Islam and Evidence

During earthquakes, the heavy substances below the surface have an opportunity to rise, and the Earth thus disgorges its charges, as revealed in the Qur'an. Moreover, those regions where metal reserves are most concentrated are also those with the greatest volcanic activity. These scientific findings, which emerged only recently, and as a result of wide-ranging research, are just some of the scientific facts indicated by Allah in the Qur'an. https://islamic-audio-book.com/25-the-earths-disgorges-its-charges/

One item of information about the Earth given in the Quran is its similarity to the seven-layered sky. The truth of this similarity between the sky and the layers of the Earth, only identified by 20th century technology, is without doubt another of the Quran's scientific miracles.

This property of the atmosphere’s layers, that was only demonstrated in the recent past was announced centuries ago in the Quran. https://islamic-audio-book.com/23-the-sky-that-returns/

The Qur'an describes the sky as a dome, and the Earth as a couch for you. The Quran mentions the protective properties of the atmosphere and the special creation of the Earth. https://islamic-audio-book.com/22-the-sky-made-a-dome/

Centuries ago, Allah informed us in the Quran of the world's atmosphere functioning as a protective shield. https://islamic-audio-book.com/21-the-well-guarded-sky/

The Qur'an reveals that the sky comprises seven layers and that the Earth's atmosphere consists of different layers that lie on top of each other.

The seven layers of the atmosphere are as follows: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere. Each layer has a particular function, ranging from forming rain to preventing harmful rays, from reflecting radio waves to averting the harmful effects of meteors.

The Quran uses the plural form of the word "qutr" to refer to the Earth's many diameters, and this is important because it indicates the Earth's geoid shape.

The second noteworthy subject in the verse is that the Earth and the heavens are mentioned separately in reference to diameters. The definition of the "confines of the heavens" in Surat ar-Rahman 33 indicates the spherical structure of space.

Cloud masses are pulled from West to East by the rotation of the Earth. When the Qur'an revealed this scientific fact 1,400 years ago, the Earth was believed to be flat and resting on the back of an elephant.

The Qur'an uses remarkable words to describe the universe, such as "to wrap the night up in the day" and "to wrap the day up in the night".

The Qur'an gives accurate information about the shape of the world, even though the understanding of astronomy of the time perceived the world differently.

The word "khunnas" in Surat at-Takwir 15 refers to shrinking and cowering, retracting and turning back. The word "jawaar" refers to one that moves and flows, and the word "khunnas" refers to the attraction of the planets towards their own centres and the Sun.

The Qur'an indicates that gravity, the force that attracts objects to the centre, already existed in the universe, but that it could only be revealed with mathematical formulae by Sir Isaac Newton.
