The causes thereof are the characteristics of atomism.
The Quran has characterized Al-Hotama that is the fire of Hotamic hell, describing its distinctive and distinguishing characteristics such as differentiate it from other types of hell-fire. These characteristic features of Al-Hotama are the characteristic features of atomic energy. So also are the causes of the punishment in Al-Hotama as given out by the Quran the causes of the appearance of the atomic energy. These are the basic characteristics of the modern Baconian philosophy of atomism. The atomic hell of this world, namely the atomic bombs and the atomic radiations may be regarded as the temporal representation of the Hotama of the next eternal world. Justas the ordinary fire is the representation of the hell in general and so also is garden the representation of the paradise. This discovery is my own exclusively. None in the world knew. The work on it entirely, ranging over thirteen hundred pages is my own exclusively. No doubt due to the exclusive grace of Allah it has all been. Let the scientist and the philosopher come now forward and judge and wonder at the all-pervading knowledge of the divine author of the Quran and give appreciation in the name of truth and knowledge. What is a miracle if not the scientific description of the nuclear phenomena in the clear perspective of the modern Baconian philosophy of atomism fourteen centuries ago in an age of no science? Show gratitude and awake to the occasion if you are concerned about the existence of this world or its peace and prosperity. Following is the text of the Prophecy of the Quran about al-Hotama.
“Woe to every backbiter, defamer, who amasseth the wealth (of this world) and arrangeth it (against the future). He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. Nay, for verily he will be cast into Al-Hotama. And what could tech thee what Al-Hotama is? It is fire of Allah enkindled, which leaps up onto the hearts. It is (afire) closed in on them in outstretched columns”. (Quran0CIV-Al-Homaza)
Part-One:-
Science of Nuclear Phenomena:-
The characteristics of the fire of Al-Hotama are:-
(i) That it is Hotama. Hotama means crusher, breaker.
(ii) That it leaps up onto the hearts.
(iii) That it has encompassing features.
(iv) That it raises columns.
All the four are the exact characteristics of atomic energy. We will treat them one by one.
(I) Quran says: “Hotama”. Hotama means crusher, breaker. This must recall to the mind of the atomist the germantrer, Bremmstrahlung, coined for the continuous spectrum of rays, and literally meaning the breaking radiation. Hotama is a descriptive noun formed from the root-verb Hotama, which means to break something to pieces. Hotama thus means a crusher, a breaker. And so also the atomic energy too is a crusher, a breaker.
(1) Atomic energy is generated by the crushing the binding of the atomic nucleus, the binding which keeps the nucleons of the nucleus closely packed together. No other type of energy is generated in this manner and thus it is the distinguishing characteristic of the atomic energy. Further the atomic energy disintegrates the atomic nucleus without any possibility of the reproduction of the disintegrated nucleus either by rearranging the nucleons in their original order or by reproducing the nucleus by some method of synthesis. The atomic radiation breaks the chromosomes of the cell nucleus, also without any means of repair of the broken chromosomes. And thus because atomic energy crushes the basic structure of the basic building block of the universe, that is atom, as well as the basic unit of life, that is cell without any hope of their restitution, the atomic energy could be termed as the absolute crusher. This again is the distinguishing characteristics of atomic energy. Substances consumed by the chemical a fire can be reproduced by some method of synthesis. The chemical energy leaves the atomic nuclei untouched and intact.
(2) All the three manifestations of the atomic bomb explosion, namely, the heat-flash, the blast and the radiations are crushers in a degree and extent greater than the conventional bomb explosion.
(3) Atomic radiations crush the atomic nuclei in inanimate matter and cause transmutations, while in the living body they eject nucleons from the atomic nuclei and they attack the cell nucleus and break the chromosomes.
(4) The terminology of the atomic physics is indicative of the crushing trait of atomic energy actions, and the standard text books of atomic physics are found to be replete with the phrases like, bombarding, crashing, smashing, hitting, colliding, breaking etc. while describing the actions of the atomic energy. Similarly the terminology of radio-biology is indicative of the crushing trait of radiations. Terms like, the target concept, direct-action, indirect action, and similes like snapping the cable with a bullet , and the sentences like, radiations hit the cells like sledge hammer and crush them, in the description of the actions of radiations, produce sufficient evidence touching the crushing trait of the atomic energy, and the realization of the radiologist thereof.
