color difference
Do colors affect our life? How can we change our
life by use of colors? Why God choose the green
color for heaven? And black for hell? Is there any
kind of miracle? Let us read…
There are many signs around us and we see
these signs but we are inattentive from it. One of
these signs is colors which are exploited to us by
God, so what is the new discovery about colors?
And how did Qur'an refer to that? God says :
( And among His Signs is the creation of the
heavens and the earth, and the difference of your
languages and colors. Verily, in that are indeed
signs for men of sound knowledge .)(Surat Ar-
Rum- verse 22). This verse confirms that there is
a miracle in color difference and we have to look
attentively at this verse and glorify God to
increase out faith.
What is the color?
All seen colors have one origin. That is our eyes
get affect by light, and for each color there is a
specific frequency .it’s a mercy form God that we
don't see all frequencies, but we only see a little
part of it which is the seen spectrum. According
to the length of light wave, we only see colors
with wave length ranging from 400 nanometer to
700 nanometer (nanometer is a part of billion of
the meter).
When the light beam falls on any thing and we
see that thing in white, it means that it reflects all
colors and doesn't absorb any of them. If we see
anything in black it means that it absorb all
colors and doesn't reflect any other color.
Anything is colored in red means it absorbs all
colors and reflects only the red.
As we mentioned, light is only a wave with a
specific frequency, so red is a wave with
frequency, also green is a similar wave but with a
greater frequency. Etc……so that colors are differs
from each others due to the wave length and also
due to its frequency. We have to look attentively
at the following verse, God says :( See you not
that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky,
and we produce therewith fruits of various colors,
and among the mountains are streaks white and
red, of varying colors and (others) very black.*
And likewise of men and cattle, are of various
colors. It is only those who have knowledge
among His slaves that fear Allah. Verily, Allah is
All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving. )( Sûrat Fâtir – verse
27-28) in that verse God mentioned a very
strange statement, God says ( It is only those who
have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah )
which means that scientists should be more
afraid from their God than anyone else. In fact
this verse was a reason for many non Muslims to
be Muslims because they realized that this
statement is not a human made and it is a divine
made.
Also we have to read the following verses :( See
you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from
the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, (and
then makes it to spring up) as water-springs, and
afterward thereby produces crops of different
colors, and afterward they wither and you see
them turn yellow; then He makes them dry and
broken pieces. Verily, in this is a Reminder for
men of understanding.* is he whose breast Allah
has opened to Islam, so that he is in light from
His Lord (as he who is a non-Muslim)? So woe
to those whose hearts are hardened against
remembrance of Allah! They are in plain error )
( Sûrat AZ-Zumar- verse 21-22 ). From this verse
we can see the divine link between difference in
colors in ( different colors )and the belief in ( is he
whose breast Allah has opened to Islam ), as God
gives us a sign to the importance of realizing
difference in colors, especially there is one soil
and one water but the outcome are different.
Colors and eye
Scientists confirm that no one can imitate the
human eye because it contains millions of cells
which work together in precise coordination and
in a very small space, so we have to thank God
for that grace , God says:( And Allah has brought
you out from the wombs of your mothers while
you know nothing. And He gave you hearing,
sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to
Allah ).)(Sûrat An-Nahl- verse 78), also God says:
(It is He who has created for you hearing (ears),
eyes (sight), and hearts (understanding). Little
thanks you give. )(Sûrat Al-Mu’minûn – verse 78)
How do colors differ?
Each man has a favorite color which suit
vibrations of his body (natural resonance), also
all creatures vibrate in an amazing and precise
system. Scientists studied the phenomenon of
color difference and its effect in world of plants,
insects and animal.
During the process of photosynthesis , Plant
absorbs the incoming photons(from sun) and then
it save it to be a chemical energy in its leaves ,
God created a very precise program inside these
plants to absorb only the green light so that we
find plants in green color !
