, people had not been able to adequately understand the place and importance of deserts in natural systems. Deserts were generally known as useless piles of sand and empty spaces. Now it has been determined that deserts provide plants and sea creatures with the iron necessary for the continuation of the ecosystem. (9)


The Sahara desert, which is the largest desert and therefore the largest source of dust, the Gobi, Taklamakan, Karakum, Kızılkum deserts, which were formed due to severe drought in Central Asia, and the Mexican desert on the North American continent, constitute the dust sources of the northern hemisphere (1) The largest dust source in the southern hemisphere. Effective dust sources are; The Victoria and Gibson deserts in Australia and the Kalahari (Namibia) and Atacama (Patagonia) deserts. (2) The Sahara desert emits 1.5 billion tons of dust every year. (3)

Dr. saydam  one of the first studies on this subject in Turkeye. In the October 2002 issue of Science and Technology magazine, Saydam explained how iron is carried by desert dust and distributes life to the earth, and stated the studies on desert dust as follows: The iron found in desert dust is in the Fe+3 form and is not useful for plants. However, this iron transforms into Fe+2 form within the clouds by an unknown mechanism, and in this way, it returns to the earth with rain, meeting the iron needs of plants to a significant extent. (4)

The researcher compared the iron content of the Sahara desert, Riyadh desert and Anatolian soil and reported that there are 4500 units of iron in the Sahara sand, 800 units in the Riyadh desert and 100-200 units in Anatolian soil. Later, they conducted an experiment by spraying Sahara sand on various plants and observed that Sahara sand increased the yield of some plants by up to 5 times due to its iron content. 


In addition, the same researcher reported that when he applied water mixed with desert dust to cotton fields, the yield increased by 11% compared to normal and the iron content of the field increased by 300%. (4) Again, the researcher stated that phytoplankton, the first link of marine eco-life, needs intense iron, and most of this iron is found in clouds infused with desert sands. and that when these rains carry desert sand, the phytoplankton in the Black Sea increases greatly, and accordingly the anchovy fish population increases.


A study published in the journal Nature in 2014 states that desert dust is indispensable for the marine ecosystem. According to this study, 87% of the iron in the sea comes from aerosolized desert sands in the air. They emphasize that the green color on the shores, while the middle of the sea is blue, is due to this iron, and that without this desert iron, the marine ecosystem and living creatures would not be as diverse and would decrease. They even said that without this iron coming from the sand, the climate of the whole Earth would change, along with the ecosystem of the seas. (5-8)


Now think about whether this life-bringing feature of iron is a coincidence. Doesn't the fact that seemingly useless deserts distribute life to the Earth show that everything is finely arranged? Come on, if you couldn't comprehend these facts, what coincidence will you explain why the Quran says "we brought down the iron" instead of "we took out the iron from the ground" when reporting this important event? If it were you, could you use this expression that coincides with an important scientific fact? Indeed, if it were not for the desert iron raining down on us, life would perhaps not end, but according to the above research, they would be so weak that the balance of the ecosystem would collapse, and as a result, humans would not be able to live so easily. With the weakening of the ecosystem, humankind would have to struggle to survive on a very difficult Earth. What did the verse say? “… We also sent down iron, in which there is great power and benefits for people…Hadid 25”


Moreover, the fact that the iron in the Earth was brought down to the center of the earth during the initial formation of the earth miraculously explains the phenomenon of iron being brought down. As you know, this iron provides gravity, the atmosphere and the formation of the magnetosphere. Again, as is known, iron is the product of star explosions and came to Earth from very distant stars.


