This ratio is further formidable, rather inexpressibly large.

This ratio is further formidable, rather inexpressibly large. Beta Rays move several yards in air. The Neutron in the process of fission chain reaction of U-235 has to move a distance more than ten thousand times its size while rising from one nucleus to another, yet the Neutron is checked by the absorbing Nucleus, otherwise it can traverse greater distance if left to move unchecked.

It means that the feature of raising columns is inherent in the nature of the atomic phenomenon itself, and is not confined to the atomic bomb explosion only. Further we find the Cosmic rays falling in showers on earth from the outer space. What formidable heights these columns would have.

This may also be remembered that so fast is the speed of the atomic particles (Gamma rays move with the speed of light), that a rising particle would appear like the flash of lightening, although rising like a column. The scientist has not viewed this point from this angle as yet. A point more important than the unification of natural forces perhaps due to its correct direction. (VI) A DESCRIPTION OF THE HELL OF HOTAMA BY THE HOLY PROPHET OF ISLAM.

The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said:- " Allah will send angels equipped with covers of fire, and nails of fire, and columns of fire. They will cover the doomed with covers of fire, and will transfix them with nails of fire, and will stretch the columns of fire upward over them. The entire phenomenon will be made so over airtight that not a trace of delight shall enter from without, nor a trace of Agony will escape from within.

Allah will forget them on His throne, and will cut them off from His mercy. The inmates of paradise will begin to enjoy the boons of Allah. The inmates of hell will cease to cry for help, and speech will come to an end. Their speech will then be (as the sound of) inhaling and exhaling". (Quoted from Al-Jallalain). It is hardly possible to find yet another description of the atomic bomb explosion phenomenon as realistic and exact.

The atomic bomb explosion is like a cover of fire, the radiation rays are like the nails of fire which transfix the unfortunate inmates of the atomic hell. The columns of fire stretched upward are the columns of the atomic bomb explosions. VIII) THE QURAN SAYS " WHAT COULD TEACH THEE WHAT AL-HOTAMA IS?". The early commentators of the Quran have said, the interrogative mode of the Quran in this question implies terribleness of the phenomenon of Al-Hotama.
