Sir, Quran says “woe unto every slandering traducer who gathereth wealth of this world and arrangeth it’s (again the future).He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. Nay, for verily he will be cast into Al- Hotama. Ah, what will convey unto thee, what Al-Hotama is? It is the fire of Allah enkindled, which leapeth up over the hearts. Lo, it is closed in on them in out stretched Columns”. (Quran 104 – Al Hotama ).The prophecy of the Quran about the atomic bomb, that is the atomic hell , fortunately enough for mankind, is in the form of warning, and is based on cause and effect, deed and consequence, and not at all as a decree preordained. The Quran has manifestly given the causes that are responsible for the resultant emergence of nuclear power and its consequent fruit, the hell Bomb. The danger therefore could certainly be averted through repentance and the removal of the basic causes, the causes which have been enumerated by the Quran in most explicit of terms, nay, and the danger even could be averted, a little before the atomic holocaust has taken place. It is just as the sins of a sinner could be pardoned by the Merciful Allah, on repentance even a little while before death. Once the atomic holocaust has commenced, then nothing but ruin both of this and the other world is certain. The prophecy , rather the warning about the atomic hell (Hotama)in the Quran is primarily to be interpreted as , and assumed to be , an event of the next eternal world , but , just as fire and garden are there in this world , to represent hell and heaven respectively this atomic bomb on earth us to represent the atomic hell in the next world , with the difference indeed , that whereas the victims of the atomic bomb on earth might taste death , the victims of the atomic hell of the next world are doomed to burn there in forever without ever dying . And also, that while among the victims of atomic bomb in the world there might be people innocent, the inmates of the atomic hell in the next world are, one and all going to be men, judged individually and found deserving of the particular punishment. Those innocent people however who unluckily fell victims to the atomic bombs in this world would find ample compensation in the next world for their loss and suffering , in this world , through Allah’s un-abounding mercy , just like those innocent believers who would fall victims along with other bad people whose evil deeds have incurred the wrath of Allah and the subsequent chastisement, will according to the promise of Allah be compensated on the Day of Judgement for undeserved suffering , Those unfortunate people however , whose deeds will justify their punishment in form of atom bomb in this world will be doubly punished , that is , both in this world and next world . If on the one hand they will suffer the punishment of burning in the atomic fire in this world, on the other hand they will be hurled in the atomic hell in the next world to burn therein eternally. Not to oppose the atomic bomb and its causes too is guilt punishable. None therefore appears to be saved. Allah, however, is ever merciful and may take mercy on those guilty of reticence against the atomic bombs due to their powerlessness.
