The Meteorites and the end of life
The meteorites are small cold planetoids objects thousands
of them travelling the space closer to the Earth. Their sizes are variable between less than a
meter to thousands of meters as big as large mountains. The meteorites move from right to the north
like the moon around the Earth because the Earth is a hot planet. There
are many larger objects travel the space and come closer to Earth on regular
intervals. Many times over the history
in the past the Earth was hit by very large objects and at least to the present
knowledge there was one time it caused the vanishing of life on the Earth for
many years.
Every single day there is at least an estimate of 40,000
tons of dust and stones of these meteorites fall on the Earth. Most of these objects contain iron and some
other minerals. In fact this is very
interesting point about the descent of the Iron from the sky. The scientist believe today that the Iron was
initially formed outside the solar system as the atom of iron to be formed
required an energy equal to four times the total energy of the solar system as
a whole! The scientists consider that
the iron is a mysterious metal that have come from outside the solar
system. The descent of the iron was
mentioned in the Holy Quran 1400 years ago:
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 messengers: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might
(and able to enforce His Will) The Holy Quran: 57:26. It is interesting to note that the number of
the Sura (chapter) in the Holy Quran is 57 which is the atomic weight for the
iron while the number of the versus (the iyat) is 26 which is the atomic number
of the iron. The chapter 57 in the Holy
Quran called (Al Hadied) or the iron!
The Holy Quran mentioned the meteorites as (Kisafan) which
means pieces in chapter 34 versus 19: See they not what is before them and
behind them, of the sky and the earth? If We wished, We could cause the earth
to swallow them up, or cause a piece from the sky to fall upon them. Verily in
this is a Sign for every devotee that turns to Allah (in repentance). The
latest meteorite was the one which fall on the Ural region in Russia on Friday
15 February 2013 which was around 300 tons weight and equal to about 30 nuclear
weapon of the one used by the USA against Hiroshima! If this meteorite was directly hit the Earth
it would have caused the disappearance of the life on earth for thousands of
years or even forever. However it was
exploded for long distance before it reaches the earth! In future the only one who knows what will
happen is Allah almighty and He knows how is going to be the end of the
earth.
If you want to know more about what the Holy Quran says
about the end of the world and the fate of the earth, the moon, the mountains,
the oceans, the stars and the mankind then reads the Holy Quran and you will
see what Allah says about these and more than this and beyond that.
