Every time the scientists discover a new reality, we realize that the Qur'an told us about it. One of these phenomena is the atmosphere of the earth especially the layer of Ionosphere which protects the earth and reflects the electromagnetic waves…. |
A new research by NASA confirmed that the atmosphere is very important to keep earth stable, and to save it from the strong solar storms. They sent many satellites to different orbits around the earth and they found that the layer of the ionosphere contain ionized atoms which are full of electrons and it extends over the surface of the earth up to one thousand kilometer.
They call it the reflector, as the best word to express it in the Arabic language is the return. So we have to know that this layer return the transmitted electromagnetic waves by human which enables the different digital communications to continue, also it return the solar storms and reflect it to the space to save the earth from any harm.
A drawing to show the dark side and the luminous side of earth, and also it is a try to explain the phenomenon of aurora borealis . It became clear that turning of the earth around itself causes the succession of day and night so that turning is so important for the stability of earth and the continuation of life, do we remember the grace of day and night? God says :( Say (O Muhammad): "Tell me! If Allah made the night continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, which ilâh (god) besides Allah could bring you light? Will you not then hear?"* Say (O Muhammad): "Tell me! If Allah made the day continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, which ilâh (god) besides Allah could bring you night wherein you rest? Will you not then see?"* It is out of His Mercy that He has made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein (i.e. during the night) and that you may seek of His Bounty (i.e. during the day) - and in order that you may be grateful.)(Sûrat Al-Qasas -verse 71-73) source of the drawing is: NASA
Indeed, we are inattentive about these graces because that atmosphere works from millions of years and it protect us from the harmful rays of the sun. But the atheists refuse these graces, so God says :( And we have made the heaven a roof, safe and well guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs (i.e. sun, moon, winds, clouds, etc.))(Sûrat Al-Anbiyâ’- verse 32). Surely, we find that scientists of the west know and believe that the atmosphere of the earth protects us and has many benefits to all creatures, but they are talking about it as if it was made by coincidence and they forget that Allah is the creator of everything.
Hence, the Qur'an talked about the function of the reflection and also the layer of the ionosphere and He swear by them as He says :( By the heaven which returns * and by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the Sprouting of vegetation)* Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil)) (Sûrat at-Târiq – verse 11-13). Who knows that the heaven (which includes the atmosphere) reflect and return any thing collide with it?!! Who knows that the heaven protect and save the earth from harmful things such as: solar storms, meteors, stones, etc………..also all of these objects surround our solar system from millions of years and they are kept away from us. Who keep all of these objects away?
Allah is the doer who reminds us with his graces as He says :( Or do ye feel secure that He who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was my warning?)(Sûrat Al-Mulk-verse 17). Here we have to remember the second verse we read in the Qur'an which is :( All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)) (Sûrat AlFâtihah-verse2).
Therefore we say "Glory to Allah" which is easy in saying. But the atheists are denying the graces of Allah and they believe that all of that were done by a blind coincidence, God says :( Say (O Muhammad): "Praise and thanks be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He has chosen (for His Message)! Is Allah better, or (all) that you ascribe as partners (to Him)?" (Of course, Allah is better) * 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 ilâh (God) with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who ascribe equals (to Him)!* is not He (better than your gods) who has made the earth as a fixed abode, and has placed rivers in its midst, and has placed firm mountains therein, and has set a barrier between the two seas (of salt and sweet water)? Is there any ilâh (God) with Allah? Nay, but most of them know not!* is not He (better than your gods) who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any ilâh (God) with Allah? Little is that you remember!* Is not He (better than your gods) Who guides you in the darkness of the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy (rain)? Is there any ilâh (God) with Allah? High Exalted be Allah above all that they associate as partners (to Him)!* is not He (better than your so-called gods) who originates creation, and shall thereafter repeat it, and who provides for you from heaven and earth? Is there any ilâh (God) with Allah? Say: "Bring forth your proofs, if you are truthful.")(Sûrat an-Naml- verse 59-64).
