Collection: Earth Shrinking
Recent discoveries have stated that Because of Earth's gaseous gifts to space, our planet — or, to be specific, the atmosphere — is shrinking or getting smaller, according to Guillaume Gronoff, a senior research scientist who studies atmospheric escape at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia. You may also independently confirm it by conducting a google search.
Here's what the Quran states 1400 years ago:
[Quran 21:44]
In fact, We have allowed enjoyment for these and their forefathers for such a long time ˹that they took it for granted˺. Do they not see how We come to the Earth and gradually reduce it from its borders? Is it they who will then overcome?
[Quran 13:41]
Do they not see that We come to the Earth and gradually reduce it from its borders? Allah decides—none can reverse His decision. And He is swift in reckoning.
Or were they created by nothing, or are they [their own] creators?
[QURAN 52:35]
Or did they create the Heavens and the Earth? Rather, they are not certain.
[QURAN 52:36]
Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord, or are they in control [of everything]?
[QURAN 52:37]
Or do they have a stairway [into the Heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear proof.
[QURAN 52:38]
