MIRACLE IN HOLY QURAN "MOUNTAINS STABILIZES THE EARTH" Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth. They hinder the shaking of the earth. Allah has said in the Quran: "And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you..." (Quran, 16:15) Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960’s. Could anyone during the time of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH (to whom Allah revealed the Quran) have known of the true shape of mountains? Could anyone imagine that the solid massive mountain which he sees before him actually extends deep into the earth and has a root, as scientists assert? A large number of books of geology, when discussing mountains, only describe that part which is above the surface of the earth. This is because these books were not Written by specialists in geology. However, modern geology has confirmed the truth of the Quranic verses.
