Iron is a metal that is essential for human civilization but is not naturally occurring on Earth. The Quran correctly stated over 1400 years ago that iron came from outer space. Scientists have since discovered that billions of years ago, meteoroids containing iron hit Earth. Additionally, only massive ancient stars could generate enough heat to produce iron, which was then dispersed throughout the solar system during supernova explosions. The Quran's mention of iron originating from space predates this scientific discovery.

11. Iron
• No one can deny the benefits of irons. Iron
is the metal that has given the strength to
give benefits to human beings. In Islam,
there are almost 9 verses in Holy Quran
that have the name of iron. Surah Al-
Hadid verse 25 has explained that Allah
has blessed the people with iron that has
many benefits for the human beings.

12. Iron
• For the people of today iron is a metal that is
found on earth. However, it is the scientists
who have come to find the original source of
iron as per which iron is not a metal of this
earth rather it came from space. Quran says
about iron in the following way:

13. Iron did not form on Earth and came from outer space mentioned in QURAN
1400 years ago discovered by Astronomers recently:
• And We also sent down Iron in which there
lies great force and which has many uses for
mankind…” (Quran 57:25)

14. Iron
• From this ayah it is clear that the metal iron
was sent down by Allah Almighty, hence it is
not something of this world that grew or
formed in it. According to scientists, billions of
years ago meteoroids hit earth and these
meteoroids came with the metal iron which
then dispersed and immersed in different
parts of the earth. Hence, in this regard as
well, the saying of Quran predates scientific
factual discovery.

15. Iron
• Astronomical findings have disclosed that the Iron found in
our world has come from giant stars in outer space. Not only
the iron on earth, but also the iron in the entire Solar System,
comes from outer space, since the temperature in the Sun
is inadequate for the formation of iron. The sun has a surface
temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius, and a core
temperature of approximately 20 million degrees. Iron can
only be produced in much larger stars than the Sun, where
the temperature reaches a few hundred million degrees.
When the amount of iron exceeds a certain level in a star, the
star can no longer accommodate it, and it eventually explodes
in what is called a “nova” or a “supernova.” These explosions
make it possible for iron to be given off into space.
