Firestorm and the Quranic miracle in it:
1. Scientific explanation of cow verse 266:
- The verse describes a rare phenomenon (a hurricane with fire), which corresponds to a fire cyclone that destroys everything in its path at high temperatures.
The phrase "burned out" refers to complete combustion, a major feature of a firestorm that consumes oxygen fiercely.
2. Recent documented examples:
2018 – California: A firestorm forms during the Carr Fire at 1.5 km high, with winds of up to 230 km/h.
- 2020 - Australia: Satellites detected firestorms during the "Black Summer" fires.
Environmental context of the verse:
- The verse speaks of a fertile land ("Baha") turned to ash, a radical change similar to the impact of a fire cyclone on vegetation.
- The phenomenon was not known in the desert environment at the time of the descent, which confirms that the Quranic description is unprecedented.
4. Accurate scientific additions:
- Mechanism of composition: 3 factors require:
1. Thermal source (big fire).
2. Conflicting air currents (Shear Wind).
3. Thermal Instabilities.
- Color: sometimes appears white due to the combustion of metals (such as magnesium) in urban areas.
5. The face of linguistic miracle:
- The word "cyclone" is derived from "era" i.e. wrapping the thing around itself, which is an accurate description of the fire vortex.
- The combination of "Hurricane" and "Fire" in a concise phrase reflects the brevity of the Qur'an and its scientific precision in describing a phenomenon that was not known in the environment of the Arabian Peninsula.
6. Statistical Update:
According to the International Fire Research Center (2023), the frequency of firestorms is increasing by 15% annually due to climate change.
7. Multidisciplinary Vision:
Physics: Explains the phenomenon by the laws of thermodynamics.
Geology: Carbon footprints in soil indicate ancient firestorms.
