Allah Almighty talked about lack of Oxygen and painful low pressure in space. Science confirmed the Noble Quran's Divine Claim:

The sections of this article are:

1-  The Noble Quran's Divine Claims.
2-  An addition from a medical student.
3-  The Scientific Proofs to the Noble Quran's Divine Claims.
3-  Conclusion.

1-  The Noble Quran's Divine Claims:

The credit of this article goes to Dr. Zaghlool Al-Najjar; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.  Let us look at the following Divine and Miraculous Statement by Allah Almighty that was said 1,500 years ago about low air pressure in space, lack of breathing oxygen, and fatal increase in fluids, gases and temperature inside the body.

The Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions.  These are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth and in the Universe.  What's most amazing is that all of these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day scientific discoveries.  Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood.  The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.

Allah Almighty Said: "We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?  (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"

It is, first of all, important to know that Noble Verses 15:97and 26:13, below, give further evidence about the feeling of chest-pain.  The following Noble Verse 6:125, never spoke about a literal and physical shrinking of the chest's flesh and bones, because the tightness of the chest is referred to those who reject faith and have a grudge or bitterness against Islam, and Noble Verses 15:97and 26:13, below, clearly and indisputably prove it.  Does your chest decrease in size when you feel very angry or bitter toward something or someone?  The obvious answer is no, and therefore, Noble Verse 6:125 clearly is speaking metaphorically and not literally.

Also, as clearly shown in the ample translations of Noble Verse 6:125, the Arabic word حرجا  does indeed mean intolerant, and ضيقا  does indeed mean tight:

"Whomever GOD wills to guide, He renders his chest wide open to Submission. And whomever He wills to send astray, He renders his chest intolerant and tight, like one who climbs towards the sky. GOD thus places a curse upon those who refuse to believe.  (The Noble Quran, 6:125)"

As scientifically proven, this is due to the fact that air pressure in the upper parts of our atmosphere is very low, and is close to nil in space, while it is much higher inside our bodies, and also there is no oxygen to breathe in the upper parts of our atmosphere.

Now, as clearly and indisputably proven in the Scientific articles in the next Main sections below, since the air pressure inside the human body increases to balance out the low air pressure outside the body as he physically ascends in the air, the overwhelming increase of pressure inside the body and chest (lungs) would cause:

1-  An unbearable discomfort and pain.

2-  The chest wouldn't be big enough to contain the expanding air pressure and fluids inside the body, and therefore, the chest itself would become "strait and narrow", because while the flesh and bones themselves wouldn't grow/expand in size, but their stretching (to the point of death) would cause the chest to be strait and narrow to a point where the person wouldn't be able to breath.  See Noble Verses 15:97and 26:13 below for further proofs.

Please also visit:  The overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Noble Quran section.

Also, Allah Almighty Said that the space outside earth at anytime is absolutely black, and that it is the day-layer that reveals the sun's radiant-lights and not the sun that reveals the day.  This has all been scientifically confirmed.

Now, the Arabic word "sadr", which was translated as "breast" does also mean chest.  As a matter of a fact, the common meaning of the word today in modern-day Arabic is chest.

Also, even the English translators of the Noble Quran do not always consistently translate sadr as breast:

Anyway, "sadr" in Noble Verse 6:125, above, is referring to the breathing and the physical feeling that you have inside your chest.  It is not referring to the flesh, nipples and bones of the chest physically decreasing in size.  Your breathing and all the physical feeling inside your chest and lungs will get "narrowed" and you will start feeling "strait" and painful pressure and lack of oxygen as you continue to ascend toward space.  The "narrowness" that Allah Almighty is talking about here is the physical feeling that you have inside your chest.  This is clearly proven in the next Noble Verses 15:97 and 26:13 below.  The infidel would feel so resentful toward Islam, that the grudge would feel like a frustration in his chest.

