The Earth’s Water

he radius of the earth is Talmost 6,400 km and its medial crustal thickening is 30 km below the continents and mountains …

he radius of the earth is Talmost 6,400 km and its medial crustal thickening is 30 km below the continents and mountains, but it becomes around 5 km below sea beds and oceans. Such layer is thin and breakable and that’s why the earth’s crust is divided into 12 plates or more. Enormous masses of seas, therefore, slip from the bottom of oceans and dive under the ground. Scientists are concerned about the loss of quantities of fresh water deep under the ground and the inability of people to make use of it. All glory to Allah, the almighty for the holy Qur’an warns against such a phenomenon and talks about the possibility of disappearance of water under the layers of the earth. Allah, the exalted says in the holy Qur’an:

“And We send down water from the sky according to (due) measure, and We cause it to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).” Mu’minun or the Believers: 23: 18

Allah also says in the holy Qur’an:

“Say: "See ye?- If your stream be some morning lost (in the underground earth), who then can supply you with clear-flowing water?"” Mulk: 67: 30

Shall we then return to the path of Allah, the exalted!

The colors and number seven

The word “colors” was repeated in Qur’an, is there any relation between number of colors of the light spectrum and number of repeating that word? Let us read….

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines on to droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. It takes the form of a multi coloured arc. The rainbow consists of seven colors as the following:

 

and the most strange thing is that the word ”colors” was mentioned in Qur’an seven times equals to the number of colors in the spectrum of light. Allah Almighty says:

1.         (And whatsoever He has created for you on this earth of varying colors Verily! In this is a sign for people who remember){Sûrat An-Nahl- The Bees-verse13 }

2.         ("Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." 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- The Bees-verse69}

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- The Romans-verse22 }

4.         (See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce therewith fruits of varying colors){Sûrat Fâtir- The Originator of Creation-verse27 }

5.         (And among the mountains are streaks white and red, of varying colors and (others) very black.) ){Sûrat Fâtir- The Originator of Creation-verse27 }

6.         (And of men and Ad*Dawab (moving living creatures, beasts, etc.), and cattle, in like manner of various colors) {Sûrat Fâtir- The Originator of Creation-verse28 }

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){Sûrat Az-Zumar- The Groups-verse21} 

The question, is it a coincidence or a proof that Qur’an is a divine book?

The Lower Heavens

contemplate the galaxies of the universe, we’ll realise that such galaxies consist of billions of stars and such stars adorn the sky, heavens …

 What’s meant by lower heavens that are mentioned in the holy Qur'an? If we contemplate the galaxies of the universe, we’ll realise that such galaxies consist of billions of stars and such stars adorn the sky, heavens. It could be said, therefore, that all the stars and galaxies that we see around us is within the boundaries of the lower heavens because Allah, the exalted says in the holy Qur’an:

“So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.” Fussilat: 41:12

Lights in the above verse means stars and as we know that stars are outside the solar group and the closest star to us in planet earth is 4.3 light years away i.e. all the stars we see adorn the first or lower heavens. As for the other heavens, merely Allah, the omniscient knows their boundaries.