But ,the green light don't reach plants in the deep
seas so that it absorbs the blue color and this is
a very complicated operation ,NASA scientists
studied this operation and they discovered that
color of plant differs due to its ability to absorb
the light spectrum, scientists say that without the
ability of the plants to absorb a specific light , our
world would be in black color , also scientists
believe that nature is not able to generate these
kind of complicated programs to generate this
diversity in colors , there must be a dominating
power to control all of that. It is the divine power,
God says :( And whatsoever He has created for
you on the earth of varying colors [and qualities
from vegetation and fruits (botanical life) and
from animals (zoological life)] Verily! In this is a
sign for people who remember. )( Sûrat An-Nahl -
verse 13).
Scientists observe "the plant cover "and they
concluded that plant doesn't absorb Infrared ray
but it reflects it which contribute in organizing
temperature of the atmosphere.
Color and the psychological effect
Indeed, colors have its psychological effect, each
color has its private frequency, and this frequency
affects our eyes. When we see a color, the
frequency of that color is transferred through the
eye into brain and affects brain cells. Colors have
an effect on our personality and we can analyze
personality of people if we know their favorite
colors. In fact there is no documented scientific
study about effect of color on human but only
notices by scientists. God says :( And whatsoever
He has created for you on the earth of varying
colors [and qualities from vegetation and fruits
(botanical life) and from animals (zoological life)]
Verily! In this is a sign for people who remember .)
( Sûrat An-Nahl - verse 13).
Red color
Scientists observed a clear Physiological effect for
the Red as being exposed to that color for long
time may increase blood pressure , also it has an
effect on glands of our body ,therefore it activate
body cells and increase its energy , if we decrease
the red color to be pink so effect will decrease .
Orange
Researchers confirm that this color affect our
immunity system, our immunity increases if we
are exposed to orange for long time. That may be
because vibrations of immunity cells agree with
frequency of Orange.
Yellow
Today, researchers link between yellow and
activity of brain cells, also yellow increase
pleasure, some researchers link between yellow
and fear and death , but it is not based on any
kind of scientific proof.
Green
Some researchers believe that green is useful for
heart, and it helps to deep breathing. Also it helps
in rebalancing all cells. Green makes people
happy so that we find doctors in surgery rooms
wearing green to make their patients happier and
more optimistic.
Blue
It helps in reducing blood pressure, and it has an
analgesic effect on body. It activates pituitary
gland, also it helps to sleep deeply and it
strengthens marrow of bones. Some people
believe that blue helps in creativity.
Violet
It helps in calming anger. This color is the most
important one in emotional stability and changing
life of people.
Brown
Researchers believe that this is the color of
stability also it is the color of nature as soil is
brown so that it reminds us with simplicity and
humility.
Black
This is a negative color and it is not useful for
treatment. Some people see black as the color of
dignity; others believe that black refers to
sadness.
Islam believes that all colors are important and
they complementary with each others.
White
It brings peace and rest and erases desperation,
so that people who are in desperation may wear
white clothes to decrease that desperation.
Colors are repeated in Qur'an exactly as number
of colors in spectrum
We know that the visible light spectrum consists
of seven colors which are (Red, Orange, yellow,
green, blue and violet), we have to mention that
Qur'an mentioned colors seven times in the
following verses:
1. ( And whatsoever He has created
for you on the earth of varying colors [and
qualities from vegetation and fruits (botanical life)
and from animals (zoological life)] Verily! In this
is a sign for people who remember. )( Sûrat An-
Nahl - verse 13).
2. ( There comes forth from their
bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing
for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people
who think. )( Sûrat An-Nahl - verse 69 ) .
3. ( And among His Signs is the
creation of the heavens and the earth, and the
difference of your languages and colors. Verily, in
that are indeed signs for men of sound
knowledge.) ( Sûrat Ar-Rûm- verse 22)
4. ( See you not that Allah sends
down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce
therewith fruits of various colors ) (Sûrat Fâtir –
verse 27).
5. ( And among the mountains are
streaks white and red, of varying colors and
(others) very black.) (Sûrat Fâtir – verse 27).
6. (And likewise of men and Ad-
Dawâbb [moving (living) creatures, beasts], and
cattle, are of various colors. It is only those who
have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah.
Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving.) (Sûrat
Fâtir –verse 28).
7. (See you not that Allah sends
down water (rain) from the sky, and causes it to
penetrate the earth, (and then makes it to spring
up) as water-springs, and afterward thereby
produces crops of different colors, and afterward
they wither and you see them turn yellow; then
He makes them dry and broken pieces. Verily, in
this is a Reminder for men of understanding .)
