What is the fossil fuels? How fossil fuels have been formed? How many years of fossil fuels are left? What are 3 ways fossil fuels are formed?
It is mentioned in a verse,
“And Who brings out the (green and luscious) pasture, And then does make it (but) swarthy stubble.” (al-A’lâ, 87: 4-5)
Elmalili Hamdi interprets this verse in his exegesis as follows:
“In the beginning, Allah Almighty brought forth all kinds of trees in the pastures, highlands, gardens and forests, and then turned them into black manure and coal.” (Elmalili, VIII, 5747)
How happy those believers who live with the peace of the eternal blessing by carrying the Qur’an in their hearts and placing good character in their soul are!
The word “ahwâ” mentioned in the verse is employed for various meanings such as blackish, dark black, dark green, smutty, and clear colors. Here, it is interpreted as black, brown and green colors. (See Elmalılı, VIII, 5748)
The fact that the fuels such as coal and oil come into existence through fossilization of bulky trees grown centuries ago and their flow underground like a black flood is among the scientific discoveries of modern age.
