QURAN DESCRIBES THE MODERN MATERILOGICAL
PHENOMENON OF RAIN AND HAIL

The Quran has twice claimed in most explicit terms to
contain all knowledge that concerned humanity. And has challenged the world to
produce a chapter like it, when I was asked that Quran
was not the book of science, it was only the book of religion. How therefore,
the treatment of the subjects like atomic science, the atomic bombs and atomic
radiations could be expected in a book religion. To which my answer
was that the Quran is a book of a religion but
a perfect and complete religion answering every thing that was concerned
with humanity. If the destruction of the habitations of Sodom and
Gomorrah received a mention in the Quran, while these
habitations were no more than a negligible part of a modern city, how then the
mention of a destroyer which would not leave so much as a blade of grass unburnt from one end of the world to the other, could be
ignored without damaging the claim to universality. The Quran
must be expected to give an answer to the question of atomic annihilation of
the world. Again it may be asked whether the Quran
contains the outcome of the research of modern science of meteorology. The
answer to this question is yes it does. Quran shows
this in one sign (Ayat) of about forty words. Read
the following from the Quran regarding the phenomenon
of rain and hail:-

" Hast thou not seen that Allah gently driveth
forward the clouds and gathereth them together, and
then layeth them in heaps? Thou also seeth the rain which falleth from
the midst thereof, and Allah sendeth down from
heaven, from mountains wherein there is hail, He striketh
therewith whom he pleaseth, and turneth
the same from whom he pleaseth, the brightness of His
lightening wanteth but little of taking away the
sight".

( Quran XXIV - 43 )

" Have you not seen that God
drives the clouds, then joins them together and puts them fold on fold. Then
you see the rain fall through them; and He sends down hail from the sky where
there are mountains of it, and strikes those with it whom. He will, and wards
it off from whomsoever He please. His lightning could snatch away their
eyes.

(Quran - An-Nur-43 The Light)

You have read it now, or you have
heard it. And if you pen to be a meteorologist, how much of the science of
modern meteorology you have discerned in it, so that after we have explained
it, you might compare. To most of the readers of the Quran
it is merely a matter of common observation which has been mentioned by the Quran ; whether in the translation or in the original
Arabic text of the Quran. Let this be remembered,
however, that the mysteries are revealed only in the original Arabic text and
never in the translations. it is the Arabic text of the Quran
that reveals the essence of the modern science of meteorology about the
phenomenon of rain and hail. Read the (Quran -An
Noor-43 )

In the first sight there appears to be no scientific facts of the modern
research, but by the grace of Al-mighty Allah there are scientific facts to be
revealed to those possessed of knowledge, and sincere in their faith in the Quran. The original Arabic text of the Quran
has miracles to reveal. Most complex, intricate and perplexing facts of science
and philosophy may be found in the words and mysteries discovered. To a
knowledgeable reader the world of the Quran appears
like kaleidoscopic world. The words changing their forms and clows and assuming new forms and colours,
astonishing and perplexing the poor human intellect. During my forty-year long
research in the Quran more than once I went to sleep
with satisfaction that I had exhausted the meanings of a certain sign. But next
morning to my surprise I saw the same sign blossoming with fresh flowers that
had exchanging colours and delightful fragrance.

Let it be remembered that the modern science of meteorology is of recent
origin, while the Quran was revealed fourteen
centuries ago. if therefore the discoveries of the modern meteorology are found
in the Quran, there remains no doubt about the divine
original of the Quran, and the Quran
deserves to assume a unique place among the divine scriptures.

