Iron Was Sent Down From Space

Once the core begins fusing iron, the process becomes unstable because fusing iron absorbs

energy rather than releasing it. At this point, the star collapses and explodes in

a supernova. The supernova scatters the elements created during the star's lifetime and generates

even heavier elements in the process. Scientists state that billions of years ago,

the Earth was struck by these meteorites. It was within these meteorites that iron was present,

and due to the explosion on Earth, we now have iron available to us. The Quran says in

Surah Al-Hadid that, "We sent down iron with its great inherent strength and its many benefits for

humankind." The Quran, as stated above, has already enlightened us of this fact