(II) The Quran says. “Hotama is a fire which leaps up on to the hearts”. And so does atomic energy.
(i) In the fission process of atomic energy generation, the atomic particles, which are fire, leap up onto the atomic nuclei. In fusion process of atomic energy generation, the heat produced by the inner fission device is directed on to the atomic nuclei of the fusile material. The Quran has used the word heart, whereas the scientist has appropriated the word nucleus. These two words are synonymous. We need no exertions to prove the identity between these two words. The authority of the scientist himself is thereto proving the point. The most conservatively standard textbooks of atomic physics call the nucleus as the heart. We will quote but two example:-
(a) “Each fast particle comes from the break-up of the very heart of a single atom…the nucleus…of the radioactive material”. (Vide: Physics, Physical Science study committee””. second edition…D.C. Heath and Company Lexington, Massachusetts July 1965. Page 130)
(b) “How many nuclear heart-beats are in the life-time of a radioactive nucleus which lasts but billionth of a second”. (Ibid: page 21. Short Problems)
Atomic radiations and the heart:-
The actions of atomic radiations take place within the nuclei that is hearts. In inanimate matter they attack the atomic nuclei and cause atomic transmutations. In the living body they attack the atomic nuclei and eject the nucleons from them. Also they attack the nuclei of the cells and break the chromosomes. The radiations affect the function of the coordination at the level where it is beyond the control of the brain, to mean that they attack at the level of the very heart of life itself. The exceptional attraction of radiations for all that is related to heart in any way in the body has been observed. Bone-marrow and all the blood-forming organs are more sensitive to radiation than the Brian, the nerves and the muscles. All the multi-cellular organisms are more sensitive to the effect of radiation than all the unicellular organisms. This may be ascribed to the fact that the multi-cellular organisms are possessed of more elaborate circulatory and respiratory systems than the unicellular organisms. The action of radiation is retarded in the absence of oxygen. Now the relation of bone-marrow, blood-forming organs, circulatory and respiratory systems, and oxygen to the heart is well-known through blood. They are all blood relations.
(1) The atomic energy thus can be termed as the nuclear and the thermonuclear crusher, Justas Al-Hotama is. It has to be observed that the atomic energy more properly is the nuclear energy, and the leaping up on to the hearts distinguishing characteristic too.
(2) “To let a creed built in the heart of things
Dissolved before a twinkling atomy”.
This little couplet of Wordsworth to be found in his “Excursions” represents our point in the best of manners. We could now say:-
“To let a world built on the nuclear system
Dissolve before a tempting energy.”
(III) The Quran says: “Hotama" is a fire closed in on them”. The atomic energy has encompassing features too. The inverted cauldron like atomic bomb explosions with extensive enclosures of radioactive fallout, and the global fallout of the megaton thermonuclear bomb, the extreme tenacity of the bone-seeking radioactive substances in the bones even after patient’s death, at the appearance of cancers from six to thirty years after actual exposure to radiation, the appearance of the effects of radiation in anaphase although the attack of radiation on cell has been in its resting stage, the encompassment of whole body by radiation in spite of the irradiation of one organ only. The survival of the lethally irradiated frogs for moths instead of the usual time interval of three to six weeks if kept in a dormant state in a temperature just above the freezing point, and the sudden appearance of radiation symptoms in case he cooled frogs are warmed up, the suggestion of Alexander Haddow that the cancer-producing action of the cancer-producing substances maybe the result of prolonged interference with normal growth, and particularly the feature of encompassing the mankind, the animal species and the plants to future generation through radio-genetic effects, encompassing this earth after having made life on it extinct to millions of years according to the half-life of the radioactive substances are the features which be speak the encompassing trait of atomic radiation.
(VI) The Quran says: Outstretched columns.”
The outstretched column has become a symbolical feature of the atomic bomb explosion. And it is not only the atomic bomb explosion that raises a column. The columns in the invisible world of radioactive atomic particles too can be calculated. Rather the world of the radioactive particles is a world of columns. So un-proportionally high are the jumps of the atomic particles in comparison to the rise, that according to the general standards observable in the visible world they maybe justly termed as columns. The Alpha-particle that has jumped to a height of found centimeters has risen to a height millions of millions of times its own diameter. A foot—ball or a shell rising in such a proportion to its own size would rise to heights far into the outer space. The two hundred years travel of the gamma rays in air means something unimaginably large. Even a neutron during the fission chain reaction rising from one nucleus to another has traversed a distance more than ten thousand times its own diameter, and if left unchecked by the absorbing nucleus, it would travel greater distances. The milli9ons of miles high columns of the cosmic rays coming from the outer space to earth would complete the picture.
