Gabriel's extinguishing the atomic hell series.
Volume V
QURAN VERSUS THE UNSCIENTIFIC PHILOSOPHY OF THE SCIENTIST
By the infinite grace and boundless mercy of Allah, this
series of volumes is my original work. The application of
scientific facts, and the new discoveries from the Quran are
all my own and quite unknown to anyone, anywhere, Muslims or
non-Muslims. And for that, the most benign and merciful
Allah be praised, for ever, eternally. And thus is all the
responsibility mine. And again Allah be praised, and it is
my conviction that it will save the mankind from atomic
doom.

stars..............Universe” (M.U.) (page 1). The
incomparably large size of the stars in comparison with the
inseparably small size of the earth, the innumerably large
number of the stars. And the resultant insignificance of our
earth. The relative views of the Quran on the topic.
Section (ii) (b) “This vast...............distance”. (M.U)
(page 1)
The unimagined a spaciousness and vacuity of space. Each
star to voyage as if an empty ocean. The relative views of
the Quran on the topic.
Section (ii) (c) “We believe...........is one: (M.U.) Page
(1-2). The presumed hypothesis of the separation of earth
from the sun. The relative views of the Quran in this
context.
Section (ii) (d) "The sun..............enshrined". (M.U.)
(Page 2)
The unsuitability of the heavenly bodies as the abode of
life. The appearance of life on earth. The ignorance of the
scientist as to how, why or when thereof. The appearance of
life on earth and its subsequent development to its present
stage. The relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (e) “Although .......to life”. (M.U) (page 2-3)
This universe terrifying to the unscientific philosopher.
The relative viewed of the Quran.
Section (ii) (f) “Into such.........space” (M.U.) (page
304). The probability of life being as accidental and the
product of blind play of chance. The example of blindly
strumming monkeys on typewriters happening to type off a
Shakespeare sonnet. The relative views of the Quran on the
topic.
Section (ii) (g)” This rarity..................state”. (M.U.)
(Page 4) The rarity of planetary systems, and the resultant
diminutive character of life. The necessity of a particular
range of temperature for the appearance of life. The
relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (h) “The stars...... boil”. (M.U) (page 4)
General unsuitability of the thermal conditions for the
appearance of life in space, which is either too cold or too
hot to allow the appearance fl life. The relative views of
the Quran regarding the topic.
Section (ii) (i) “Life can.................possible” (M.U.)
(page 4-5) The number of and the areas of the zones in space
in which life is thermally possible far too small. Their
existence too scanty and space. So also the scarcity of the
planets existing within these zones. Thus the material
insignificance of life in the universe. The relative views
of the Quran.
Section (ii) (j) “Just for.......line”.(M.U.) (page 5) The
apparent lack of material proportion between the magnitude
of the mechanism that is the universe, and the resulting
output that is life and argument to deny the probability of
the universe on having primarily designed to produce life
like our own. The relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (k) “We do not..................biology”. (M.U.
(Page 5-6) whether suitable physical conditions only enough
for the appearance of life or not known. The material
constituents of a living body ordinary chemical atoms. All
these existed on the new born earth. The probability of the
atoms to have arranged themselves in the way they are found
arranged in a living cell. Whether a skilful chemist could
create life out of necessary atoms or not, not known. The
answer to this question liable to produce greater revolution
of thought than that produced by Galilee's astronomy or
Darwin’s biology. The relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (l) “We do however.......molecules” (M.U.(Page
6-7) The particular capacity of the atoms of the living body
for coagulating into extraordinarily large molecules. Yet
mot atoms devoid of such a capacity. The role of carbon atom
in producing life. Not the vital force as previously
thought, but the ordinary element carbon to distinguish the
matter of living bodies. The relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (m) “If this is no....it”. (M.U) (page 7).
The existence of life due to particular capacity of the
carbon atom, namely its power to bind other atoms together.
The reason of this particular property of carbon not yet
fathomed by the mathematical physics. The relative views of
the Quran.
Section (ii) (n) “Other similar.......why”. (M.U) page 7-8)
Other similar cases of peculiar properties of certain atoms
containing a definite number of electrons known to
Chemistry. The example of magnetism, and radio-activity. The
reason of this peculiarity not yet unravelled by the
mathematical physic. The relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (o) “Thus chemistry.......governed”. (M.U.)
(Page 8) The extent of the knowledge of Chemistry respecting
this peculiarity of atoms limited to the existence of a
certain definite number of electrons in atoms. Chemistry at
present can only ell to place life in the same category as
magnetism, and radio-activity. The universe built to operate
according to certain laws. The numbers of electrons of the
atoms and the consecutive properties thereof appearing in
various phenomena, such as life, magnetism, and
radio-activity. The Omnipotent Creator subject to no
limitation whatsoever. The probabilities of atoms which
certain other number of electrons to show certain other
priorities is another type of a universe. Chemistry to
suggest a probability that of life being an accidental
consequence of the special set of laws that govern the
present universe. The relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (p)”Again .Universe”. (M.U) (page 8-9) The word
accidental, it is feared, may be challenged. The present set
of laws might have been elected with a predetermined view of
creating life. The suggestion of a dismissal of the
anthropomorphic attributes respecting the Creator of
universe in order to expel any notion of a special interest
in life on the part of the Creator of this grand universe.
The relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (q) “A trivial.............universe”. (P.U.
page 9-10) The analogy between knots in maritime operations
and the material activity of life in comparison to the total
material activity of the universe. Both insignificant alike.
Hence life to claim no special interest of the Creator.
Magnetism or radio-activity on the other handstand in a
better position to claim the special interest of the
Creator, due to far greater material activity of physics
than biology in the universe. The relative views of the
Quran.
Section (ii) ® “So much for.....race". (M.U)) (Page 10) The
bewilderment caused to the unscientific philosopher by the
thought of origin of life and the purpose of means existence
or the destiny while fate had in store for human race. The
relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (s) : “Life of .......upset”. (M.U. (page 10)
The balance of the suitable conditions of life, its possible
derangement an easy matter. The derangement thereof to cause
the disappearance of life. The relative views of he Quran.
Section (ii) (t): “Primitive............life”. (M.U) page
10) The terror caused to the primitive man by the fast
descending ice-age on earth. The universe to seem hostile to
life to the inhabitants of the present age as well. The
relative views of the Quran.
Section (ii) (u) “We of ......end”. (M.U) (page 10-11) The
threat of approaching cold and the subsequent heat-death
pass anticipated by the present generation of humanity. The
example of Tantalus. The sun losing heat. The earth moving
farther and farther away from the sun into the outer cold
and darkness of space. The life to be ultimately frozen if
not previously destroyed by some celestial collision or
cataclysm. All suns in the universe to die like ours. Life
on earth or wherever else it did exist in the universe would
vanish to meet the same inglorious end. The relative views

Introduction
The pioneers of modern atomism had intended to adopt atomism
with a determination to segregate its atheistic side and to
adopt the purely scientific side of the theory and this they
thought as possible. But time has exposed their error. The
atheistic part of atomism has certainly kept its pace
insidiously along with its scientific aspect. We have seen
how exclusively materialistic has been Bacon’s philosophy of
modern atomism, and how candidly did he throw the moral
philosophy into the shade as superfluous, unwanted, even
forbidden. The result of all the cleverness of Bacon in
moulding his worldly philosophy has justly, rightly,
logically and scientifically appeared as a burning, blazing,
roaring, and braying atomic hell for the entire mankind, nay
even all life on earth.
In this volume we will subject the science, (this modern
science) to a scrutiny. We will see how far its votaries
have adhered to the philosophic link with the peculiarly
antithesis theory of ancient Greek atomism .And we are
afraid to maintain that the loyal, philosophic minded
votaries of this modern science have continued in the
intrinsically implicit and explicit trends of ancient
atomism and have not renounced the least traces of the
peculiarly atheistic doctrinal tendencies of the 500 B.C.
philosophy. And we will also see in the light of the
discoveries of modern science, how far it has succeeded in
giving answers to religious problems and the other questions
which have haunted the human mind since times immemorial,
and on which indeed depended the future of man both in this
world and the other world. Science, however, has presented a
dismal picture. It has indeed captured some of the martial
forces of nature to provide some physical comforts to
man-----though it is ultimately stuck up in atomic
force-----but as far as the question of ultimate reality is
concerned, it is nowhere near to it. But above all else we
will bring the Quran into play all the while, and will
subject the views of science and the philosophical scientist
to its scrutiny and will know its own view regarding the
views presented.
One of our object in this work as we have said is to find a
link between the doctrines of the ancient Greek atomism, and
the modern philosophic scientist. For this purpose we have
selected a twelve page chapter by the name of “The Dying
Sun” contained in "The Mysterious Universe" of Sir James
Jeans. It is an amazingly master product of a giant
intellect, and is superb analysis of a complicated topic by
a very keen, very sublime and a very systematic mind
appearing in a compact anarchy and is a remarkable specimen
of penmanship. What greater honour is to be cherished by a
man than that a piece of his literary work be selected as an
exhibit for the scrutiny of no less a divine scripture than
the Quran itself. But the piece did deserve such a unique
honour. Sir Jeans has in his book exposed the true picture
of science as at present it appears, and has assessed its
limits and limitations in providing answers to man’s
philosophical questions. The picture no doubt is dismal yet
it is for a scientist of the calibre of Sir Jeans himself to
undertake such a study and then to do justice to it. "The
Mysterious Universe" of Sir James jeans was published in
1930. But it is a matter of regret that no James jeans arose
after 1945, that is the year in which science appeared with
its real, frightful countenance, in Hiroshima.