We will now interpret the sign (ayat) of the Quran in the light of all the latest discoveries of science
in the field of meteorology. it is generally observed by the Non-muslims, that whenever a discovery of science appears, the
Muslims prop up the Quran saying, Lo! here is it
written in the Quran, why the muslims
cannot find these facts from the Quran before the
discovery is declared by science. The answer to this objection is, that firstly
the Quran is not the text book of science to teach
the people the technique of producing the things that are produced by the
science, rather the Quran observes and regulates the
entire life of humanity, every aspect of it. Therefore the Quran
has its own style of treating the subject of pure science. Secondly the Quran would not like the appearance of certain things or
their wrong use in order to keep the humanity safe from the noxious effects
thereof. Therefore the Quran treats such subjects of
science in its peculiar manner. For instance the Quran
has treated the atomic science, the entire essence of the subject, but has not
taught to build the atomic bombs. Thirdly, if the Quran
had explained the inventions of science as we see them today and had used the
terms as we hear them today, it is not difficult to imagine that the hearers of
that time, would have stampeded away thrusting their fingers in their
ears, yelling, " How impossible, how nonsensical, away, away to your
rational creed, the creed of our fathers". The fate of Islam was thus no
hidden secret. And it was a miracle of the Quran, to
say a thing comprehensible and appealing to its first hearers, and conceal
within the same language that could answer all that was to come in time in any
form, scientific, philosophic, economical, social. Yet let it be understood
that the corroboration of the Quran and science is a
topic fraught with imminent dangers. Science changes while the Quran is constant. Once said, for-ever said. The
corroborator therefore must have thorough knowledge of science, to discern the
established facts from more theories and hypotheses, and should at the same
time have the thorough knowledge of the Quran to its
real mind. Otherwise there is a great possibility of wrecking the reputation of
the Quran, and making this word of God about of
ridicule, unrecking at the same time the doom of the
corroborator himself. I have seen many a corroborator that blundered in this
field and fell from the cliff's to the vale of ignominy. God save us from such
a doom. I myself am a corroborator, but I weigh a thing a hundred times and
pass many a sleepless nights before I find courage to pen a single fact or to
bring it on record. Yet I pray to Allah, the Merciful to guide me aright in
this hazardous field and let me have no personal or other consideration, and
forgive any slip of fall. I am obliged to take to this field for no other
reason than that it has become the inevitable necessity of these days.
Otherwise the early authentic commentators of the Quran
have left no point unambiguous.

Now let us revert to our topic in the name of Allah the Benign, the Merciful.
Allah says:-

"(Alam Tara). Has thou not seen?"
This question was first posed to the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) and his
contemporary Arabs. Now it could be posed to the meteorologist. This is the
marvelous feature of the All-time and eternal Quran.

Then :-

"( Annallaha Yuzji )
That is God drives. It is to contradict the view of those who think that the
laws of nature work on their own, or that the whole affair of creation is
accidental only. Here the God asserts his complete control of the Phenomenon.

Then (Yuzji Sahaban). (Sahab) means a cloud, but the derivatives formed on its
root (sahaba)
give the meanings as, to drive along, to drag along, to withdraw, to recall, to
retract etc. The modern meteorological science on this point says, "
Previous to a thunderstorm, the clouds are in great commotion. Great masses
being torn asunder, others uniting together. These clouds being
electrified, some more some less strongly, act inductively on one another, and
if a piece happens to be torn away with more than its fair share of electricity
that has been induced into it, it may soar away intensely electrified, several
such pieces may unite to form a big cloud.

Then The Quran says:-

" (Thumma
Yuallifu Bainahu) That is
thereafter affects between the different parts of the cloud a harmony and
achieves affinity between them. Generally it is translated as "and gathereth them together". In order to know what sort
of harmony and affinity is affected and achieved between the various parts of
the cloud let us read the following from the science of meteorology.

" To achieve the coalescence of the minute spherules of water into fallable rain drops, a proper electrical affinity, between
a particle and a particle within the cloud and further, within the cloud and
the earth has to be achieved. In the presence of a strong positive charge
in the cloud the SPHERULES WOULD TEND TOWARDS SEPARATION, EXCLUDING ANY
POSSIBILITY OF THEIR COALESCENCE. A charge of milder sort in the vicinity
has been found to be helpful for the desired coalescence for the spherules into
rain drops. The necessity of the ELECTRIC POTENTIAL and hence the electricity
itself, having thus been established a slight ACIDIFICATION of the cloud water
is to be UNDERSTOOD as a means to impart conductivity to the water, which in a
state of its purity is a bad conductor of electricity".

