Allah also protected the earth and its animate beings by providing the layers in the atmosphere. The scholars held that the earth is surrounded by the atmosphere, which is the body of air or gasses that protects the planet earth and enables life. Most of our atmosphere is located close to the earth’s surface. The air of our planet is 79 percent nitrogen and just under 21 percent oxygen, the small amount remaining is composed of carbon dioxide and other gases. There are five layers of the atmosphere: Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere — all having their distinct function, ranging from forming rain, preventing harmful rays, from reflecting radio waves and averting the harmful effects of meteors. Another immense protection Allah has provided for earth is its magnetic field, which originates predominantly in its deep interior. However, we have seen that Allah protected earth by providing it inside layers and layers in the atmosphere to make it safe abode for living creations on the earth. What an amazing creation with a well-devised minute cosmological system for its existence while traversing with tremendous speed on its orbit and axis with billion tons of weight. Allah said: “And measured therein, its sustenance, in four days, for all those who ask.”