In other words, you start feeling the great discomfort and "strait" (from the pressure of your chest) as you ascend more and more toward space.  So the Noble Word "dayyaqa" (Makes narrow), is derived from the root word "deeq", and it is metaphoric for the great discomfort and strait feeling that a person would have for ascending into space.  This is clearly proven in the following Noble Verses:

Noble Verse 15:97:

"And surely We know that your chest straightens (yadeequ) at what they say; (The Noble Quran, 15:97)"

Their words here obviously do not cause a literal shrinking of the chest.  The Arabic word "yadeequ" is derived from the root word "deeq".  Their words do not cause a literal shrinking of the chest.  The Noble Verse is rather speaking about the feeling of frustration and discomfort that the person feels in his chest.

Noble Verse 26:13:

"And my breast straightens (yadeequ), and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);  (The Noble Quran, 26:13)"

The Arabic word "yadeequ" is again derived from the root word "deeq".  And again, the word doesn't mean literal shrinking of the chest.

How did a Bedouin who lived in the middle of the desert 1500 years ago know that if we were to ascend to space, and as we reach the end of our earth's atmosphere, we start losing Oxygen and begin to feel the painful atmospheric low pressure that will cause much damage and eventually death to our bodies if we had no protection?

3-  The Scientific Proofs to the Noble Quran's Divine Claims:

The following are official and objective scientific web sites on the internet that contain scientific information that confirms the Truthfulness of the Divine Claims in the Noble Quran.

From Dr. Harun Yahya at: http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_85.html:

CHEST CONTRACTION WITH INCREASING HEIGHT

Human beings need oxygen and air pressure in order to live. Breathing is made possible by the oxygen in the atmosphere reaching the air sacs in our lungs. As elevation rises, however, atmospheric pressure goes down as the atmosphere becomes thinner. Therefore, the amount of oxygen entering the blood stream declines and it becomes harder to breathe. As the air sacs grow narrow and contract, we feel as if we cannot breathe.

If the amount of oxygen in the blood is less than the body needs, several symptoms emerge: extreme fatigue, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and loss of judgement. When a certain height is reached, it finally becomes impossible for a human being to breathe at all.173 This is why we need oxygen bottles and special clothing in order to survive at such elevations.

Someone at 5,000-7,500 metres (16,500-24,500 feet) above sea-level may faint and go into a coma because of breathing difficulties. That explains the presence of oxygen equipment in airplanes. There are also special systems that regulate air pressure when planes fly at 9,000-10,000 metres (29,500-33,000 feet) above sea-level.

Anoxia occurs when oxygen fails to reach the tissues. This oxygen deficiency occurs at heights of 3,000-4,500 metres (10,000-15,000 feet). Some people even lose consciousness at such elevations, but can be saved by immediate oxygen treatment.

In the comparison made in the verse below, this physical truth, the changes that take place in the chest with increasing height, is indicated in these terms:

When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those who have no faith. (Qur'an, 6:125)

From http://science.howstuffworks.com/space-suit3.htm:

Jet Aircraft
When jet aircraft were developed, pilots needed pressurized flight suits to cope with the low atmospheric pressure and lack of oxygen at high altitudes. Most of these suits were designed to be used only when the pressurized cabin failed. The suits consisted of neoprene rubber-coated fabric that could inflate like a balloon, and a more rigid fabric over the neoprene to restrain the suit and direct the pressure inward on the pilot. Hoses were attached from the plane to the suit to provide oxygen.

"Astronauts must wear bulky outfits called spacesuits to protect them from the harsh environment and lack of oxygen in space."

High-Altitude Research a Thrill for Aerospace Corporation Engineer

By Dave Gutierrez

I grew up with the space program. The sky has always been an inspiring place to me. The love of space brought me to The Aerospace Corporation, where I've spent 11 years designing, building and deploying science experiments.

My involvement for the last two years in the development of an infrared system called SHARP, the SEBASS High-Altitude Research Project, landed me in a unique and challenging assignment last year as a payload specialist on NASA's high-altitude research aircraft, the WB-57. It was the culmination of a childhood dream.

The vehicle holds two crew members: the pilot and the payload specialist. I began training last March for my role as "backseater" on this unique aircraft, performs upper-atmospheric sampling and Earth reconnaissance.

Survival Course

After receiving an extensive physical examination at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, I headed for the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., for a four-day water survival course.

