The Prophet Abraham (pbuh)
Signs from the Story of the Prophet Abraham
(pbuh) for the Present Day
In the verse, "Fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham" (Surat
al-Anbiya: 69), Allah reveals that the fire did not harm the Prophet
Abraham (pbuh). As a result, the pagans' snares were neutralized
and they could not harm him. This verse also contains an important
indication for the present day. (Allah knows the truth.)
As we know, all kinds of fabrics and materials are now pro-
duced by high technology. Among them are fire-proof clothing
and vehicles. For instance, fire-resistant clothes protect their wear-
ers against fire, flames, and other effects of burning, for they catch
fire less easily, burn slower, and put themselves out when the
flame or the fire's source is removed. Such clothing gives people
more time to remove their burning clothes or extinguish the
blames.
Fabrics made from glass, aramid, novoloid, sulphur, and
saran fibers do not catch fire and resist very high temperatures.
These fabrics are the result of different fibers joined together,
through a series of tests, to protect the wearer against fire. Shirts,
pants, jackets, sweaters, shoes, gloves, socks, and headgear de-
signed from such fire-resistant materials are used by workers in
oil refineries, chemical substance producing plants, electricity and
natural gas facilities, steel and aluminum factories, welding
plants, the air and space industry, the construction industry, and
emergency and fire-fighting personnel. (American Firewear

The above verse may be pointing to this
major scientific development, which will
emerge during the
End Times, and in-
dicating the pro-
duction of these
fire-resistant
fabrics and ma-
terials. (Allah
knows the
truth.)
