Whilst these verses might not necessarily reference the scientific findings mentioned here, they showcase how, even the most hard to imagine realities explained by the Quran, can be shown to be permissible with modern scientific discoveries. Cold plasma, or nonthermal plasma, is a state of matter where the electrons in the plasma are at extremely high temperatures while the ions and neutral particles remain near room temperature. This unique property allows cold plasma to exhibit characteristics of "fire" while being safe to touch or even capable of cooling rather than burning. Modern science has demonstrated its applications in fields like sterilization, medicine, and even food preservation.

Cold plasma differs significantly from traditional "fire" as we know it. For example: - Cold plasma can freeze instead of burn: While the electron temperature may be very high, the overall energy transfer to surrounding materials is minimal, making it safe for human interaction in certain settings. - Examples in use: The mercury vapor in fluorescent lights is a common example of nonthermal plasma, where the temperature of electrons can reach up to 20,000 K, but the surrounding gas remains near room temperature discovery sheds new light on the possibility of "cold fires," phenomena where plasma has the visual and energetic characteristics of fire without the destructive heat.

In Quran 21:69, a divine command transforms the fire intended to harm Prophet Abraham into a source of safety:

This verse has long been interpreted as a miraculous intervention, where the fire loses its burning quality while maintaining its visual and symbolic characteristics.

Skeptics once doubted the plausibility of such a concept, as fire has always been associated with heat and burning. However, the discovery of cold plasma provides a modern scientific framework to conceptualize a phenomenon where "fire" could exist without harmful heat. Although cold plasma and the Quranic event are not identical in context, the parallels are intriguing: - Safety and non-destructive nature: The fire in Abraham's story was rendered "cold and safe," analogous to the harmlessness of cold plasma. - Visual similarity to fire: Like cold plasma, which retains some visual resemblance to traditional fire, the Quranic fire could maintain its appearance while lacking heat.

While the Quran's account of the fire's transformation in the story of Abraham is traditionally viewed as a miraculous event, the concept of cold plasma—a fire-like phenomenon that does not burn—provides a modern analogy that was unknown 1400 years ago.