Briefly; Iron is brought down to the Earth's core and this iron protects the Earth from harmful rays coming from space, iron is the final product of a star explosion and comes from stars, and iron falls with rain, increasing plankton in the oceans and thus creating oxygen on the Earth. The facts make iron a blessing and show its strong connection with the revelation.by Kurtuluş Berzan

Iron catastrophe caused by supernova explosions being brought down to Earth and iron catastrophe by Prof. Dr. İbrahim Esinler


5098|57|25|لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ وَأَنزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ لِيَقُومَ ٱلنَّاسُ بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَأَنزَلْنَا ٱلْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَنَٰفِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥ وَرُسُلَهُۥ بِٱلْغَيْبِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ

We certainly sent our messengers with clear evidence and sent down with them the book and the measure/balance. the equality of men to raise and erect; And we sent down  the iron; it  has a hard/solid power/force; and benefits/benefits for people; And who will help Allah and His messengers to know/make known in the unseen/unknown? Indeed, Allah is strong/mighty; is powerful

In the verse, the physical lowering of iron is mentioned. When the word lowering is used, everyone understands the bringing of something that is above to a place that is lower than a reference point. There is no doubt about this.


The source of iron in the world, where it comes from and how it comes from are now fully known thanks to modern science.

Modern science says the following;


Iron came to our Earth from space.

The iron that descended to our Earth from space later descended to the Earth's core.


Where is the source of iron in the world?


The first iron atom in the universe was formed in the nuclei of stars. When giant stars with a mass between 10 and 29 times the mass of our Sun disintegrate as a result of supernova explosions, plenty of iron is thrown into space. Iron has a very special role in the fusion reaction in the core of the star. Two forces play a very important role in the star. The gravitational force in the star's core is so strong that it prevents the star from exploding. What prevents the star from collapsing due to gravity is the energy released by the fusion reaction. The fusion reaction is when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms and energy is released in the process. Helium atoms combine with hydrogen atoms to form larger atoms like a mine in the core of the star. The atomic weight of iron is 26. All elements-atoms lighter than the iron atom (such as carbon, oxygen, fluorine, sodium, calcium, potassium, nitrogen) are formed in the core of the star by a similar method. But there is a very interesting situation about the element iron. Once iron is formed in the core of the star, the iron atom cannot undergo fusion. In other words, elements larger than iron cannot be formed. When iron cannot undergo the fusion reaction, abundant iron accumulates in the core of the star. When the power of the fusion reaction decreases, the gravitational force in the core of the star overcomes the outward pushing force of the fusion reaction, and the star incredibly collapses within seconds. With the shock of this collapse, the outer parts of the star explode outwards. The collapsing star forms a neutron star consisting of neutrons. The gas and dust clouds that spread throughout space with the explosion contain plenty of iron and elements lighter than iron.

How did the iron brought down to Earth from space land in the Earth's core?


Iron catastrophe process:

As the Earth grew, its gravitational force increased, and the gravitational force caused the Earth to shrink-collapse into itself and become denser. This implosion caused the Earth to overheat. Heat also occurred as a result of radioactive decay. Excessive heat caused the mixed iron element to melt. When the melted iron element became fluid, it began to flow towards the center of the Earth due to gravity. While the heavy elements melted and flowed to the center of the Earth, the lighter elements (silicon-soil-rock) remained above and formed the upper crust of the Earth. This event is called 'Iron catastrophe'. Iron catastrophe caused the Earth to have a layered structure. In addition, the iron flowing to the center formed the core of the Earth and created the Earth's magnetic field (magnitosphere) and prevented harmful effects from the Sun

Iron catastrophe: Iron was melted into the Earth's core through a process called 'Iron catastrophe'.

Note: There are many miracles in the Hadid (Iron) sura. There are a total of 26 words of Allah from the beginning of the sura to the sentence 'And We sent down the iron'. In addition, the verse containing this sentence is the 26th verse, including the basmala. When the iron atom is mentioned, the number 26 immediately comes to mind. The atomic number of iron is 26.by Prof. Dr. İbrahim Esinler

https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/.../1727-how-elements-are...

Those who do not want to see this miracle or want to overshadow it put forward these two arguments.


1. The word 'enzelna' 'we sent down' in the verse cannot literally mean 'we sent down'. This word is used elsewhere in the Quran in the sense of 'to bestow'. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that iron is given in this verse. There is no miracle.