Let the great masters of Chemistry read these chemical processes explained by
the Quran.

Then the Quran says:-

" (Thumma Yajaluhu rukaaman). That is then "layeth them in heaps". Let us read what the modern
meteorological science says about the heaping up of the cloud. It says:-

" When the vapour in the air is condensed not
through contact with cold bodies, but through the cooling of a mass of vapour -ladden air, then a cloud
is formed. A cloud consists of fine drops of water. if it be near the ground it
is called mist or fog. it would at the outset seem impossible to classify or
account for the myriads of forms of the cloud, but when we come to observe and
watch them closely, two main types of cloud-forms assert themselves. Those
which appear in fillowy well-defined shapes, and
those which spread over the heavens in a layer thick or thin, partial or
complete. The former of these is called CUMULUS, a Latin word meaning HEAP, the
latter STRATUS, a Latin word meaning A LAYER. These names are due to LUKE
HORWARD (1802) and have been used by all cloud observers since his time. The
meteorological science is of recent origin. It developed within the centuries
of this modern age. Luke Horward (1802) first used
the Terms CUMULUS and STRATUS".

The Quran has anticipated him by centuries. The word Rukaaman which the Quran has used
means exactly the CUMULUS. So far as the Term STRATUS is concerned, the Quran has used it in another sign (verse) about the very
same topic.

The sign that is :
" Allah is He who sendeth the wind
so that they raise clouds, and spreadeth them along
the sky as pleaseth Him. And forms them in layers,
and thou seest the rain downpouring
from within them".

(Quran XXX - 48 )

" It is God who sends the breezes that raise clouds, then spreads them
over the sky as He please, fold on fold, then you see the drops of rain issue
from between them. When He sends it down to those of His creatures as He will,
they are filled with joy".

(Quran The Romans, 48 Reference Al-Quran translation by Ahmed Ali, Akrash
Publishing Karachi).

The actual word is (Kisafan) which means to lay in
layers, to stratify, to lay layer upon layer. It is exactly the term STRATUS,
the term of Luke Horward. Though generally it is
translated as, "causeth them to
break". It is surprising to note, that the Quran
anticipated Luke Horward (1802) by centuries. The
words of the Quran thus are not only scientific but
also prophetic.

Then the Quran says:-

(Fataral
Wadaqa Yakhruju min khilaalihi). That is : Thou seest
the rain which falleth from the midst thereof. Actual
word is (Min Khilaalihi), that is the rain is pouring
from the (khilal) of the cloud. The meaning of this
word is pin, skewer, spit. The root of this word is (khallala)
which means to acetify. Khal means
vinegar. Now the necessity of the acidification of the cloud water we have
already narrated in the previous pages. A charge of milder sort is essential to
achieve the coalescence of the spherules. The charge necessitates electricity.
But pure water is a bad conductor of electricity. it is necessary therefore to
acetify the water to endue water with the quality of conductivity. Thus the
role of the word (khilal ) in the phenomenon
becomes clear, to mean that no (khilal) meant no
rain, and therefore no life on earth.

The Quran further says:-

(wa yunazzilu min assamaae min jibaalin fiha min bardin) That is:- "And Allah sendeth
down from heaven, from mountains wherein there is hail". First imagine a
cloud like a mountain of hail. How beautiful is the mountain of white pearls
and how exact but Novel is the simile. But the point which attracts our
attention is hidden in the word (jibaal) which means
mountains. The root of this word is (jabala) which
means to kneed. Perhaps the most astonishing discovery of the modern
meteorological science is that no mist nor fog could be formed, unless there
were present in the vapour-laden air particles of
dust or sand to act as the nucleus for the spherules of water that constitute
the fog. This has been proved, since air filtered through cotton wool, has no
tendency towards fog formation. The hail pellets likewise have been found to
have been built around a spec of dust acting as their Nucleus, a process in
distinction from that of the formation of snow. Now let us see the
word (jibaal) that is mountains used by the Quran.
The word Jibaal has been derived from the
root-verb (jabala) which means to kneed. Then imagine a cloud of rain
or of hail, wherein every spherule has a spec of dust or sand though invisible
to naked eye. Certainly the cloud appears like a mountain made of dust
particles kneeded with water. Remarkable also is the
role of mountains in the formation of rain.

