A discovery made by the author first time in history, unknown to the non-Muslim world and Muslims world alike. The book under review is the nucleus of author's fourteen volumes written in English and an equal number in Urdu. According to the author, it has become obvious beyond any doubt that no protection is possible to supply the entire population with any means of protection: against the atomic radiations. So also the atomic war appears inevitable despite every assurance. The doomed mankind, doomed to a painful and disgraceful end is only ostriching. It is not a lay man's opinion nor could it be cast a side just as an alarmist view. Rather the majority of the atomic scientists all over the world have by and by come to this very conclusion. It appears strange that such a warning should come from the Quran which is generally regarded as a mere book of religion. This no doubt is a mistaken view, for, the Quran has more than once claimed to contain every possible example for man. If the Quran has mentioned the destruction of the people of AA’d and THAMUD, and SODOM and GOMMORAH, destroyed due to divine punishment habitations that had comparatively negligible populations. How the Quran should omit the mention of an agent capable of annihilating the entire life on earth, human, and vegetation, rendering the earth incapable of appearance and growth of life for millions of years.
The warning of the Quran comprises the brief, indeed very brief chapter called Al-Homaza, containing about thirty-six words. In this warning the Quran has mentioned the three main characteristics of this modern science-guided Baconian culture of atomism as the basic logical and scientific cause of the appearance of atomic hell. The three main characteristics are slander (propaganda) accumulation of wealth and counting it, and a belief in the eternity of the wealth thus accumulated. It is hard for anyone to miss these characteristics as the manifest feature of this present age. Nor any student of the social, economical, cultural and scientific evolution of this modern age could easily miss the link between the three characteristics pointed out by the Quran and the appearance of the atomic bomb and its associates unitedly called by the Quran as Hotama that is the atomic hell. Quran has used the term Hotama. Hotama is a sort of a hell in the other world, with features different and distinguished from the rest of the hells existing there. The atomic hell of this present world (as is named even by the scientists themselves) is the replica of the Hotama of the next world, just as the ordinary chemical fire serves as the reminiscence of the ordinary hell of the next hell of the next world. The three habits which the Quran has given out for the punishment in the hell of Hotama are obviously those responsible for the appearance of atomic bomb.
Fourteen centuries ago the production of the revival of the 500 B.C. Democratic philosophy of Atomism in the form of the modern philosophy of Baconian atomism (something apparently improbable at that time,) and the knowledge that of the tree main characteristics of the modern science-guided progressive culture of Baconian atomism as are mentioned above, and above all this the scientific characterization of the atomic fire, rather the nuclear fire, in terms which distinguish the nuclear fire from the chemical fire as is to be found in Quran's chapter under discussion, are the facts known to no one but God himself. Here is then an argument irrefutable for the divine original of the Quran. Undeniable even by the scientists. No philosopher or wise man of this modern age, not even Bertrand Russell, has ever hinted upon the root-causes of the appearance of the atomic hell, namely, the slander, wealth accumulation and the belief in the eternity of this wealth. The credit of this discovery goes to the Quran. The philosophers on the other hand have been making their futile appeals to this mankind to forget their quarrels in order to avoid the atomic ruin. Now proportional to the increase in their knowledge of the havoc of the atomic bombs, the pitch of the cry of the humanity against the atomic bombs is on the rise, but the circumstances clearly show as if this humanity is doomed to atomic annihilation. Bertrand Russell in his letter to author in 1964 was not a miss when he declared the end of this humanity in the atomic bomb. No power on earth can save this world from the nuclear doom. This warning and the guidance therein by the Quran appears to be the only hope for the mankind to escape the painful and disgraceful end. This indeed figures as the Noah's Ark in this fiery deluge of this present world. The study of the subject treated in this book under review clearly reveals that the true appreciation of the scientific side of the subject is for a physicist of the caliber of Einstein, while the Quranic side is reserved for a commentator of the level of Razi. Yet it appears something surprising that anyone with average understanding could apprehend the topic. The matter contained by the book both on the Quran's and science's side is so manifest that no need for either quotations of bibliography is felt. The subject appears as a challenge to the modern scientist in reference to Quran's general challenge to the human and the Jinn collectively to compose a chapter like the Quran.
