Metals in the Qur'an and Their Role in Smartphone Technology

In the Qur'an, Allah mentions various types of metals and natural materials that hold great benefits for humanity. Although the Qur'an does not explicitly mention the use of metals in the creation of modern technological devices such as smartphones, several metals mentioned have a close relationship with the materials used in today's electronic devices. Let us explore some of the metals mentioned in the Qur'an and how they are used in the production of smartphones.

1. Iron (الحديد - Al-Hadid)

Reference in the Qur'an:
Surah Al-Hadid (57:25):

وَأَنزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ
And We sent down iron, in which there is great might an"

benefits for mankind."

Use of Iron in Smartphones:
Iron, particularly in the form of steel (an iron alloy), is widely used in the construction of smartphone frames and structural components. The high strength of iron provides resistance to impacts, making it an ideal material for protecting internal components. Additionally, iron provides the structural stability and durability required in smartphone designs.

2. Silver (الفضة - Al-Fidda)

Reference in the Qur'an:

• Surah Al-Insan (76:15) :

  وَيُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِاٰنِيَةٍ مِّنْ فِضَّةٍ

  
  There will circulate among them vessels of silver

• Surah Al-Imran (3:14):

  زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَاطِيرِ الْمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ
  

  "Beautified for people is the love of desires—such as women, children, hoarded treasures of gold and silver."

Use of Silver in Smartphones:
Silver is an excellent conductor of electricity, and due to this property, it is widely used in the manufacture of electronic circuits. In smartphones, silver is used in protective layers and micro-components that require high conductivity. Additionally, silver is used in the production of connectors and other communication tools within the device.

3. Gold (الذهب - Az-Zahab)

Reference in the Qur'an:

• Surah Al-Imran (3:14):

  زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَاطِيرِ الْمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ
  

  "Beautified for people is the love of desires—such as women, children, hoarded treasures of gold and silver."

Use of Gold in Smartphones:
Gold is used in the production of connectors and electronic circuits in smartphones. It is highly valued for its excellent conductivity and its ability to resist corrosion. These properties make gold the preferred choice for ensuring the stability and reliability of electronic devices like smartphones. Although used in small amounts, gold is crucial for ensuring fast and uninterrupted communication between components within the device.

4. Copper (النحاس - An-Nuhas)

Reference in the Qur'an:

• Surah Saba' (34:12):

  وَأَسَلْنَا لَهُ عَيْنَ الْقِطْرِ
  

  "And We made a fountain of molten copper flow for him."

Use of Copper in Smartphones:
Copper is essential in the production of wires and electronic components in smartphones. Its excellent ability to conduct electricity makes it an ideal material for wires and other critical components in electronic devices. Copper is used in the production of circuits and charging systems in smartphones because it ensures stable and efficient electrical flow.