(V) A description of the hell of Al-Hotama by the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) of Islam. The Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) said:-
“Allah will send angels equipped with covers of fire, and nails of fire, and columns of fire. They will cover the doomed with covers of fire, and will transfix them with nails of fire, and will stretch the columns of fire upward over them. The entire phenomenon will be made so very air-tight that not a trace of delight will enter from without, nor a trace of agony will escape from within. Allah will forget them on His throne and will out them off from His Mercy. The inmates of paradise will begin to enjoy the boons of Allah .The inmates of hell will cease to cry for help, and speech will come to end. Their speech them will be (as the sound of) inhaling and exhaling.” (Quoted from Al-Jallalain)
What better description of the atomic bomb explosions phenomenon could be thought of the covers of fire are the inverted cauldrons of the atomic bomb explosions. The nails of fire are the radiations. The columns are the columns of the atomic bomb explosions.
(VI) The Quran says: “What could teach thee what Al-Hotama is?”
According to the early interpreters of the Quran this interrogative more here implies the inexpressible terribleness of the phenomenon. To this now in the presence of the atomic hell of this world may be added the complexity of the subject, and the question, “What could teach thee what the phenomena of the nuclear science are like, “could well be put to the nuclear scientist. And surely his answer will be: Nothing.
Part-two:-
The Philosophy of Atomism:-
The basic causes of the punishment in Al-Hotama as given out by the Quran are the basic characteristics of the Baconian Philosophy of modern atomism, and further are the basic causes of the appearance of atomic energy that is the atomic hell on earth.
I. The Quran says: - “Woe to every backbiter, defamer”. Now the habit of backbiting and deforming the doctrine of faith in inherent in the very nature of ancient atomism. The modern atomism to being of philosophy exclusively of the world, as in time developed the habit of slander. The rationalism, the criterion of judgment of the modern philosophy of the atomism has been perverted, and the spirit of slander has permeated its critical attitude and has tainted it so that the habit of slander has gradually come to pervade every phase of human life. Only the modern slander is of an intellectual term, and is sophisticated. Mark the change in the original meanings of the word propaganda in the modern age of atomism.
II. The Quran says, “He amasseth wealth of the world and arrangeth it against the future”. Now the whole perspective of the world is before you. See for yourself, if another better description of this present science-guided , machine-ridden, continuous, systematic, ever-increasing and infinite progress based on the Baconian doctrine of the man’s dominion over nature for material utility of national forces as the actual business of man on earth could be expected than the description given above by the Quran.
III. The Quran says, “He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.” That is He is so ever –solicitous about the durability of the material works of this world as if he hoped to live forever in this world. The solicitude of the modern world about the durability of the monuments of the achievements of science in this universal Economico-Industrial set up, and the current belief in the continuous increase in riches to the eternity is such as needs no comment.
