CHLORINE = Cl
35
The Swedish scientist Carl Wilhelm Scheele first ob-
tained the element Chlorine (Cl) in 1774, some twelve cen-
turies after the Qur’anic revelation. Chlorine is most used in
killing bacteria in drinking water and in swimming pools –
it is known for its distinct chemical smell. Chlorine is used in a wide range
of fields, from drug manufacture to paints - and from petrol products to

cleaning products.
There are 35 words between the first and last time the letters "C" and
"L" appear together. That figure is also the atomic mass of Chlorine.

Number of words between the first and last letters "Cl" in the Surah: 35
Atomic mass of the element "Cl": 35

* The conjunction "and" was not included in the calculation.

(Surat al-Hadid, 4 and 6)

CARBON = C

Carbon (C) occupies an extremely important place in
the structure of living things and exists in a wide range of
substances in the world of nature. Carbon atoms are pre-
sent in very different compounds, from the carbon dioxide
released during respiration to the most precious diamonds.
