(Rafia Hussain, Khair Pur Mirus, Sindh)
Hazrat Maaz Bin Jabbal (R.A) narrates that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, “Allah has created an angel whose half body is made of fire and the other half is made of ice. He prays, (O Allah!) You are free of every defect, O lord! Who has created love between the fire and ice (so that) the fire does not extinguish the cooling of ice and ice does not finish the hotness of fire. Create love between the hearts of your pious persons.” (Abu Al Shaikh)
(Reference: Translation of Imam Jalal Ud din Sayyti’s Book “Al Habaik Fee Akhbar Al Malaik” i.e. “Strange World of Angels”)
Summary: Here the word “Noor” is translated as “Fire”. One of its reasons is that the Ice can not extinguish the Noor. Noor can not be extinguished by anything whereas ice can extinguish the fire but can not extinguish the Noor. (Allah knows the Best)
Considering the existence of fire and ice together was too much difficult before 1400 years but as the time passed this information has been revealed. In the National Geographic’s magazine of May, 2007, this news was published that a very cool star of red color revolves around the Sun from just a distance of 2.5 million miles. A planet has been discovered whose size is same as of the Neptune. The Planet named as “Galez Jay 436 B” (GJ 436B) is composed of hot but solid water. This planet was discovered in 2004 earlier, the ice of this planet is not the same as we know whereas the water has become solid due to be in a pressurized state. It will be easy to understand that this ice is like a very hard “Jelly”. This is ice but not cool at all whereas it is too hot ice that it can melt anything within a moment but it does not melt itself. This ice is burning on very high temperature. As the angel says that Allah has created such love between the ice and fire that the fire can not extinguish the cooling of ice and the cooling of ice can not extinguish the hotness of fire. (Subhan Allah). This love can be said as chemical bonding in the terms of science. “The burning world of ice” is at the distance of 30 light years from our star the Sun. And in one light year there are approximately 800 million years. Seven angels daily put ice on the Sun to cool it. Hazrat Ummama Bahli (R.A) narrates that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that Allah has deputed seven angels on the Sun who put ice on it. If they don’t do this the light of sun will burn everything wherever it reaches. {Ref: “The Strange World of Angels” by Imam Jalal ud Din Sayyuti (R.A)}
Every word of this Hadith is a great point of knowledge. Ice is a form of water i.e. H2O. The gases which are present on the Sun have 73.46% Hydrogen, 24.85% Helium and 0.77% of Oxygen. Considering this will be useless that the oxygen has very less quantity and two atoms of Hydrogen combine with one atom of oxygen to form water. Because now we have seen the burning world of ice, so this is not the argument. When the protons of Helium and Hydrogen strike with each other then the proton of Hydrogen converts into the proton of Helium. By this process (i.e. with the combination of protons) the flames of fire are produced. This process of protons is called “Chemical Reaction”. By continued chemical reaction heat and energy is produced which produce positive effects on our earth. Approximately 4 million ton Hydrogen is utilized on the Sun at every second. When the Hydrogen will finish from the Sun (i.e. if the angels do not put ice on the Sun) then the Sun will keep on burning only in the Helium for 130 million years or more… during this a time will come that the Sun will burn every planet and will merge the planets in itself. It is very clear from this that the Islam is the only realistic religion.
