Collection: Internal Mountains
Modern Geological Discoveries:
Recent geological studies have revealed the existence of mountain-like structures deep beneath the Earth's surface. These subterranean mountains, discovered hundreds of miles below the surface, can be incredibly large, with some peaks estimated to be tens of miles high.
This understanding of Earth's internal structure is a relatively recent development in geology, made possible by advanced technology and seismic studies.
Quranic Reference to Subterranean Mountains:
In Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 31, the Quran states: "وَجَعَلْنَا فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ" which translates to "And We placed in earth mountains, lest it sways with them, and We placed therein signposts and passages, that they may be guided."
The use of the word "فِي" (Fee), meaning "inside," in this verse is interpreted as indicating the existence of mountains inside the Earth, contributing to its stability.
Significance of the Quranic Description:
The Quran's mention of mountains inside the Earth, over 1400 years ago, aligns with the modern geological discovery of subterranean mountain structures.
This correlation is seen by many as significant, suggesting an advanced understanding of Earth's internal structure long before such knowledge was accessible through modern science.
Interpretation:
For believers, the accuracy of this Quranic description is viewed as a sign of the Quran's divine origin and its profound insight into natural phenomena.
The verse is often interpreted as an indication that the Quran contains knowledge about the Earth that was not known at the time of its revelation.
In summary, the Quranic reference to mountains inside the Earth, aligning with recent geological findings of subterranean mountain structures, is seen by many as an example of the Quran's deep insights into Earth's geology, which were only confirmed by science much later.