Now in the end it maybe asked that the Quran in this
phenomenon has made no mention of the great role played by the air. It is the
air that carries the moisture, and it is the air that wafts the clouds. without
the air no rain would have been possible. The question takes our thought to another
sign (ayat) of the Quran
which is identical with the sign which we are discussing, and has mentioned the
role of air. In the previous pages we have alluded to sing just read:-

(Quran-Alarum -48)

(Allah-u-lazi
yursilu-arriaha fatuseeru sahaban). That is " He is Allah who sendeth the winds, so that they raise clouds".

( Quran XXX-48 )

The Quran's challenge, "Bring ye a chapter like
unto it" stands good for every age, including this age of science. The
knowledge of science shown by the Qruan is such
that no scientist will ever think of being an equal to or like the Quran, the amazing word of Allah, the God of the worlds.

THE
PRESENT STATE OF ATOMIC
SCIENCE

People's infinite faith and confidence in science, and boundless optimism of
the scientist in the future possibilities of nuclear science are no more than dreams
whose interpretation is no other than the utter atomic ruin of this world in
the flames of the atomic hell. The atomic science has approached the blind. No
protection is possible against the atomic bomb. Nor there is any possibility of
providing any means of protection to the neighbouring
districts of the reactor, against radiations of the exploding reactors. No
leak-proof and explosion-proof reactors have been designed. Any reactor can
leak or explode any moment and innundate the neighbouring districts with ruinous radiations. In fact
every reactor has to end its natural life of forty years in explosion.

Radiation is invisible, undetectable and the deadliest of poison. It can kill
on the spot,

or after a few days of radiation
sickness, and it produces cancer. The worst features of radiation, however, are
its genetic effects that are irreversible and irreparable. Radiation mutates
genes. The mutated gene is transferred from generation to generation secretly,
till in some future generation it manifests its existence in the form of
abnormal birth. This abnormality being inheritable, the monster begets alike
monsters. The kinds of abnormalities being increased through marriage,
considerable proportions of populations are involved in abnormalities, and the
animals and plants sharing the same destiny, populations after existing as
monstrous cancer-ridden-chimeras, that is animals with a medley of organs of
various animals assembled in one animal, would
perish in misery. This may amount to complete extinction of life on earth, and
nothing could be done.

Atomic radiation is harmful to health in any amount, and radiation is inherent
in atomic energy. There is no protection against radiation and there is no sure
cure as yet discovered for radiation sickness, nor is any in sight. Man from
the beginning to the end regarding the effects o radiation is helpless. As far
as the somatic effects of radiation are concerned, man is only a helpless
spectator from the attack of radiation to death or survival of the patient. So
also is man helpless in genetic effects of radiation. Mutated gene can neither
be detected nor destroyed. After it has manifested itself in the form of
abnormal birth there could nothing be done to the final extinction of life on this
planet. Nay, even the permissive dose of radiation is
based not on certainty. It might be erroneous and prove disastrous to mankind
ultimately. But unfortunately the experiment of radiation is such that the
result of this universal adoption of atomic-energy-for-peace, employing human
race as guinea-pigs may appear soon or after generations in the form of
destruction. Let the radiation be made innocuous first and then only
atomic-energy-for-peace recommended by the scientist to avoid universal atomic
suicide, for, the experiment or radiation is such that its result needs a
passage of generations to appear, and again this experiment is such that its
result is final. The die is finally cast. Nothing therefore could be done.
Mankind is forever lost. These things are not known to the generality of the
people. And if they are told they will not be willing to believe. Thus will
this mankind fall into the ruin through ignorance, and misunderstanding and
helplessness.