(Sûrat AZ-Zumar- verse 21).
We ask a question for people who may think that
Qur'an is a human made: Colors are repeated in
Qur'an exactly as number of colors in spectrum,
is it just a kind of coincidence or it is the power
of almighty God?
Color is a method to think and remember
My dear, have you ever think about flowers and
its wonderful colors? Please, read the previous
verses again as God made a link between color
difference and remembrance, god says : ( In this is
a sign for people who remember.) And he made a
link with thinking, he says : ( in this is indeed a
sign for people who think.) Also God made a link
with science as color difference argues scientists
to study this phenomenon to believe in the
greatness of the creator, God says : ( in that are
indeed signs for men of sound knowledge) .at the
end of the verse God told us that color difference
is to remind people who have brains, God says:
( in this is a Reminder for men of understanding) .
Researchers believe that the phenomenon of color
difference is amazing, how can flowers to
organize its colors in a great harmony? Who
made that? How can it receive instructions to
produce this fantastic coordination?
Answer is so simple, God says : ( He is Allah, the
Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Best
former. To Him belong the Best Names. All that is
in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He
is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. )( Sûrat Al-Hashr -
verse 24).
Healing by colors
The idea of healing by colors depends on that
color is a frequency of an electromagnetic wave,
so by using a specific color we can modify
frequencies of the body. each one has an
electromagnetic field around his or her body , this
field get affected by colors of clothes and all
surrounded colors, so that when we are in a
garden we feel with psychological rest because of
the effect of the reflected frequencies of green
color on our body.
Here we have to remember a great verse to
remind us with the effect of green nature on our
life, God says : ( Is not He (better than your Gods)
who created the heavens and the earth, and
sends down for you water (rain) from the sky,
whereby we cause to grow wonderful gardens full
of beauty and delight? It is not in your ability to
cause the growth of their trees. Is there any (God)
with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who
ascribe equals (to Him)) ( Sûrat An-Naml- verse
60). It is nice to mention that some researchers
in west treat their patients (especially with
depression) by looking at plants and green
nature.
What may happen if colors disappeared?
Colors are just a grace from our creator be he
blessed and exalted and we have to thank him for
that , if the world is only in white and black ,
people may be infected by depression and fear .
Colors are a source of happiness and optimism.
as a method of getting confessions form prisoners
, they put the prisoner in a room with one color
(red for example) so that he became not able to
stay for a long time in that room and he might
infected by depression which leads him to confess
with all what he knows to end that situation . So
imagine if we are in one color world, it would be
as a big prison. Thanks God for your graces.
Yellow between happiness and death
God says : ( and afterward they wither and you
see them turn yellow; then He makes them dry
and broken pieces) ( Sûrat AZ-Zumar - verse 21)
God mentioned yellow five times in Qur'an, some
times to refer to happiness and other times to
refer to death, in other word the stage before
death. Pale yellow refers to death and end of life
and bright yellow refers to joy and happiness, God
says : ( It is a yellow cow, bright in its color,
pleasing to the beholders) ( Sûrat Al-Baqarah-
verse 69 ), read again the verse (pleasing to the
beholders.) So that yellow is a pleasing color.
Also God says : ( It is He Who sends down water
(rain) from the sky, and with it We bring forth
vegetation of all kinds, and out of it We bring
forth green stalks) ( Sûrat Al-An’âm - verse
99)researchers confirm that green is a sign for life
, God says: ( and seven green ears of corn, and
(seven) others dry) ( Sûrat Yûsuf - verse 43). So
green is a sign for life and pale yellow for death.
People in heaven are in green clothes
God says about clothes of people in heaven: (and
they will wear green garments of fine and thick
silk) (Sûrat Al-Kahf- verse 31). Also he says
about cushions in heaven :( Reclining on green
cushions and rich beautiful mattresses.)( Sûrat Ar-
Rahmân- verse 76)
We can realize from reading Qur'an that green is
the color of heaven and also we have to realize
that prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) told
us that heaven has eight doors, is there a relation
between green and number of doors in heaven?
