Miracles Of The Quran

RA DON = Rn
86
The element Radon (Rn) was discovered by the German
chemist Friedrich E. Dorn in 1900, hundreds of years after the

revelation of the Qur'an. The element is rarely found in nature.
Radon is radioactive element and used in medical treatments.

Number of letters from the beginning of the verse until the letters
"Rn" appear: 86
Atomic number of the element "Rn": 86

(Surat al-Hadid, 22)

ZIRCONIUM = Zr
40
Zirconium (Zr) was discovered by the German
chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789. Of

course, nobody in 7 th Century Arabia would
have known about Klaproth or Zirconium or its
scientific make-up. Therefore, a Qur’anic reference to this ele-
ment, used in the cores of nuclear reactors, hundreds of years
beforehand, is certainly a considerable miracle. There are 40
letters between the first time that the letters "Z" and "R" ap-
pear together and the beginning of the verse. The atomic
number of Zirconium, chemical symbol Zr, is 40. There are
also 91 letters between the first time the letters "Z" and "R" come
together and the end of the actual verse – and remarkably, that
number is the atomic weight of Zirconium.