2. Even if we take the word 'enzelna' literally as 'we sent down', there is a scientific error in the verse. Iron is already in the cloud of gas and dust that forms the Earth. Therefore, downloading is not possible. Also, why were no elements other than iron mentioned?


Now, with God's permission, let's answer these arguments.


Answer 1. byProf. Dr. İbrahim Esinler



(أَنزَلْنَا) The root of the word enzelna (نزل) means to descend, come down, to dismount, to fall down. Hans Wehr 4th ed., page 1122 (of 1303).


In all Arabic-English dictionaries, it is seen that the first and most commonly used meaning of the word is literally to download. In other words, it is the physical lowering of something from top to bottom relative to a reference point.


This word is used quite frequently in the Quran.


In many verses you will see below, it is used literally in the sense of downloading (descending from above to downwards). Without doubt.


Bringing down water from the sky

Bringing down the rain

Bringing down hail from clouds

Landing of Noah's ark in a fertile place

Knowing what lands on the ground and what comes out of the ground

Being taken down from their towers/fortresses

Downloading manna and quail

 


This word can also have other meanings.


It can mean something like bestowal, such as the sending down of the book, the sending down of the angels, the sending down of the torment, the sending down of the animals and the clothes.


Therefore, the meaning of the word can be interpreted according to the verse in which it is used. But if the passage in the verse gives the real meaning of the word, the real meaning should be preferred.


This is what happens in verse 57:25. The statement 'and we brought down the iron' is in full agreement with scientific data. The fact that iron is brought down to the Earth after being formed in supernova explosions and then brought down to the core shows that the word 'download' in the verse refers to real physical downloading. Just like water being sent down from the sky. Just like Noah's ark being lowered to the ground.


There is no obstacle to not taking the word 'lowering' in the literal meaning of 'real physical lowering from above to below' regarding the lowering of the iron in verse 57:25.

Answer 2.byProf. Dr. İbrahim Esinler



Iron and many elements formed from billions of supernova explosions spread into space. They concentrate in some places due to the effect of gravity. These condensing clouds of gas and dust are called 'nebula'. They are the places where stars are born.


Our Sun was born from such clouds of gas and dust. In our world.


When our Earth did not exist yet, very small pieces came together to form a small rock piece, and then this rock piece started to grow gradually.


When it reached a certain size, it created its own gravitational force. At this point, we can call this large body the world, the precursor of the Earth. Iron-rich rocks orbiting the Earth, which had grown sufficiently, fell (landed) under the influence of gravity and became a part of the Earth. So much iron-rich rock fell on Earth that it became larger than it is today, clearing everything in its orbit.


The process of iron landing on Earth has been completed.


 


The second process is the reduction of iron to the lower core. This is achieved through the 'Iron catastrophe' process.


Those who criticize ignore this very, very important process in the development of the Earth. But this process is actually very important. As the Earth warms, the molten iron is lowered into the Earth's core. This creates the Earth's magnetic field. This process is the reason why the Earth has a layered structure.


No matter how you look at it;


The iron formed in space was brought down to Earth. The iron was then lowered into the Earth's core.


 


Why are no other elements mentioned?


The Quran is not a chemistry book. There is no need to mention other elements. One important example is given and it is enough for those who understand. If some other elements were mentioned, one might ask why not all of them were mentioned this time. 'Doesn't God know the other elements? It will be asked, 'Did he forget?'


The benefit of the iron element to humanity is slightly more than other elements. It is one of the most beneficial elements to humanity as it melts into the Earth's core and creates a strong magnetic field. Therefore it is a very good example.


Wherever you look;


The sentence 'And we brought down the iron' is a great miracle.

