78- The News AL NABAA Meccan/
Introduction
In The Name of Allah AL-Rahman and AL-Rahim (The Merciful,) The Pagans always questioned the validity of the day of Resurrection and held it as an uncertainty. In this Surah (Chapter) Allah assures them and assures mankind of this Inevitable Day. Even then, they were still in doubt. Allah addresses His Messenger in reproach of these people and examples His omnipotence by allusion to the glowing lamp-the sun- and other cosmic phenomena. How does the sun dispense both light and heat? It is a huge ball of gases, some one million, four hundred thousand kilometers or eight hundred and sixty five thousand miles across, made up mainly of seventy five per cent hydrogen and twenty five percent helium. Its surface is a searing fifty five hundred degrees C. and within the core the temperature reaches fourteen million degrees C, hot enough for the nuclei of the hydrogen atoms to join together and make up the nuclei of the next lightest element, helium. As they do so, the reaction liberates huge amounts of nuclear energy which makes Its way up through the sun's body to emerge at the surface as sunlight and heat. its center is literally a hydrogen bomb but fortunately going on in a slow motion. Interested readers are referred to books on astronomy. But suffice it here to mention that: if things had been lust a little different at the beginning when the primordial fire ball exploded -verse 30, Chap. 21- there could have been no life nor known universe. Had expansion of the universe verse 47, chapter 51- differed by only one part in a million millionth faster or slower from what it was the universe would have diapered or collapsed respectively. Had the ratio of hydrogen to helium deviated a fraction, no stars would have evolved, and so on and so forth. See C.2-5 V.2.
