Carbon C-12 Miracle in Quran | Building Block of Life
The Quran encodes carbon's atomic properties: 12 nucleons, 6 protons. The element that makes life possible.
Did You Know?
6 distinct creation materials in Quran: 1. تراب 'turab' (earth/dust) 2. طين 'tin' (clay) 3. صلصال 'salsal' (dried clay) 4. حمأ 'hama' (dark mud) 5. طين لازب 'tin lazib' (sticky clay) 6. سلالة من طين 'sulalah min tin' (extract of clay) = Carbon atomic number: 6 Word طين 'tin' (clay) appears 12 times. = Carbon-12 (C-12) mass number Foundation of all organic life.
Who made everything He created excellent
Quran 32:7
Explanation
Carbon has atomic number 6 (6 protons) and mass number 12 (C-12 isotope). The Quran lists exactly 6 creation materials and the word 'clay' appears exactly 12 times. Carbon-12 is 98.9% of all carbon and the foundation of all life. Atomic theory developed 1,200+ years after the Quran.
Scientific Details
The Numbers
Creation materials: 6 types | طين 'tin' (clay) count: 12 occurrences | Carbon: Atomic number 6, Mass number 12 (C-12)
Carbon's Role in Life
Carbon-12 comprises 98.9% of all carbon. Carbon (C-6) forms the backbone of all organic molecules, DNA, proteins, and biological structures. Atomic theory: Dalton (1803), Moseley (1913). DNA: 1953.