Certainly the ancient Egyptians were aware of meteoritic iron, but uncomfortably for the archaeologists, the evidence suggests that by a very early date in their history they were already sophisticated enough to differentiate between different types of iron. Loadstones were called `res mehit ba', meaning `north-south iron', and Plutarch quotes Manetho as differentiating loadstones from non-magnetic iron, calling the former `Bone of Osiris', and the latter `Bone of Typhon', (being the Greek version of Set).3 Robert Temple in `The Crystal Sun', uses this to argue that the Egyptians must have been aware of the differences between magnetic and true north, imaginatively suggesting that the motif of the `crossed arrows', which occurs often in Egyptological symbolism, relates to the difference between true, and magnetic north. 4

Robert H O'Connell in 1983 translated the coffin text Spell 148, which refers to meteoritic impact as being integral to the conception of Horus. `…the blast of a meteorite such that gods fear, Isis awoke pregnant by the seed of her brother Osiris!….5 Even earlier, in 1911, Wallis Budge translated a text from the time of Pepi II (circa 2278- 2184 BC) which speaks of `the iron which came from Set, and was in the forearm of Set; it transferred to the deceased the power of the eye of Horus'.6 As the constellation of the Great Bear was considered to be the abode of Set, we can reasonably conclude that at least one iron-bearing meteorite came from this direction early in the Old Kingdom. And if we were to conclude that the ascension of Horus came about during the unification of the two lands, we would be able to postulate that this unification came about during a period of meteoritic activity.

The evidence then, seems to support the notion that the ancient Egyptians were aware of iron, and probably viewed it as a heavenly substance. And yet its association with Set makes its inclusion in the pyramid of Khufu a surprise. Petrie in the Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh, 1883, referred to the iron plate found by Hill. `…and though some doubt has been thrown upon the piece, merely from its rarity, yet the vouchers for it are very precise; and it has a cast of nummulite on the rust of it, proving it to have been buried for ages besides a block of nummulitic limestone, and therefore to be certainly ancient…'7 His language and phraseology, both implying that he was personally familiar with the piece, and providing clear evidence of its antiquity.

However, the assumption that all iron in the Old Kingdom was of meteoritic origin is frankly untenable. In 1989 a fragment was taken from the plate found by Hill, and was tested by two eminent metallurgists Jones and Gayer who concluded that it was very ancient. Significantly they stated that the metallurgical evidence supported the archaeological evidence that it was incorporated within the pyramid when it was built.8 More importantly they went on to determine that the iron was not meteoritic, had been smelted at a temperature of between 1000 and 1100 degrees centigrade, and bore traces of gold on one of the surfaces of the plate. To simply dismiss the plate as a forgery therefore is to impugn the reputation of these scientists, and yet to do otherwise is to run into a brick wall of archaeological dogma, whose mantra states that iron can only have been meteoritic at such an early stage in civilisations development.

Iron has four stable isotopes54Fe (5.845% of natural iron), 56Fe (91.754%), 57Fe (2.119%) and 58Fe (0.282%). Twenty-four artificial isotopes have also been created. Of these stable isotopes, only 57Fe has a nuclear spin (−12). The nuclide 54Fe theoretically can undergo double electron capture to 54Cr, but the process has never been observed and only a lower limit on the half-life of 3.1×1022 years has been established.[21] via wikipedia

The most common form of iron on Earth is the iron 56 isotope. The iron 57 isotope is present at 2.12%. There is something miraculous about pointing to the iron 57 isotope. The word “El Hadid” (الحديد) is the 13th word of the verse. Word 13 and verse 26 give us the ratio ½, which is the nuclear spin ratio of the iron 57 isotope. It is the only isotope with a spin ratio of (−​1⁄2). The iron 57 isotope (−​1⁄2) is one of the atoms least sensitive to “Nuclear Magnetic Resonance” (NMR) in the periodic table with its nuclear spin ratio by Prof. Dr. İbrahim Esinler


The word Al-Hadid is the 13th word of the 26th verse (basmala verse 1th).


