The Quran on Mountains:
A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots.1 These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg (see figures 7, 8, and 9).



the Figure7 in this link:

Figure 7: Mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground. (Earth, Press and Siever, p. 413.)

Figure 8: Schematic section. The mountains, like pegs, have deep roots embedded in the ground. (Anatomy of the Earth, Cailleux, p. 220.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)

Figure 9: Another illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to their deep roots. (Earth Science, Tarbuck and Lutgens, p. 158.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)


This is how the Quran has described mountains. God has said in the Quran:

Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Quran, 78:6-7)

Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground (see figure 9) and that these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground.2 So the most suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word ?peg,? since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century.3

Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth.4 They hinder the shaking of the earth. God 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.5

Could anyone during the time of the Prophet Muhammad 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.

this fact lead to believe that(Mouhammad is prophet)

1) Pegs also stick out of the ground, it also makes sense for him to be using that description for them. Also, anyone who has ever climbed in to a long cavern knows that it goes below the surface of the earth. Even people 5000 years ago who climbed in to caverns and walked down would have known that mountains are not just big rocks sitting on land. This isn't amazing scientific truth in the Qur'an, this is basic observation.

2) Now as for "He has set up mountains on the earth so it would not shake with you." Honestly, even if the mountains were not there, you still wouldn't shake the earth no matter how hard you shake your booty to music. What exactly does mohammad think people are doing when he says that the mountains are preventing the earth from "shaking with you?" If all that he had said was "He has set up mountains to reduce the shaking of the earth" then I'd be impressed, but since he thinks that the mountains are stopping ME from shaking the earth, I consider him to be stupid.

3) Ancient people knew a lot more than we think, the Mayans had mathematics that were incredibly advanced and they had intricitate understandings of our solar system. That doesn't mean God told them. Mohammed getting a general understanding of mountains from walking down a cavern in a mountain isn't special, and his comment on mountains stopping me from shaking the earth is at best 50% insight and 50% stupid.

Heads, take the piss. Tails, keep it semi serious.

Tails it is.

So are you saying that Mohammed was a scientist way ahead of his time?

That would add to his political, trading, and warring accomplishments.

Not bad for an orphan. Very worldly indeed by all accounts. He did better than Joseph Smith, I would have to give him that.


God bless you.
