The Qur'an On Mountains |
A
book entitled "Earth" is considered a basic reference
text in many universities around the world. One of the authors
of this book is Frank Press. He is currently the President of
the Academy of Sciences in the USA. Previously, he was the science
advisor to former USA President Jimmy Carter. His book says that
mountains have underlying roots (p.
435). These roots are deeply embedded
in the ground. So mountains have a shape like a peg
as is seen in an example on page 220 in the same book. Another
illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape,
due to their deep roots (p. 158).
This is how the Qur'an described mountains. God said in the Qur'an: "Have
We not made the earth as a bed and the mountains as pegs?"