26 occurrences of the word Allah:

The number of occurrences of the word Allah in Surah 57 is also very interesting. Allah is mentioned 26 times in total, including the verse where the word iron appears at the beginning of the 57th sura. And in exactly 19 verses.
The fact that the word iron is in the 26th verse of the sura (including the basmala) and that there are a total of 26 words of Allah up to and including this verse brings the number 26 to the fore, which is the atomic number of iron. It is impossible for the atomic number of iron to have been known by the Prophet Muhammad.by Prof. Dr. İbrahim Esinler



The use of the word command in verse 26 indicates the atomic number of the iron atom, which is 26. It refers to the 26 protons in its nucleus. The 57th sura contains 30 verses, when basmala is taken as verse 0. The number 30 indicates the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Thus, 26 + 30 = 56, which is the atomic weight of the most abundant isotope of the iron atom in the universe (Fe56).

The letter 'Fe', which is the symbol of the iron atom, and 'fe' 'ف'; It occurs 56 times, indicating that the atomic weight of the iron atom is 56.by Prof. Dr. İbrahim Esinler

Chests contract with altitude ?

 

Longer Stay in Space Shrinks Human Heart by zaid shah 

(Al Quran 6:125) …and whom He wills to go astray, He makes his heart narrow, much too narrow, as though he climbs up to the sky. In this way, Allah brings ignominy over those who do not believe.

Recent studies show evidence that human heart shrinks while in space and the health can sustain itself only for a year and then begins to deteriorate. The findings suggest that long-term weightlessness alters the structure of the heart, causing shrinkage and atrophy. The study published in American Heart Association's Circulation Journal, measured NASA astronaut Scott Kelly's heart before and during his 340-day time in space. It reported a loss of mass and initial drop in diameter in the left ventricles of the heart during the experience.[1] Other health changes reported were DNA damage, gene expression changes, a thickening of the retina, shifts in gut microbes, reduced cognitive abilities and a structural change at the ends of chromosomes called telomeres.[2] Its mainly due to to the long period of weightlessness experienced by astronauts including exposure to space radiation and other factors. The gravity experienced on Earth is what helps the heart to maintain both its size and function as it keeps blood pumping through our veins. The study suggests that astronauts engaged in long duration spaceflights suffer from atrial fibrillation, a form of arrhythmia, fast, irregular heartbeat about a decade earlier than the rest of the population and they could be at risk of developing this during such spaceflights. Atrial fibrillation can cause discomfort, reduce exercise tolerance and increase the risk of stroke in people who are otherwise healthy. While this may be an interesting piece of evidence for researchers it should also amaze Muslims to whom the Quran mentions the same:

(Al Quran 6:125) So, whom Allah wills to give guidance, He opens his heart for Islam (yashrah sadrahu lil-lslam), and whom He wills to go astray, He makes his heart narrow, much too narrow (yaj'al sadrahu dhaeeqan harajan), as though he climbs up to the sky. In this way, Allah brings ignominy over those who do not believe.

​The term sadr (صَدْر) used in the verse means "breast, or chest", also includes reference to our hearts. The term shrah sadr means removing of hindrance and distraction from the heart towards accepting something. In the verse it refers to Islam's universal teachings and principles, morals and ethics and all that is instructed to us becomes acceptable to our hearts without any doubts whatsoever. By comparing contentment and satisfaction of the heart to the physical shrinkage of the organ experienced by those who remain suspended in the air without gravity, like space travel, the Quran explains how Islam carries importance to one's life. Just as a healthy heart is the key to our health and wellbeing, the hearts acceptance of Islam is the key to its guidance and peace necessary for a righteous life and strength to face challenges with trust in Allah ﷻ. It is this certainty of Islamic faith and our complete submission to it that gives contentment to the heart and gives peace to our life. At the same time this is also Quran's wakeup call to atheists, agnostics & scientologists (followers of scientology religion) whose ranks fill the modern secular academia, including astronauts & astrophysicists: "In this way, Allah brings ignominy over those who do not believe." It is they who study the creation, day and night yet refuse to believe in the One Who Created it, the entire creation, which is a self evident phenomena of His Will and Existence. The ignominy they face is their inability to stop the impact of natural forces on their heart and healt

Hypoxia

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), also known as the Euler-Liljestrand mechanism, is a physiological phenomenon in which small pulmonary arteries constrict in the presence of alveolar hypoxia (low oxygen levels).


