“WE(allah) SENT DOWN IRON WITH ITS GREAT INHERENT STRENGTH AND ITS MANY BENEFITS FOR HUMANKIND”[57:25]
...And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. -- Qur'an 57:25
Iron sent down? here is trying to translateDoes the world anzalnaword "anzalna"/anzala as iron. Reallyanzala" really translate to "iron"?
BUT The word anzalna/anzala is used 88 times in the Qur'an. It is also used for:
Cattle: Qur'an 39:06 Garments: Qur'an 7:26 Food/sustenance: Qur'an 10:59 Qur'an 45:05 Qur'an 2:57 Qur'an 7:160 People of the book: Qur'an 33:26 Water/rain: Qur'an 20:164 Qur'an 16:10 Qur'an 35:27 Qur'an 14:32 Qur'an 22:05 Qur'an 25:48 Qur'an 6:99 Qur'an 16:65 Qur'an 39:21 Qur'an 20:53 Qur'an 41:39 Qur'an 31:10 Qur'an 13:17 Qur'an 22:63 Qur'an 2:22 Qur'an 27:60 Qur'an 23:18 Qur'an 78:14
- Cattle: Qur'an 39:06
- Garments: Qur'an 7:26
- Food/sustenance: Qur'an 10:59 Qur'an 45:05 Qur'an 2:57 Qur'an 7:160
- People of the book: Qur'an 33:26
- Water/rain: Qur'an 20:164 Qur'an 16:10 Qur'an 35:27 Qur'an 14:32 Qur'an 22:5 Qur'an 25:48 Qur'an 6:99 Qur'an 16:65 Qur'an 39:21 Qur'an 20:53 Qur'an 41:39 Qur'an 31:10 Qur'an 13:17 Qur'an 22:63 Qur'an 2:22 Qur'an 27:60 Qur'an 23:18 Qur'an 78:14
None of these things come from outer space or heaven. Does it mean that cattle, garments, food, and the people of the book also come from supernovae? No. So, why assume that surah 57:2657:25 literally states that iron came from outer space?
