BLOOD OXIDATION

Not at all, but what they did rusted their hearts. (Surat al-Mutaffifin, 14)

The term "rusty" used in this verse may be a reference to a biochemical reaction that takes place in the heart. (Allah is the most learned.) Umrah Package December 2017 Rust results from the reaction of iron with oxygen: oxidation. The oxygen we absorb from the air is transported through the body through the iron in the hemoglobin of the blood. During this process, the oxygen reacts with the iron in the blood, as if a rust phenomenon is constantly repeated in the blood and therefore in the heart, which is at the center of the blood network.

An excess of iron in the blood can lead to premature cell aging due to oxidation.1 In the so-called hemochromatosis, due to the excessive accumulation of iron in the body, iron has a toxic effect and depletes organs like the liver. As it is the oxidation of iron, it is often said that "organs rust" or that "rust accumulates" in the organs.2 In the journal Science News , Dr. Sharon McDonnell compares the oxidation of iron in the cells to "rust" organs.3

In another reference, it is also said of this disease: "... those who are affected by hemochromatosis absorb iron by storing it in their organs. Over time, it accumulates in toxic proportions, causing organ failure, literally rusted. "4

It is only possible to identify the reaction of iron with oxygen in the body - oxidation in the blood - in laboratories equipped with sharp equipment. Given the time of the revelation of the Quran, the scientific precision of its comparison is a miracle. The Koran is full of details that can only be the revelation of Allah the Omniscient, our Lord and the Creator of the universe.
