Geology in the Quran – Dr Zakir Naik

QMS-12

In the field of Geology, and the Geologist today they tell us that the radius of the earth on which we live is approximately 3750 miles. And the deeper layers they are hot and fluid, it cannot sustain life. And as you keep on going superficially it keeps on getting cooler. And the superficial crust on which we live it is hardly less than 30 miles in thickness. And the Geologist they tell us there are high possibilities that this superficial crust on which we live, it can shake. And today the Geologists tell us, they talk about the ‘folding phenomena’, which gives rise to mountain ranges. And because of these folding phenomena and because of this mountain there is stability on the earth.
The Qur’an says in Surah Naba, Chapter.No.78, Verse.No.6 and 7,
“We have made the earth as an expanse”,
“Wal Jibala Awtada”
“And the mountains as stakes’.
The Arabic word ‘Avtaad’, means ‘Stakes’, or ‘Tent Pegs’, like how we put a tent peg into the ground, we see only a small portion on the top, the major portion goes deep into the ground. So the Qur’an says the mountains are like tent pegs. And today science tells us that the mountains have got deep roots and the portion we see on the top is only a small portion like the tip of an ice berg. The major portion of the ice berg is in the water and only a small portion you see on the top. And science tells us that the mountains are put firmly on the earth.
And Qur’an gives this message 1400 years ago, in Surah Naziaat, Chapter.No.79, Verse.No.32.
As well as Surah Ghashiya, Chapter.No.88, Verse.No.19,
“That we have placed on the earth mountains standing firm’.
As far as the subject of Geology is concerned, a book by the name ‘The Earth’ which is known as the best text books in the field of geology and is referred in most of the universities in this subject. And one of his Authors, his name is Frank Press, who was the president of the Academy of sciences of USA, earlier and was also the advisor to the ex President of USA Jimmy Cartor, and he writes in his book and he draws the mountain and shows that the mountain has got deep roots in the shape of wedge, wedge shaped and he shows that the mountain which is seen above the surface of the earth is only a small portion, the major portion has got deep roots. And he writes in his book that “It is due to the mountain which prevents the earth from shaking” And this is exactly what is mentioned in the Qur’an 1400 years ago in
Surah Ambiya, Chapter.No.21, Verse.No.31, as well as Surah Luqman, Chapter.No.31, Verse.No.10, that
“We have placed on the earth, mountains standing firm lest it would shake with you”
The Qur’an specifically mentions that the function of the mountain is to prevent the earth from shaking, which we have come to know recently