Wikipedia, Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction, 2019


The blood vessels in the lungs constrict when oxygen level drops.*

Hypoxia In Quran.

It makes her chest tight, constricted. It's like he's rising to the sky.by  

914|6|125|فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَٰمِ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Fe men yuridillâhu en yehdiyehu yeşrah sadrehu lil islâmi, ve men yurid en yudıllehu yec’al sadrehu dayyikan haracen, ke ennemâ yassa’adu fîs semâi, kezâlike yec’alûllâhur ricse alâllezîne lâ yu’minûn.


The root of the word deyyikan (ضَيِّقًا) means (ضيق) tightness, narrowness, limitation, paucity, anxiety. Hans Wehr 4th ed., page 641 (of 1303)


(حَرَجًا) The root of the word haracen (حرج) means tight, narrow, to be straitened, to be oppressed. Hans Wehr 4th ed., page 195 (of 1303)


(يَصَّعَّدُ) The root of the word yessaaadu (صعد) means to rise, to go up, to take off (lift), to climb (climb). Hans Wehr 4th ed., page 600 (of 1303)

What changes occur in the chest of a person who ascends to the sky? Modern science provides the answer to this.


The first change in a person ascending to the sky is seen in the lungs inside the chest. As you ascend towards the sky, the pressure and density of the inhaled air decreases. The air becomes thinner. Therefore, the amount of oxygen gas inhaled also decreases.


When a person rises towards the sky, fluid accumulates in his lungs. This is called high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). It is a very dangerous situation that can happen to people living at normal altitudes (especially mountain climbers) when they go up to heights in a short time.


The flexibility of the lung is called 'pulmonary compliance'. A normal lung has a certain flexibility and a person can breathe easily. With fluid accumulation in the lungs (HAPE), the lungs lose their elasticity. This situation can be likened to a balloon becoming thick and difficult to inflate. Unable to stretch, lungs become tighter, more restricted, more limited, and more inadequate. Just like the word deyyikan in the verse (ضَيِّقًا). Almighty Allah has chosen this word in such a magnificent way that the word deyyikan also means anxiety. Indeed, high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), which develops in a person ascending to the sky, causes serious anxiety and concern because it causes difficulty in breathing.

One of many studies showing that lung flexibility decreases due to high altitude pulmonary edema >>>

Lung Function and Breathing Pattern in Subjects ...


The use of the word haracen (حَرَجًا) in the verse is also a miracle. When we look at the meaning of this word, we understand that it means to physically narrow something down.

What tightens in the chest of a person who ascends to the sky?

The answer to this is again given by modern science.

When a person ascends to the sky, a protection mechanism is activated because the air he breathes becomes thinner and the amount of oxygen is low. The lack of oxygen in the lungs contracts and narrows all the arteries in the lungs through some mechanisms. 'Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction' develops. This mechanism is called the Euler-Liljestrand mechanism. Exactly as stated in the verse with the word haracen (حَرَجًا).

In summary;

As a person ascends to the sky, the amount of oxygen he receives decreases due to the thinning of the air he breathes. Fluid fills the lungs (Acute pulmonary edema). This fluid filling reduces the flexibility of the lungs. The lung becomes tight, hard, restricted, inadequate. Additionally, all of the pulmonary arteries narrow..by  


Does chest contract with altitude?

6:125 So whoever Allah wants to guide, He expands his breast to Islam; and whoever He wants to let go astray, He makes his breast tight (dayyiqan) and constricted (harajan) as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus Allah places the filth on those who do not believe.