These twelve pages of "The Mysterious Universe" contain a
compact world of knowledge as will be seen in this work. But
more wonderful it is, that the Quran should meet the science
and the philosophy contained therein, point by point, from
the beginning to the end condemning and attesting the facts
in the manner of a dialogue, and in a way as if the Quran
anticipated the thought, even language of Sir Jeans. This
again appears as a miracle of the Quran, and as a means of
depicting the difference between the divine and human
intelligence.
Sir James Jeans has in these twelve pages tried to show how
far the modern science as seen in the light of its
discoveries could answer the general problems of philosophy
and doctrines of religion, such as, the creation, its
purpose, man’s purpose in it, its end, and thereafter. The
brief foreword of Sir James Jeans to his "Mysterious
Universe" will make the point clearer. He wrote:-
“There is a widespread conviction that the new teachings of
astronomy and physical science are destined to produce an
immense change on our outlook on the universe as a whole,
and on our views as to the significance, of human life. The
question at issue is ultimately one for philosophic
discussion, but before the philosophers have a right to
speak, science ought first to be asked to tell all she can
as to ascertained facts and provisional hypotheses. Then and
then only, may discussion legitimately pass into the realms
of philosophy".
And:
With some such thoughts as these in my mind, I wrote the
present book, obsessed by frequent doubts as to whether it
could justify an addition to the great amount which has
already been written on the subject I can claim no special
qualifications beyond the proverbially advantageous position
of the mere onlooker; I am not philosopher either by
training or inclination, and for many years my scientific
work has lain outside the arena of contending physical
theories.
And:
"The first four chapters, which form the main part of the
book, contain brief discussions, on very broad lines; of
such scientific questions as seem to be of interest, and to
provide useful material, for the discussion of the ultimate
philosophical problem. As far as possible I have avoided
over-lapping my former book “The universe around us” because
I hope the present book, may be read a sequel to that. But
an exception has been made in favour of material which is
essential to the main argument, so as to make the present
book complete in itself".
And:-
"The last chapter stands on a different level: Every one may
claim the right to draw his own conclusions from the facts
presented by modern science. The chapter merely contains the
interpretations which I, a stranger in the realms of
philosophical thought, feel inclined to place on the
scientific facts and hypotheses discussed in the main part
of the book. Many will disagree with it. It was written to
that end".
(Foreword to Mysterious Universe-Dorking 1930- J. H. Jeans)
These philosophical views which we have observed in these
twelve pages as reminiscent of the doctrinal implications of
ancient Greek atheistic atomism are not the views of a
limited coterie of scientists, or a sect of distempered
philosophers, but rather are the practical views of the
entire mankind of today, even of those who never have heard
them in their life, Nay even of those who would most
vehemently disavow them, for, these are the views that are
inherent in the spirit of the prevalent philosophy of
Baconian atomism. In time, however, if this age continues,
people will own these views openly as their belief. The
atomic cataclysm may, however, intervene, and cut the
gordian knot.
Sir James Jeans has in writing a book like “The Mysterious
Universe” rendered a great, rather invaluable service to
this modern deluded world. He has by exposing the real
situation of this modern science unveiled a picture which
none but a man of the calibre of Sir James Jeans himself
could have been able to do. He certainly has thrown this
modern science from the status of a wonder-working Goddess
down to a humble hand-maid, of course with her atomic
trident held by her. He has exposed her philosophical
limitations, and scientific incapabilties with ability and
with courage, enough to pen the hypnotised eye of mankind to
the true reality in a stark naked situation. Sir James jeans
has sadly complained of the possibility of certain passages
of his original work having been liable to misunderstanding,
misinterpretation, even misquotation in various unexpected
ways. I am quite unaware from which direction did the
criticism issue, though I am not unaware of the endless and
extreme subtleties of the subject of philosophy. On my own
part I have tried to make myself believe that the
philosophical points discussed in the 12 pages were not
essentially the conviction of Sir James Jeans or any other
particular individual, rather the philosopher has treated
the generalities as personified. Even if Sir James Jeans had
written utterly against religion, what a unique honour it
had been for a writer to happen to be the author of a human
production deemed fit to serve as an exhibit to the scrutiny
of a scripture.
And in the end let it be known, and let there be no
misunderstanding, that the entire world today, from one end
to the other, most evidently is the follower of the Baconian
philosophy of modern atomism in the practical sense of the
word, by virtue of this science as it is, and by virtue of
this progress as it is, and the end is universal ruin in the
atomic hell. And please allow me to repeat in order to save
his honour, that the thought and conclusions found in the
twelve pages of " The Mysterious Universe", that are the
subject of discussion in this our book, are not at all those
of Sir James jeans himself, but rather he has shown the
probable trends of the modern science and its capacity in
the field of philosophy. Some of these conclusions he has
explicitly negated in the last chapter of his book and we
have mentioned in this our work. The person, the mind and
the intellect of Sir James Jeans is such that is worthy of
boundless esteem and hearty respect. His book is marvel of
clarification.