IV. The Quran says, “Nay, for verily he will be cast into Al-Hotama, both he and his wealth”. And so the belief in the eternity of the material achievements of this age is based on error. It is as if by magic wand that all this material set up would perish in the events of atomic war. The atomic radiations in the case of the atomic- energy-for-peace would bring about the end a bit slower in a manner of slow decay. about the atomic energy that is the mother of the atomic hell, it is well known and it has to be recalled to one’s mind, that it (the atomic energy) has emerged on a particular point in the course of a research of science conducted with the sole object of wealth acquirement and wealth accumulation based on the philosophy of man’s dominion over nature for material benefit, and is the logical and scientific consequence of the Baconian philosophy of atomism. The atomism must essentially end in the atomic hell, negating the belief in forever living and rich. The three causes, namely, slander, complete engrossment in wealth accumulation, and a belief in continued eternity of the modern science-guided, atomismistics progress have worked like the three ingredients of gun powder in producing the atomic fire on most scientific basis, and if the guilt of world-love is under-rated by the mankind, no different will be made to the inexorability of the laws of nature. Inevitable is the force of the laws, while the present day mankind is so unbelievably blinded to the facts, that despite all the knowledge of the grievous hazards incident on atomic energy, the atomic energy is being adopted. The circumstances created by the culture of atomism have rendered this mankind quite helpless in a cage without an exit to escape. Knowing that radiation in any amount is harmful to health and life, and knowing that no protection against radiation is possible to the millions residing in the neighborhood of reactors that have every possibility of exploding any moment to inundate the neighboring districts with deadly, ruinous radiation, and knowing that no sure cure for radiation sickness was discovered and none wear in sight, and knowing that the radio-genetic damage was irreparable and irreversible, and that no means of detecting or destroying the mutated genes existed , and that nothing could be done after the mutated genes began to manifest their existence in abnormal births to turn this creation in herds of cancer-ridden chimeras to final extinction, the atomic energy were being adopted, the reactors were being madly sought, as the only means of the survival of nations, and the scientists ether very scientist who on the one hand would honestly reveal to the world the ruinous aspects of the atomic energy, would on the other hand and at the same time feel himself most conscience-clear in recommending the use of atomic-energy-for-peace and giving his heart-felt cooperation in the enterprise. To what then this attitude be ascribed except the inexorable influence of the three causes. And again that the scientist instead of conducting his research on atomic energy in his laboratory and coming out with the recommendation of adopting it only after having secured the guarantee of the safety and control of so deadly a force of nature as the atomic energy, should in gross violation of the established methodology of science itself, adopt the method of research cum utility in the experiment of a kind so peculiarly and so insidiously dangerous, employing instead of mice and monkeys as the guinea pigs, the species in general, including man is a tragedy that words fail to express. The pen shudders, the hand shudders, the mind shudders in the describing this indescribable fact but this experiment of radiation needed generations to obtain the final result. This universal experiment of atomic energy must ultimately and certainly energy as ruinous and result in the deadliest doom to bring untold and unheard of miseries and end this creation on earth after a painful spell of existence. Heavens may shudder at such a prospect, yet this mankind has been made proof to every warning and every admonition due to the blinding influence of the three causes. Do what we may, this present mankind scorns to be led off from the path which it has adopted.
V. The Quran says, “Hotama is fire of Allah”. If Hotama is the fire of Allah, the atomic energy too is the fire of retribution appearing as the logical and scientific consequence of three evils: namely, slander, wealth accumulation and a belief in the eternity of this modern progress. If no protection is possible from the fire of Allah then surely no protection is possible from the atomic bomb and the atomic radiations. The fire of atomic hell comes sweeping. It kills by heat flash, then by blast and then it chases the unfortunate survivors to their graves in the form of radiations.
And the result in the nut shell is that no power on earth can save this mankind from the dreadful doom of the atomic destruction except by removing the causes of the trouble which the Holy Scripture has so kindly revealed to a race which is deluded into the belief that more production and still more production to the points of self-sufficiency is the remedy of the ills of this age, as if the addition of fuel to the fire could be expected to extinguish the fire.

THE TRANSLATION OF AL-HOMAZA BY RODWELL:
“Woe to every backbiter, defamer, who ammaseth wealth and storeth it against the future. He thinketh surely that his wealth shall be with him forever. Nay, for verily he shall be flung into the crushing fire; and who could teach thee what the crushing ire is? It is God/s kindled fire, which shall mount above the hearts; it shall verily rise over them like a vault, on outstretched columns”. (QURAN-104-AL-HOMAZA)
THE ATTESTATION BY THE PHILOSOPHER OF ATOMISM:
The following facts about Baconian philosophy of Modern atomism, and this modern progress are attested as correct:-
(1) The Baconian philosophy of modern atomism is the philosophy of man’s dominion over the forces of nature as man’s right and man’s right and purpose through continuous research of science for the material benefit of mankind in general.
(2) That modern progress is continuous, ever-increasing and endless and is the mean of wealth acquirement and wealth accumulation, in an organized manner, and in accordance with a scheme of future development, continually, endlessly, while the general belief is in its continuous, endless development.
(3) That the word “Propaganda” has received the new meanings in this modern age, a meaning has assumed defamatory shade. And that the habit of slander and defaming has been intellectualized as an art.