(The root of “harajan” (constricted) is “Ha-Ra-Jiim”, and it means “to be contracted (heart), oppressed, become narrow / close / strait, be disquieted and contracted in the bosom, be attended with straitness and difficulty, etc.”. So, harajan” carries the meaning of “narrowness” in the form of hardship and difficulty. As we ascend to the sky it becomes more difficult for us to breath, because the oxygen concentration and air / atmospheric pressure decreases at high altitudes)(In regard to constricted breast, I quote the article “dyspnea” in mdguidelines(dot)com: “Dyspnea is a sensation of difficult or uncomfortable breathing. It manifests as breathlessness or increased respiratory effort. Dyspnea is experienced when the need for oxygen exceeds the actual or perceived capacity of the lungs to respond”. “Sudden onset of dyspnea is most typically associated with narrowing of the airways or airflow obstruction”,“Dyspnea also is experienced by individuals encountering high-altitude sickness”. “… poor pumping action of the heart that results in increased pressure and fluid in the lungs...”)(And I quote the article “shortness of breath” in emergencyeducation(dot)net: “dyspnoea compromises of three main common complaints – increased work of breathing, the presence of chest tightness or the feeling of “air hunger” or the sensation of not getting enough oxygen”. So, the Qur’an is in accordance with science)(Note: the root of “dayyiqan” (tight) is “Dad-Ya-Qaf” and it means “became narrow or strait. Became choked, surcharged, or overfilled with something. Treated or behave towards someone with hardness or harshness. Means of living became straitened, property went away, poor., etc.”)(Allah knows best) by amin

Does chest contract with altitude?



''Noble Verses 15:97and 26:13, above, where they used the same exact Words that were used in Noble Verse 6:125, Allah Almighty talked about the feeling of the chest and the pain it experiences from disbelief and having bitterness and grudge against Islam as if the person is ascending up to space, and not the physical expansion or shrinking of the chest's flesh and bones.  Allah Almighty NEVER SAID anything about the increasing or decreasing in the size of any flesh or bone!  The Noble Verse never talked about the flesh and bones themselves expanding.   

The Noble Verse NEVER said that the flesh would shrink.  It only said that the more he ascends to space the more his chest would feel extremely constricted and tight.  Science today has indeed confirmed that the more the person ascends upwards toward space, unaided, the lower the air pressure becomes and the more the air and heat inside his lungs and body would expand.  Also, science has also confirmed that an unaided person in space would suffocate and die due to the overwhelming increase of air pressure in his lungs and body, and the increase of temperature inside his body.  His lungs would even eventually burst.  Neither did the Noble Quran say that his own flesh would either naturally decrease or increase in size, and neither did science.  On the contrary, because they do not expand, they will ultimately burst due to their failure to resist the pressure.  Therefore, Allah Almighty's Divine Claim is in perfect agreement with science, because man would indeed have his chest be extremely constricted and tight in space, and he would eventually die.'' by osama abdallah 


the Quran never said  ''person's chest cavity gets smaller at higher altitude'' Therefore, the claim of scientific error is unfounded/baseless. 

For something to be narrow, something else must be larger than normal.


There are mountain ranges in Saudi Arabia in the Asir and Makkah regions. (Highest peak is around 9843 feet). List of mountains in Saudi Arabia - Wikipedia


Acute mountain sickness



Acute mountain sickness is an illness that can affect mountain climbers, hikers, skiers, or travelers at high altitudes, usually above 8000 feet (2400 meters).

Symptoms

Your symptoms will also depend on the speed of your climb and how hard you push (exert) yourself. Symptoms range from mild to life-threatening. They can affect the nervous system, lungs, muscles, and heart.

