Page 10 - The Miracle in the Atom

"Why?"
Once the answer is found, this question is the key to a gate that leads
one to a completely different world. It is, at the same time, a slim line that se-
parates those who know from those who don't.
In the world in which we live, mankind is caught up in a continuous se-

arch for the answers to many questions like "what?", "how?" and "in what

man to make his way to the truth unless he asks himself the question "why?"
about the extraordinary order and balance with which he interacts.
In this book, we will deal with the subject of "the atom", the ground-
work of every animate and inanimate thing. After seeing what occurs and in
what way it occurs with regards to the atom, we will seek the answers to the
question "why?" The answer to this question will take us to the truth we pur-
sue.
Since the first half of the 19th century, hundreds of scientists worked
day and night to reveal the secrets of the atom. These studies that uncovered

the form, motion, structure and other properties of the atom shattered the
very grounds of classical physics that assumed matter to be an entity witho-
ut any beginning or end, and laid the foundation for modern physics. They
also produced many questions.
Many physicists, looking for answers to these questions, finally agreed
that there is perfect order, unerring balance and conscious design in the
atom, as in everything else in the universe.
This truth is revealed in the Qur'an sent down by Allah fourteen centu-
ries ago. As made clear in the verses of the Qur'an, the whole universe works
in perfect order because the earth, the sky and everything in between is cre-