Green is repeated eight times
God mentioned green in Qur'an eight times. Read
the following verses:
1. (It is He, who sends down water
(rain) from the sky, and with it we bring forth
vegetation of all kinds, and out of it we bring
forth green stalks, from which we bring forth thick
clustered grain.)( Sûrat Al-An’âm- verse 99).
2. (and seven green ears of corn, and
(seven) others dry) ( Sûrat Yûsuf- verse 43) .
3. ( and of seven green ears of corn,
and (seven) others dry,) ( Sûrat Yûsuf- verse 46) .
4. (and they will wear green
garments of fine and thick silk)( Sûrat Al-Kahf-
verse 31).
5. (See you not that Allah sends
down water (rain) from the sky, and then the
earth becomes green ? Verily, Allah is the Most
Kind and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all
things.)( Sûrat Al-Hajj- verse63).
6. (He who produces for you fire out
of the green tree, when behold you kindles
therewith.) ( Sûrat Yâ-Sîn- verse 80).
7. (Reclining on green cushions and
rich beautiful mattresses.)( Sûrat Ar-Rahmân-
verse 76 ) .
8. (Their garments will be of fine
green silk and gold embroidery.)( Sûrat Al-Insân -
verse 21) .
Is it a kind of coincidence that number of doors
on heaven is eight and green was mentioned in
Qur'an eight times?
Black is repeated seven times in Qur'an
Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) told us
that hell is dark and black, we have to draw your
attention that God mentioned black seven times in
Qur'an, this is the same number as number of
doors of hell, God says :( And surely, Hell is the
promised place for them all.*It (Hell) has seven
gates, for each of those gates is a (special) class
(of sinners) assigned . )( Sûrat A-Hijr - verse
43-44).
Please read the following verses:
1. (and eat and drink until the white
thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct
from the black thread (darkness of night),) ( Sûrat
Al-Baqarah- verse 187).
2. (On the Day (Day of Resurrection)
when some faces will become white and some
faces will become black ) (Sûrat Âl-‘Imrân- verse
106).
3. (As for those whose faces will
become black (to them will be said): "Did you
reject Faith after accepting it? Then taste the
torment (in Hell) for rejecting Faith.") ( Sûrat
Âl-‘Imrân- verse 106) .
4. (And when the news of (the birth
of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his
face becomes blackish, and he is filled with
inward grief!)( Sûrat An-Nahl- verse 58) .
5. (And among the mountains are
streaks white and red, of varying colors and
(others) very black .)( Sûrat Fâtir –verse 27).
6. (And on the Day of Resurrection
you will see those who lied against Allah (i.e.
attributed to Him sons, partners) - their faces will
be black )( Sûrat Az- Zumar- verse 60 ) .
7. (And if one of them is informed of
the news of (the birth of a girl) that which he
sets forth as a parable to the Most Gracious
(Allah), his face becomes blackish, and he is filled
with grief!)( Sûrat AZ-Zukhruf- verse 17) .
What a great harmony , God mentioned green
color eight times in Qur'an and prophet Mohamed
(peace be up on him)told us that number of
doors of heaven are eight also, God mentioned
black color seven times in Qur'an and he told us
that number of doors of hell are seven), is there
any blind coincidence to do such thing?????
White is the most mentioned color in Qur'an
White was the favorite color for prophet Mohamed
(peace be upon him), he used to supplicate God
by saying :( O' God, please purify me from sins
as the white clothes are purified from dirt), also
white is a sign of success in day of resurrection.
God says : ( On the Day (Day of Resurrection)
when some faces will become white and some
faces will become black; as for those whose faces
will become black (to them will be said): "Did you
reject Faith after accepting it? Then taste the
torment (in Hell) for rejecting Faith."*And for
those whose faces will become white, they will be
in Allah's Mercy (Paradise), therein they shall
dwell forever.) ( Sûrat Âl-‘Imrân - verse 106-107).
So, colors determine our destination in day of
resurrection according to our deeds to drive us to
heaven or to hell.
Notice:
We received a notice from a French psychologist
who mentioned that doctors in surgery operations
room wear green; this color is Comfortable for the
eyes of doctors. Also they may wear blue to get
relaxing during operations.