In most cases, symptoms are mild. Symptoms of mild to moderate acute mountain sickness may include:

  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Dizziness or light-headedness
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Rapid pulse (heart rate)
  • Shortness of breath with exertion

Symptoms that may occur with more severe acute mountain sickness include the following and may progress to high altitude pulmonary edema or high altitude cerebral edema:

  • Blue color to the skin (cyanosis)
  • Chest tightness or congestion
  • Confusion
  • Cough
  • Coughing up blood
  • Decreased consciousness or withdrawal from social interaction
  • Gray or pale complexion
  • Inability to walk in a straight line, or walk at all
  • Shortness of breath at rest
source :


Since other symptoms are not mentioned in the Quran, it cannot be a statement based on personal experience. It is surprising to highlight the most important common symptom of space travel, air travel and climbing high mountains.**






  • Speed of ascent: Getting to a higher altitude quickly increases your risk of developing altitude sickness. People who fly to high altitudes rather than walk, hike or drive are much more likely to develop it. Above 8,000 feet, you should ascend no more than 1,640 feet (500 meters) per day.

High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema that occurs in otherwise healthy people at altitudes typically above 2,500
 meters (8,200 ft).




This is because the higher one goes up into the sky, the lesser atmospheric pressure and the lesser oxygen is there.

If man goes up to a height of 10,000 feet above sea level, he feels decrease of both oxygen and atmospheric pressure. If he goes higher up to 16,000 feet high, his pulse increases and so do his breathing and blood pressure, in order to provide his body with the necessary oxygen.

If, however, he goes up higher to 25,000 feet high, his body fails to cope with such an unfamiliar height. So what happens? Certain symptoms begin to show.

If, however, man goes up more than 25,000 feet high, he loses consciousness. That is why planes that fly higher than 40,000 feet high are provided with eight times as much air as they are on the Earth’s surface, so as to make the pressure in them equal that on the Earth’s surface; otherwise passengers would lose consciousness.

about Quran 6:125


With classical Arabic it is necessary to look at the root of the word to get a clear picture. We can still use the English language to explain. The Arabic will give you a clearer picture and verse could be understood better, similar to how people in 7th century Arabia understood the verse. Maybe it is best to simply say maybe I misunderstood this 7th century text using a different, limited language. It may not have anything to do with scientific facts. It is giving a similitude of believing in God and being guided verses not being guided and being lead astray.

  1. Whoever Allah (God) wants to guide
  2. He expands his CHEST to Islam
    1. The word here is yaShrH - to expand, to enlarge,
      1. Quran uses this word to explain guidance as in expanding and giving guidance to Moses when he supplicated in Surah Taha.
      2. The Quran states: “So is one whose chest Allah (God) has expanded to Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah. Those are in manifest error (Az-Zumar:22)
    2. The word here is sadru - root is Sad-Daal-Raa
      1. The Qur’an has called itself shifaa-ul lima fis sudoor: that is, a “cure for what is in your chest (i.e. your heart)”(Quran 10:57). According to your translation it would read cure for breasts?? It could be confusing the the English reader.
      2. The Quran states “So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within sudur (chest area).”
  3. Whoever He wants to send astray, He makes his CHEST TIGHT/CLOSES and CONSTRICTED.
    1. The word here is again sadru - look at the Arabic lexicon if you don’t realize the above.
    2. The next word used is dayyqan - to become narrow. Become choked or straitened.
    3. The next word used is harajan - to constrict, to cause someone to fall into a straight or difficulty.
  4. As though he were climbing into the sky.
    1. This is the similitude given to PAINT A PICTURE.

**Air pressure decreases as you increase in altitude. Your chest will feel constricted and tight. At high altitudes, the lower air pressure makes it more difficult for oxygen to enter our vascular systems.

5. Thus does Allah (God) place defilement upon those who do not believe

Does not necessarily mean a scientific miracle. It is a fact to paint a picture.
So in fact the verse paints a perfect picture by using the polar opposite

To summarize:

This is perfect explanation for those who are guided by affirming and negating.

  • Affirmation- They will be guided and the will have inner peace by expansion of their chest. It will be a relief for them.
  • For those that don’t will feel things are constrained, difficult, and have a narrow existence.
  • Similar to a the one climbing the sky.

I have to ask. Climbing the sky takes time. As we age and become older, and we don’t believe in a God, wouldn’t our lives feel constrained and difficult? You just grow old, do some good, have a family, and die. As we grow older we would always ask. Is that all there is to life?
