The Quranic perception of Ascension Through the Outer Space


The scientific explanation of the phenomenon of suffocation while ascension through the outer space became well-known nowadays after an enormous chain of reaction carried out by the scientists for knowing more about the components of the atmosphere and its characteristics, especially after the speedy evolution of the necessary equipments at that field for measuring the low heights or the carried by rockets and satellites for studying the highly atmospheric areas. The studies state that the construction of the earth's atmosphere is formed because of the continual movement of its atoms which lead to the processes of vertical and horizontal mixing, especially at low heights ,so the percentage of the components of air is still balanced nearly up to the height of 80 kms.It was proved that the air pressure decreases on elevating higher the earth's level ;it loses half of its value every 5kms higher than the surface of the sea in a continuant way. Accordingly, the pressure of the atmosphere lessen to the quarter of its original value at the height of 10kms, and to 1% of it at the height of 30kms.Also the intensity of the air ,as a result, decreases with elevating until it becomes near to nothing at the height of 1000kms away from the surface of the earth. On the other hand, the percentage of O2 decreases on elevating as well because of the decreasing of the components of the air; if the O2 percentage at the height of the surface of the earth is 200units, it is 40units at the height of 10kms; then 2units only at the height of 30kms.

Hence, human being suffocates because of getting up more than 10kms.Unless he is protected inside a conditioned room because of the decrease of the pressure of air and the O2 percentage which is necessary for breathing and without this room the human being is afflicted with laziness, and starts to undergo a state of sleeping and losing memory.

The human being also is deposed to the harmful rays of atmosphere; then dies. Also the space medicine proved the affliction of the one who gets up in the space, without that conditioned room, with the lungs transude, the disability to control the action in the space, the redness of the eyes, then their blackness, which is the top of the optical hallucination as the optical system is normal physiologically, but the light is not existed because there is in the high atmospherical areas but mere darkness. Hence the ascender thinks that he is enchanted as he could no longer sea. That is what the Holy Quran refers to:
Even if We had opened a gate in heavens and they ascend through it and keep on ascending, still they would have said "Our sights have been dazzled, rather we have been bewitched." (15.14-15).

Going back to our main verse:
Whomever Allah wills to guide, He opens his chest to Islam, and whomever He wills to confound ,He makes his chest narrow and squeezes as if he ascends in the sky; that is how Allah places a blight on those who do not believe. (6.125)
The verse is rhetorical and miraculous as it compares the one who refuses to believe, and whose chest narrows as long as he goes away from his Lord to the ascender in the sky. That fact was not discovered but in the 19th, and the 20th century.