The training covered all aspects of sea survival, from aircraft ejection and water landings under a parachute to rescue and recovery operations. I swam 75 yards in flight gear, was shot from an ejection seat in a simulator, and was hoisted by a helicopter from open water. The training culminated in two parasail rides, each followed by an open-water landing, requiring me to use the skills I'd learned during the course.

I underwent physiology training for low- and high-altitude flight at Edwards Air Force Base, where I experienced five hypobaric chamber rides which demonstrated the effects of hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and pressure changes on the body.

Painful bloating can occur at altitude pressures above 40,000 feet. The training teaches subjects how the body reacts to hypoxia and how to respond quickly should it occur.

Pressure Suit

High-altitude flight--above 50,000 feet--requires the use of a fully pressurized flight suit. The suits are similar to those worn by pilots aboard the SR-71 Blackbird and the space shuttle during ascent. At Edwards I was fitted for my own suit and received the requisite training.

I underwent another round of water training, this time in the pressure suit. The highlight was a hypobaric chamber ride to a pressure altitude of more than 100,000 feet (20 miles). The suit inflates to keep pressure around the body at about 35,000 feet, a good compromise for breathing pure oxygen and the lack of mobility caused by the stiffness of the suit.

While passing through 60,000 feet, water in a small jar placed inside the chamber began boiling. This is Armstrong's Line, the point at which bodily fluids would begin vaporizing if no suit were worn.

I had always wondered what it would be like to wear a space suit. It is pretty confining, and if you are at all claustrophobic, it's stressful. Other than radio chatter, you hear only your heart beating and the sound of oxygen flowing into the helmet during each breath.

The suits are cooled and heated with conditioned air supplied by the vehicle. It is normal, however, to experience wide temperature variations during suitup, taxi and takeoff as well as during the mission itself. Current mission scenarios require the suits to be worn for up to seven hours. They are outfitted with eating and drinking ports and yes, bathroom facilities.

Ground School, Flight Training

I spent a week in Houston last July for ground school and flight training in the aircraft. My instructor was NASA pilot Steve Feaster, who has logged thousands of hours in this type of aircraft.

I spent the first part of the week learning about the craft's systems and familiarizing myself with the cockpit. The backseat area is small, roughly the size of a coach seat on a commercial airliner. My primary responsibilities would be programming the Inertial Navigation System (INS) and reading checklists to the pilot. My main duties would be operating and evaluating the SHARP sensor and the special tracking system on which it is mounted.

After programming the INS for a trip over the Gulf of Mexico toward Corpus Christi, we took off on my first flight.

The aircraft accelerates quickly and climbs at an amazing rate. We leveled off just below 50,000 feet and practiced several emergency scenarios. After a few hours in the air we returned for several touch-and-go landings before completing the flight.

The next morning we suited up with full pressure suits for a high-altitude flight. I was anxious but realized this would probably be my best opportunity to relax and enjoy the view, not yet having to concentrate on operating the SHARP sensor.

Curvature of Earth Visible

On this flight we reached 63,000 feet. The curvature of the Earth was visible. With more than 96 percent of the atmosphere below us, the top of the troposphere was visible as a bluish-white arc on the horizon. The sky above was dark, like a normal sky about 30 to 40 minutes after sunset.

My final flight was a checkout ride to 50,000 feet, where I applied all of the skills I had learned during my week of training. We simulated engine loss scenarios, hydraulic failures and midcourse reprogramming of the INS. I successfully completed the flight, earning qualification as a NASA crew member and backseater for the WB-57.

The SHARP project has now entered the flight test phase. I have flown with the system twelve times, accumulating about 40 hours in the aircraft. The aircraft operations are becoming more natural, allowing me to focus on evaluating sensor performance and troubleshooting anomalies.

During my last flight in November our team collected longwave infrared hyperspectral data on more than 90 percent of the targets deployed during flight tests at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Aerospace engineers Brad Johnson and Steve Hansel were instrumental in the successful integration of the sensor during this first series of flights.

This has been the experience of a lifetime, and I'm looking forward to future flights with SHARP aboard the WB-57.
