By moving the expression ‘we brought down iron’ of 25th verse of the Hadid surah this article
investigates whether iron was brought down from sky. In the investigation, other uses of the
expression “to bring down” was evaluated. Generally, the expression “to bring down”, according to
its context, means “to create” “to bestow” but literally it means ‘to bring down’. According to me in
the verse mentioned, “we brought down iron” statement doesn’t express a literal meaning. The iron
is a thing bestowed upon people by Allah. According to some assertions, this verse implies a
scientific reality. Considering with the other usages of the word inzal, we can say that this
expression doesn’t refer to a scientific reality. Because advocators of this scientific view never said
anything about the 6th of the Zumar surah which mentions Allah brought down of ‘cattle eight of
kind’. Consequently, to claim that the iron- in the literal sense- was brought down form sky
contradicts with the other usages of the word inzal
