Mention of atoms in the Quran

 In this blog, I have written about some of the verses of the Quran which tell us about the existence of atoms.

English Translation of Verse 7 of Surah Az-zalzala

So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it.

English Translation of Verse 8 of Surah Az-zalzala

And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.

Explanation

                     These are only some of the verses of the Holy Quran which precisely describe the existence of atoms when science at the time was not even familiar with the concept of atoms. The atomic theory was developed in the 19th century, and it kept on evolving to what we know today that

"Atom is the smallest particle of matter that takes part in a chemical reaction."

      Atom consists of subatomic particles as well like electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks and anti-quarks. If you read the first verse written above you could see that it is written 'Not ˹even˺ an atom’s weight is hidden from your Lord on earth or in heaven; nor anything smaller or larger than that'. This part of the verse not only tells us about the existence of particles smaller than atoms (subatomic particles) but also tells about particles larger than atoms which could mean molecules and other forms of matter which we see in our surroundings but only Allah knows best. These verses leave us with no doubt that the Quran is the book of Allah sent to the Prophet Muhammad SAW for our guidance and it also contains accurate scientific facts for people of wisdom and knowledge so they can ponder upon Allah Almighty's greatness.

Verse of the Quran in which Allah mentions subatomic particles.

 In this blog, I have written about the verse of the Quran in which Allah mentions  subatomic particles.

Translation of Third Verse of Surah Saba

The disbelievers say, “The Hour will never come to us.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Yes—by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen—it will certainly come to you!” Not ˹even˺ an atom’s weight is hidden from Him in the heavens or the earth; nor anything smaller or larger than that, but is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.

Explanation

       In this Verse of Surah Saba, Allah tells about the existence of particles even smaller than atoms, and today, Physics has proven this fact what Allah told Muslims 14 centuries ago in the Quran. Atoms are composed of subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, neutrons, etc., which are further composed of quarks and anti-quarks. This is the greatness of Allah and his knowledge. It testifies that the Quran is the Word of Allah and Prophet Muhammad SAW is his messenger. Otherwise, no one at that time could have this much knowledge to know all of this but Allah the creator of everything.

   Another thing which is noteworthy in this verse of the Holy Quran is that it is written that not anything smaller or larger than an atom's weight is hidden from Allah. It means that we should do more and more good deeds, fear Allah, and refrain from bad deeds because Allah knows and is recording everything. We will be held accountable for all our deeds, either smaller than an atom's weight or even larger than that on the day of Judgment, so do not face any problem on that day, we should do as many good deeds as possible and keep on seeking forgiveness from Allah for our sins no matter how small or large.
