"And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people."
Qur'an 57:25 · trans. Saheeh International
Independent findings
Iron is fused in stellar cores and scattered by supernovae; every terrestrial deposit arrived with the material that formed the planet — astrophysically, iron did come from above. But the same verb covers bestowal elsewhere in the text (cattle, 39:6; garments, 7:26), and the classical reading is 'brought forth for you.' The literal reading agrees with nucleosynthesis; the idiomatic reading needs no science at all. Stamped ALIGNED with both readings attached.
