NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST. A. MONG THE QURANIC PROPHECIES relating to events and inventions of our age, there are some which are of outstanding importance and great global significance. One such prophecy relates to the impending danger of a nuclear holocaust. . This prophecy was made at a time when man could not entertain the idea of an atomic explosion by any stretch of his imagination. But as we will presently illustrate, there are certain verses of the Holy Quran which clearly speak of tiny insignificant particles which are described as storehouses of immense energy, as though the fire of hell was locked within them. Amazing as it may seem, this is exactly what is literally described in the following verses. لا وَيْلٌ لِكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ تُمَرَةٍ * الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ * يَحْسَبُ أَنْ مَالَةٌ اَحْلَدَهُ * كَلَّا لَيُنْبَذَنْ فِى الْحُطَمَةِ * وَمَا أَدْرَكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ : نَارُ الله الْمُوْقَدَةُ الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْدَة * الهَا * عَلَيْهِمْ مُوْصَدَةٌ فِي عَمَدٍ مُمَدَّدَةٍ * 10-104:2 * رک. Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,. Who amasses wealth and counts it over and over. . He imagines that his wealth will make him immortal. . Nay! he shall surely be cast into the "hotamah”. . And what should make thee know what the "hotamah" is?. Allah's fire as preserved fuel,. Which will leap suddenly on to the hearts. . It is locked up in outstretched pillars to be used against them.