This
is the actual state to which this mankind is playing blind, both knowingly and
in helplessness. If I were a scientist I would say, move on one step further.
And the destination is there in the complete annihilation and the silence of
the grave. If I were a philosopher, I would take the tragedy philosophically. I
would analyze the affair and repeat the proverb, as you shall sow, so shall you
reap, and then fall into silence. But mine is a different role, namely to burn
myself in the flames of atomic hell in order to warn and save others.

THE END
OF BACONIAN PHILOSOPHY

No
alternative now is left for this Baconian mankind,
but either to suddenly perish under the hails of atomic bombs deservedly, or to
perish slowly, lingeringly miserably in an atmosphere of Radiation of the
atomic-energy-for-peace, deservedly. The world-wide monuments of science, appearingly so formidable, so deep-rooted, can vanish as if
by the magic wand in the event of atomic war, or they could be left deserted as
a memorial of the follies of a race after life on earth has become extinct
through the radiation of the atomic-energy-for-peace. This Baconian
progress will now see its end. If atomic energy is banned, this progress will
come to its end because of no energy. If atomic energy is adopted it will bring
about the destruction of this progress. And judge not the situation at present
when but a few reactors function throughout the world. This earth in the future
age of atomic-energy-for-peace will be found covered with the constant bonfire
of radiations of exploding reactors when every power-house, factory, ship, aeroplane , railway engine, even every private car will be
fitted with independent reactor, for, atomic energy only and no other
kind of energy will be available then in this world.

And
look at this universal experiment of adopting the atomic energy on the
principle of utility-cum-research, in which human species is being employed as
guinea-pigs, while no protection is there against the eternally and universally
ruinous effects of radiations. It is certainly to end in complete ruin of life
on earth after a miserable spell of existence of sick, cancer-ridden and
monstrous species of animals and plants on earth. And once this mankind has
adopted the atomic energy, and radiation has started its effects, then even
abandoning it will be of no avail, for, its long-term genetic effects will
bring about the ruin of life on earth. The dispersal of radioactive materials
on earth will render this earth inhabitable and unable to grow any thing for
millions of years. If the people of this world had known these facts and had
imagination strong enough to form a picture of
the miseries and afflictions of mankind that resulted from the adoption of the
atomic-energy-for-peace, then the scene would appear to them as a herd of mad
lunatics worse than the Darwinian brood, and there is no doubt that they would
rush out tearing their garments, yelling and crying toward wilderness. I can
see the state of future mankind in a picture far clearer than the picture of
that universe which appeared in Einstein's' mind, and yet, if I persist in a
composed state of mind, it is a marvel I carry this mountain like a mountain,
and it is only due to the grace of Almighty Allah. O! Ungrateful mankind ! Pay heed to my word and be saved. I am telling you
that which you cannot know after a life passed in Universities. My reward is
with my Allah. My request to you is only to utilize this invaluable light.

I
only have to make a request to the atomic scientist namely that let not this
atomic energy be given into the service of mankind, until means of protection
are provided to the millions living in the neighborhood of reactors, and,
radiation is subjected to control, and sure cure for radiation sickness and
means of detecting and destroying the mutated genes are discovered. Let the
scientist realize that he is guilty of gross violation of the general rules of
the methodology of science in giving a harmful natural force into man's service
before any control on it. For this capital felony the scientist may be sued in
the court of science, and the sentence would be only equal to the dire
consequences of his neglect, a neglect whose consequence may certainly amount
to burning, all mankind alive against the burning alive of one Scientist,
namely Bruno. If however, any scientist in this
world would think of the facts given by me in any way false, exaggerated or
having in any way a resemblance of the views of the alarmist, let him speak,
for I will give no one a chance of hiding. This is a question of life and death
of mankind and so it is to me, and now no more fooling and no more folly. Let
the matter be cleared, for the margin left is too narrow. Call it a request, a
demand, command, a challenge or anything that you wish. This mankind is being
cheated out of its life, deservedly though. It is my duty to warn this world in
the light of the Quran and science, and I will grudge
nothing. I am willing to go to any extreme. Death incurred for this cause, or
persecution is worth the cause. Stand up ! Therefore
and answer before you are flung into the roaring flames of the atomic hell. I
am no victim of hallucinations. It is noting hallucinatory in that which I have
ever uttered. I stand on the solid grounds of knowledge and on the bottom rock
of truth. But if the gravity of the theme, that renders
me anxious, even panicky due to my apprehensions of the deafness and blindness
of the present generation to my case, if this world does not appear grateful
for my pains, it might hurt my feelings, yet it cannot affect my sense of duty
and my mission. If I die, and am destined to have a grave, my grave will cry
against this play of atomic ruin of mankind. May my Allah help me in my ordeal. It is too heavy for me. And remember it is not only
the matter of this transient world. If it had been so, I perhaps had assumed
reticence in the face of unrelenting opposition and died heart-broken. Nay, but
this atomic problem is extended to the external world. There the eternal atomic
hell called by the Quran as Hotama
awaits those who deservedly perished in this world in the atomic hell, or
deserved but escaped, for, the causes of the appearance of this temporal atomic
hell, and those of the punishment in eternal Hotama of the next world are the same. And thus even if
this temporal atomic hell is avoided, it is not possible to escape the eternal Hotama of the next world. That is what makes me panicky,
for, I have a firm faith in resurrection.

