THE UNIQUE NATURE OF THE CHAPTER IRON

The Quran contains 114 chapters and all the chapters are named. Among the chapters of the Quran is Chapter Iron (Surah al-Hadid). The Chapter Iron is the 57th chapter of the Quran. The word al-Hadid is spelt in Arabic as: (Alif, Lam,Ha, Da, Ya, Dal)

الْحَدِيدَ

Before the ninth century, the Arab did not have any specific number and they used two system of counting. One of the system is by using the gematical values of the Arabic alphabets.



Alif is 1,Lam is 30, Ha is 8, Dal is 4, Ya is 10 and another Dal is 4. The total (alif+lam+ha+dal+ya+dal) is 57. Is is just by coincident that the Chapter number is 57 and the total of the sum of (alif+lam+ha+dal+ya+dal) is 57. If you thik that it is just by coincident, consider the word hadid only حَدِيد

The word hadid means iron and if you add the value of the arabic alphabet (ha+dal+ya+dal) the sum is 26. Now count the name Allah in the Chapter al-Hadid from verse 1 to verse 25.


The number of time the word Allah from verse 1 to the end of the verse 25 appear is 26 times. Although the chapter contains more that 25 verses, only the word Allah from verse 1 to the end of the verse 25 is counted because verse 25 is the verse where the word al-hadid appear in the chapter and in this verse, the Quran describe the nature of iron which is strong and alot of benefit for humanbeing. What is the significance of the number 26? To know this, look at the periodic table



Please look at the element ferum (Fe) . What is the atomic number of iron (Fe) isn't is 26. Is it just a mere coincident that the number of the word Allah is 26 time appeared from the 1st verse till the end of the verse 25th and the word sum of the value of the alphabet (ha+dal+ya+dal) is 26. If you think that it is just by coincident, you should add up all the chapter number from the 1st chapter to the 57th chapter (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10++++++++........+57). The sum is 1653. How many verse are there in the Chapter al-Hadid?. Isn't is 29 verse?. Now get your calculator machine and multiply 57 X29. Isn't it also 1653. Do you still it happened just by coincident?

Why does the Quran says "We send down iron"

This is indeed peculiar claim by the Quran that iron was "send down". Did iron fell down to the earth just like rain falls to the earth from the sky. Verse 25 Chapter Iro says that.



English (Yusuf Ali): (Recite)57:25 We sent aforetime our apostles with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help, Unseen, Him and His apostles: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might (and able to enforce His Will).