I
AM RECOMMENDED BY AL-KHEDHR TO ABRAHAM FOR ABRAHAMIC MISSION.

It
was in 1942 in my 25th year, four years after Iqbal's
death that in Mussayyib a place near Baghdad
I was in a dream recommended by Al-Khedhr for the Abrahamic Mission to Abraham (peace be upon them both). I
also saw the tree of Sidratul- Muntaha
in the dream. This is tree in seventh heaven and is the repository of
scriptures, and is the abode of Angel Gabriel. I at that time could only read
the Quran without knowing any meaning. But a state of
prepossession has since held me constantly engaged always in study without a
teacher. It has been a lengthy gruesome ordeal and the result is a treat of
knowledge unknown in all human history. Throughout I was whipped from problem
to problem and stage to stage till the destination appeared
in 1982. To me it was a 40 year long process in which I was continually
skinned alive. Languages, literatures, histories, philosophies, sciences,
Scriptures, Quran and Bible I read year after year
and absorbed the essence threreof mentally without a
teacher or a school. Languages and literatures were interesting. Histories had
lessons. Philosophies afforded great mental exercise and imparted wisdom,
sciences were realistic, Scriptures deserved reverence
and furnished light. In my mental light over the modern west, I saw Bacon
twisting and interchanging the roots of natural philosophy and moral philosophy
under the tree of life. And I thought of the devils's
seduction of Adam. Then I descried Darwin
groping in the depth of the history seeking origin of life, and I thought that
seeking the end was more essential. Then I saw Einstein engrossed in his
universe of relativity, and as I introduced Omniscient, Omnipresent God as
observer, Einsteinious universe of relativity
vanished. I sensed the spirit of Spinoza lurking in the background of
Einstein's mind. I started writing in 1972 till now by the Grace of Almighty Allah,
my most modest claim if I would be obliged to make a claim about my work is,
that all the philosophers and scientists of this modern age combined would find
it hard to produce. What I have indeed by the Grace of Allah produced
single-handed. And remember that my expected difficulties oblige me to take to
such boisterous rants, which should be ignored. And my work is open for
critical study. My ordeal, however, was too painful to be described by a Bunyan
or a Dante, and my mental psychology too complex to be analyzed by a Freud or a
Jung. Albeit what I have a reason to fear is the difficult nature of my theme,
and the horrible state of the universal environment in which I see myself fallen . Absence of means might ruin my prospect among this
intoxicated and doomed generation, thus ruining the aspect of the entire
mankind. But I must leave that matter into the hands of my Allah and say, God
is great. I have given the light to this world about how to escape the atomic
doom and I have covered the future, post-Baconian
age, and have given an Islamic economic system for the coming age. This
particular economic system will counteract the economic system of Communism and
Capitalism. My works will be the light of the next age. Praised be Allah. the most high, Most merciful.
